knock on wood. i m watching some game recently and i noticed signs of fatigue from players ,the last few days box score is around 100 which is much lower than usual especialy when season started when games reach 120-130. also almost every team especialy in top seed either had covid or has mild to serious injury. and that become worse after ASG there are no more break. with that much stress on the body you either reaggrevate the injury or it will lead to another injury in another body part. the last part of the season is going to be even more intense as fringe playoff team will even put more effort and concedering you can make it just by reaching 10th seed . There is no chance players will get a break because of commitement to team usa in Olympic. I hope it just me being pessimestic but it possible we get a weird playoff were best or top seed wont make it because of injury.

Shouldve just called the All-Star game off. So may teams with players in and out of COVID protocol, recovering from other injuries. Just let the guys play. If the end-product/playoffs suck because of injuries, no ones going to give a shit that we had an
It does feel like there are more games in a shorter period of time. More crammed in there. Hopefully the second half schedule is not even rougher on teams that have played less games (should never be a 4 games in 5 nights)
Glad Im not the only one whos noticed that games have been scoring lower recently
covid isnt killing any players. stop it. the nba probably does need to move to a more spread out schedule in the future, probably means fewer games over the same time, but could mean the same 82 game schedule over more time. not sure what the sports medic
Im concerned about brons usage with AD out. Lakers will be fine without first seed, gotta stay healthy and load manage even if we all hate it
