dude been lowkey tugging GS nuts and I get his hate for LBJ for tricking him into being a heat fan but somehow that hate is extending to westbrook
check this out fellas, some interesting stuff that the GM for Houston brings up:
Houston Rockets GM says the NBA could improve by following the NFL's model and cutting its season in half

The NBA has a season problem.
In addition to many fans tuning out the long 82-game season until the playoffs, the NBA has a problem internally, with players resting to preserve their bodies and bad teams being forced to tank and lose games once they realize they're not competitive.
The common argument has been that the NBA will have a tough time making any meaningful changes because there's too much money at stake —each lost game means fewer money for the owners.
However, Houston Rockets GM Daryl Morey thinks that the NBA could actually still benefit with a drastic change that follows the NFL's model. Morey told ESPN's Tom Haberstroh that greater scarcity of games would help the league.
"'The idea that the NFL would make more money with 82 games is absurd,' Morey said. 'Shorter schedule increases the importance of each game, which drives TV ratings, which drives the lion's share of money for most top pro leagues.'
"Morey believes the NBA would make more money in the long-term if it cut games from the schedule. The NFL faces diminishing returns because of the barbaric physicality of the sport. It chose 16 games."
On Monday, Morey went on ESPN's "Mike and Mike" and defended his stance. Morey first explained the NBA's problems.
"Most of the top major sports, the majority of their money comes from television, obviously, with the NFL leading the way, the NBA, obviously, huge amounts of television money. And people tune into the games based on two things. One is, how important is this game to the overall prize of that league, whatever it is, and two is, how uncertain is the outcome? Well, the NBA unfortunately fails during the regular season at a pretty high level at both of those issues. One, most of the games in the regular season do not make a huge difference to the overall prize, and two, we also have a game that is structured where the better teams beat the worse teams at a much higher rate.
"So, by shortening the number of games — and this is a tough gamble by the NBA and I understand that — it's almost for sure that by shortening the number of games, the ratings would rise and it would lead to higher television money."
He then offered his ideas on just how the league shorten its season, saying the NBA could have 30-40 games per season and one- or three-game playoff series to drive greater interest.
"I think it could be quite a bit dramatic, along with shortening playoff series. I don't actually think there's a magic number. Actually, what I think you need to do is shorten it to up the interest. I think it could go as low as 30-40 and shortening playoff series to one to three [games] ... I would say the league, though, would like quite a bit of variance. It's actually really helpful for the NFL, for example, and another reason they have so much interest, that you have 'any given Sunday.' You have a playoffs where it is one-and-done. Those two things help drive interest to a massive level. You actually don't want the better team to win all the time, you want that uncertainty of outcome."
Morey's idea is an interesting one to imagine. If the NBA cut its season to 40 games, and played two games per week over a 20-week season, it would certainly draw more interest and make the actual experience of the games rarer and more valuable. There would be more time to market the games, more intrigue over the biggest matchups, and a greater possibility of a lesser team beating a better team on any random night.
Of course, it's worth arguing if this would still be intriguing enough to top the revenue that comes from an 82-game season. While there are undoubtedly problems with the current format, the NBA also just inked a $24 billion TV deal, raising the salary cap and franchise values to previously unseen levels. There's also been a boom of young, exciting talent, and the league is experiencing its most exciting MVP race in years, with several household names ranking as worthy candidates. Many people would argue that the league has never been in a better place.
It seems unlikely that the NBA would consider an idea as drastic as Morey's, but having such a prominent voice speak out on the issue could encourage change.
60 games but not 40.
Does the MLB suffer from this as well? Me and my friends had a similar discussion not too long ago. I agree with a shortened season but the NBA/Owners are willing to take a hit in the pockets. Plus how would this not affect players' money as well?
I was looking forward to the finals but the way CLE is playing ehh...should be easy for GS...as bills said rockets/thunder should be good...I wouldn't mind seen a heat/cavs 1st round
I ain't "tuggin nuts" but I got my Warriors Jersey ready. I want them to shit on the league so bad. They deserve it.
Man I hate the playoffs now.
Lowkey?!?!
He's hanging on to them nuts like grim death. BrownTurd at least admitted his stance. It's fuck Lebron. Even the true GS fans on this board aren't saying shit about westbrook just because of the Durant link. This cat acts like he is a true fan of the game. Any true fan of the game respects what Westbrook as done. All true fans in this thread and across the net salute this season from Westbrook. Period.
nigga need to be honest w/ himself
@BeatDownRecords , these cats talkin reeeeel greasy fam... 
I ain't "tuggin nuts" but I got my Warriors Jersey ready

Say bro, you remember last week when I said, "you didn't have a choice"
Damn bro
@BeatDownRecords , these cats talkin reeeeel greasy fam...

it don't need to be shortened just planned better.

I wish you was a Pelicans fan

Nigga on a stakeout .
Damn @BeatDownRecords these ninjas at your throat
I'm not denying y'all don't have talent. But with as much talent as y'all have you guys are still one of the worst teams in the league.
I have no problem with Harrison. I think he's a solid player. His money isn't even considered superstar money anymore when Mike Conley making 150 million.
And trust once all those guys become free agents they too will be getting "superstar money". Robert Covington will be getting the same contract Harrison Barnes got. Saric even more.
In regards to y'all future being brighter then ours? I can't even say that. Personnel wise you guys have a future but at what point?
Let's be real right here what reputable coaches want to coach for Philly? What reputable players want to play for Philly. So while I agree personnel wise y'all future is brighter than the Mavs...I think our organization is more reputable and willing to get even the Harrison Barnes of the world. What good is it to tank for these guys if they just gonna bolt and leave once their contracts are up?
Yep......the perfect team for him.
It be the wild excuses too. "Man I been on the moon with my job so I could not post."That why if the Cavs make a run and start winning and he starts posting we should all collectively ignore all his posts. No acknowledgement or responding to nine of his bullshit! Just ignore his ass, that shit will drive his dumb ass crazy...
Meanwhile this nigga have 40 post a day in other threads like we ain't see it
Fuck is an idiot on steroids!!!! Fuck that clown and fuck anything he has to say! I really hope as a board we all can agree to ignore his retarded ass... That shit would have him in therapy!!
Ahhhh No... They are already talking about letting Covington walk Bruh... We are still in our process like I said, potentially 2 top 5 picks this season.... Embiid, ROY-Saric, Simmons, and two top 5-10 picks next year?!?!?! I'm chilling watching this shit all come together like
I dont think they would take a hit at all, neither side; It would be similar to the nfl model in that they would charge more for TV rights; wouldnt affect pockets; they would lose on the stadium money though; but they would more than make up for it from TV and media money; I think every team should play each other twice and thats it; thats all thats needed...
I'm old skool BruhIt Is What It Is............multi quotes bruh. Nigga got like the last 6 replies in the thread.
Was hoping to do this with punk pussy Beeiii and Dr. Truth but for some reason people still communicate with dem two fuck boys.Fuck is an idiot on steroids!!!! Fuck that clown and fuck anything he has to say! I really hope as a board we all can agree to ignore his retarded ass... That shit would have him in therapy!!
Lowkey?!?!
