As the NBA playoffs continue, the action has been better than ever and significantly more intense than the regular season. The question now looms, what can the NBA do to improve its struggling regular season?
I believe the NBA should cut down the number of games in a season. Currently each team plays 82 games and with the NBA Cup, some teams could be playing more than this amount. I propose that the NBA should cut the season down to somewhere around 65 games.
For players, the season is a marathon, not a sprint. With more games in a season, players are more likely to get injured and often star players will sit out games due to this reason. With less games in a season, teams will have more days off, more time to recover, and more.
With less than 82 games, each game will bring a different meaning. It will make each game much more meaningful to the playoff race. It will give players more of an incentive to compete every game and make the games more enjoyable to watch.
The NBA playoffs has been unbelievably entertaining with all of the close games going on. Also, I believe that just the simple comparison of the playoffs to the regular season is astronomically different.
I think that a shortened regular season benefits almost everyone involved. Players benefit and fans enjoy the games more. What more can you ask for? This is the solution that the NBA needs to implement as soon as possible.
