Don't agree with AG. Playoffs are too long as it is. If they want to do that they need to cut down the rounds or make earlier ones fewer games.

I’d say shorten the season, but less games equals less money.

Aaron was talking playoffs and time between games.
If the players union agrees to smaller monies then you might get traction one day.
Read NBA players run 9% more now then did 10 years ago. This is they are covering more ground in games.
Minutes over decades come and go this is not a recent phenom.

Note few years back in same series Klay and Durant both blew out. Fatigue matters I have no doubt. Yes I agree with Gordon.
How to solve? Thats not on this fan. Perhaps one day deeper rosters with even talent and paid as such becomes a formula. Staying healthy is luck and perhaps preparation. Time and time again that team that sustains health wins. Out West Chris Paul breaking often changed the outcome of the conference. Best team cannot sustain full season thru playoffs health.

I desperately want to see this Philadelphia trade for KD happen. They deserve it!

That's almost Josh Hart level 3point shooting and getting zero on the defensive side of things?

He was clearly hurt. But you can make a case that his production never matched his contract and, as Brandon Ingram showed, I think we'll see less market max deals going forward. Going over the second apron is too punitive.

Always... always remember: Less is less. More is more. More is better and twice as much is good too. Not enough is bad, and too much is never enough except when it's just about right. - The Tick

Didn't know this was a thing, but well deserved! Just a complete organization top to bottom now!

Starters played record minutes but missed relatively few games. The training staff, the medical staff, did their part in helping keep the Knicks healthy.

The white guy in the suit and glasses is the dude they brought in from Dallas. He was highly praised.

I’d say shorten the season, but less games equals less money.

I hate the notion of shortening games - ex 2 20 minute halves has been thrown around. Can’t bare the thought of of less Knicks in either minutes per game or reducing the # of games.

I’ve heard people throw around a 60 game regular season with some expanded playoffs BUT think about us as Knick fans of some very bad teams. We’d be losing 22 regular season games (2 months) and miss the playoffs. That would be like losing 25% of our enjoyment.

Hope they leave it alone.

He was Houdini and practically disappeared from the screen watching the Nuggets this playoffs.

Rarely dribbles and basically only catches and shoots off screens going to his left. Seems very soft on boards as well.

Was expecting much more from him.
