    If a shorter season genuinely improves the quality of play, owners can probably recoup that lost revenue through higher ticket prices. Losing five home dates a year is not that dramatic, and a ten dollar average increase per ticket would likely cover the gap without much pushback from fans. Local broadcasters like FanDuel would take a small hit with fewer games to air, but national broadcasters would barely notice the difference. Unlike the NFL, where cutting games also cuts weeks of programming, the NBA can fit a shortened season into the exact same calendar window, so national TV schedules stay intact. And if the on court product actually improves, better games drive higher ratings, and higher ratings let the league charge more for advertising, so that revenue stream could end up neutral or even increase. The real question, though, is whether 72 games actually produces a meaningfully better product than 82, and that part is worth being skeptical about.

    Flagg with 51 tonight. He is the youngest player in league history to score 50.

    At least we have Pelicans-Kings to close the night.

    Boston won tonight, so Detroit can wrap up the east against Philly tomorrow. Of course Philly will probably be sitting at least Embiid since they played tonight.

    I'm the opposite. It's been brutal watching since about the all star break. Didn't help the last third of the season had a horrible schedule. Even when they did play a good team one or both teams were not healthy. 18 games played in March and maybe 4 of them were decent/healthy opponents. It isn't just Detroit either. Every night is a struggle to find a good game on LP or any of the national games. The NBA regular season is the biggest joke in sports. It's basically preseason extended. Playoffs are great though.

    Ooops. Meant to post this first.
  9. Deleterious
    Amen

    It just gives them an excuse for their 1st round exit.
  11. Deleterious
    Correct

    Zion Williamson is 1 of 2 overall #1 picks between 1980-2023 to have never played in a playoff game. The second one is pretty easy.

    Most feel too many legitimate injuries are a problem as well.
  14. Deleterious
    Yep. They can clinch tonight if Boston loses to Milwaukee. It's more likely they clinch tomorrow when Detroit plays Philly.

    This is by far the biggest issue the league is facing.

    Luka pulled his hamstring tonight. He was grabbing it in the second quarter and the Lakers kept him in down 30 at the half.

    Jenkins is money at the line in close games. I want him on the line over anyone else in crunch time

    Dumb foul by Huerter.
  20. Deleterious
    The lob was pretty.
  21. Deleterious
    I hate when a ref waits to see if the shot goes in before calling a foul.

    I predict JB loses us a playoff game with a really stupid challenge.
  23. Deleterious
    Did they say why Harris is done for the game?
  24. Deleterious
    Didn't feel like the pistons played all that well and they are still tied at the half
  25. Deleterious
    Prime short changed Cade on the assists there.
