Let fewer teams in the playoffs. Create incentives to play more games. Create
a regular season champion and have that team raise a banner for winning the regular season. None of these will happen.
Value durability more than championships.

Can the NBA really do anything about this whole resting controversy?

especially considering it's a good idea. as Popovich has said, would you

You really think sitting a few games will add 3 years to a career?

one of the greatest coaches in NBA history said it, not me.

That's usually when they sit them. Second game of a back-to-back, on the road.

82 games is ridiculous amount. Only way to fix this is to reduce# of games but

Makes sense. The argument would be that they have played 82 games for a long

They can, but they won't. Because the answer is to shorten the season

I think they'd come around to settling for 80 million instead of 100.

History shows that is not the case

They could, but then teams would just lie and say something like "knee soreness"

There's really no way to fine them, they would just start saying they're injured

There are things that can be done. Lots of things.

Then you just play a guy for 2 minutes and rest him the rest of the game
fredgarvin
3/23/17 10:23am
That defeats the point of rest. Even warming up defeats the "rest" the body
Lance71
3/23/17 10:25am
Not if they just stand around for 1 minute, call timeout, and take them out.
fredgarvin
3/23/17 10:27am
So you add a minutes played. Under certain number of minutes counts as a rest
Lance71

LOL. It clearly is difficult, or there wouldn't be all these reasons why it

Didn't they fine the Spurs/Popovich a few years ago for resting people?

then you'd have tanking starting at christmas.

Tanking is easier to fix. Just rotate the lottery. No incentive to tank.

They could extend the season, but not the number of games to give more time to rest. They could schedule smarter

They already are doing this. The season is a full 7 days longer this year than

I liked an idea that Nick Wright had on the Herd yesterday. Would help stop

I would like that idea more if head-to-head during the season was balanced
fredgarvin
3/23/17 10:28am
I don't think that can happen. Isn't the schedule balanced?
Baron

No, it's not. Just looking at the Lakers schedule this year as an example:

That's terribly unfair. The Heat would have home court

Only way to realistically do this, though, is to shorten the season

You could implement a 10-day disable rule.

Season should be 60 games long. Start first week of December and end in April.

It's not always the player's decision to rest, sometimes it's the coaches.
