IMO the past decade (or more) have shown too many meaningless games ........... many games between weak, non-playoff teams versus playoff teams who can afford to loan manage, given the weak opponent.
I've long been in favor of lowering games, or the very least, make a serious study of it ............ it was best shown in the recent bubble, they based on historical data, statistics, on the cut-off and criteria, on who'll be invited to the bubble and what would it take for the bubble participants (fringe teams) to make the play-in tournament.
Or possibly shrink the league - there's just too many teams, the league is watered down ........ too many weak teams - by incompetent owners and/or are inherently disadvantaged (sinong FA's ang pupunta sa Charlotte, Utah, Sacramento, etc).
It's good that the NBA will be implementing some home-away series this coming season, like in the MLB ........... teams plays each other for some games, just to limit the travel.

Hehe, siguradong aangal at mang-aasar na naman yung mga old school legends ex. Barkley, Pippen, etc ........... and they would be right, actually.
Players before had to endure a much physical NBA for the full 82 games slate.
But it's a different era now - the game is more scientific and much, much faster. There were even past suggestions to somehow increase the court size.
In JJ Redick's podcats, DWade was a recent guest ......... he admitted about one incident that convinced him to finally retire - the HEAT were playing the KINGS, DWade had to guard Hield and Fox .......... reklamo daw siya kay Spo na i-bangko na siya, hindi daw niya kaya ang bilis nung dalawa. Hehe.

Adam Silver is the progressive type .......... he's slowly making improvements to the league, which are ideas whos time has come.
Like the All-Star Game, much more exciting now with removing the East-West format and replacing it with the draft.
