Player The unfortunately low-ceilinged Shaolin monastery of Victor Wembanyama

[Corso]

Sit vs Portland.

Spend 20 minutes chucking 3's vs Dallas, and if Dallas gets cute guarding Wemby, we unleash the Bizmack PG experiment and upset their tank efforts (they are neck and neck with NO and MEM).

Last game vs Denver: it all depends.

I think I need the fully unleashed Bizmack PG experiment in my life before I die.

Feels like Friday he may try to get those 20 min in. Then you have 7-8 days before the playoffs.

Paul George's mission... Not Accomplished.

Alright, I guess I can get to work now...oh wait, it's time to go home.

Yeah I don't think they need to do away with it completely and it sounds like they won't.

I like adding the minutes OR 65 game threshold tweak. I like having 2nd and/or 3rd team all nba not being tied to it. Decoupling how it affects contract extensions, supermaxes, etc. is probably also worth taking a look at.

The best solution would be reducing the number of regular season games but that's not gonna happen. So i'm still for whatever incentivizes star players to actually play tbh.

Zach Lowe has said from day one, let 3rd team have no requirements.

Just throw a flak jacket on him for 1 game

Is 7 days enough time for him to fly to his home planet to get treatment?

So many experts here. In my opinon wemby should play 30minutes tomorrow then rest on friday and play sunday finale against the nuggets to up his ppg to 25ppg.

Discuss with your therapist.

Phoenix is probably the friskiest and I don’t love Brooks teeing off on Vic’s ribs for 4-5 games. But Spurs should advance against any of those 3 tbh.

Sitting out is pretty much required now because of the style of basketball that’s played. In the past the area of play is much smaller, where the three point line is pretty much the limit of the area you have to guard. Nowadays the limit is up to 30, 35 feet out, depending on the team you are playing.

Also, the step backs, side steps, eurosteps, slow steps, quick stops and all of that is killing the players knees and backs. Previously most of that herky jerky action is mostly by the defence, and the starts and stops aren’t even as tough as the offence today.

Some of these moves are not allowed in years past. Those gather steps, offensive fouls, illegal screens help with the scoring but absolutely put a strain on the defenders body.

If the nba wants to stop this, take out all the illegal moves and it can solve maybe 30% of the problem, call illegal screens and that’s another 30% of the problem.

Finally someone else showing some love for Bismack my boi

To be fair, @wEmBoY has explicitily said he's a Wemby fan, not a Spurs one.

20 fucking minutes.

Sorry, but I don't think 82 basketball games in 6 months and 4/5 games a week is a lot. Starters play somewhere between what 30-40 minutes a game. That's 120 to 200 minutes a week. If a top athlete in the best shape of their life can't pull that off there's something wrong. Especially when players in previous decades were doing it on the regular. That's why I don't really understand all this "rest" talk. I can see the flying all over being a issue and maybe doing away with back to backs but again back to backs have been around for decades. Now with that being said I'm all for player safety first and foremost. At the end of the day they are the ones putting asses in seats and eyes on tvs. So like I've mentioned before if a player is hurt and can't go you don't play them.

you may not think so but data are showing you are wrong. Nowadays players are suffering higher injury rates than in the past. In the 80s and 90s it was commun for players to go through 82 games it is not the case anymore. So far there are a handfull of players only who played all games, last season only 11 players completed 82 games.

With actual pace of the game, intensity, international ball, trainings etc... playing 82 games in 6 months is simply insane. The argument of in the past they were doing it is not flying anymore. We had numerous POs match ups boring as fuck due to star players injured, this year won't be different.

Putting a minimum random number of games to make players eligible for higher contract is not going to solve the problem it is just creating another one.

 

[brazil]

But its not just the NBA's rule. The players agreed to this! The players could make the 82 games a sticking point but they also don't want to take less money. The 65 game mark is what they jointly came up with.

I have never said players were smart tbh

I am personnally fine with 82 games but on a longer period. 4 to 5 games a week is nuts
