ESPN says 48 game conference schedule

The NBA's regular season will run Dec. 25-April 26, a league source told ESPN.

The 66-game season will include 48 conference games, down from 52 last season. With only 18 games against teams from the other conference, teams will not visit every NBA city.

Teams will play about two more games per month, and each team will play on three straight nights at least once, but no more than three times.

Off days in the second round of the playoffs will also be limited.

Is there a reason why they can't go into May and play more games?

Because they don't want the Finals in July?

What I mean to ask is that is there an agreement with TNT/ESPN or with MLB/NFL/NHL or anyone else that the NBA season should be done by a certain month?

It's really going to be on coaches to give rest and limit minutes as much as possible. It can be done. It's not going to be easy, but it can be done. Iman, Fields, Brown, Shawne, TD, Jordan, Harrellson, Walker and Rautins will have to step up and make their minutes count. They're the young fresh legs the team will have to rely on. IMO the team isn't as depleted as it seemed after the trade. There's a good amount of youth on the team still and they can add a couple more to the mix.

Jordan, Harrellson, Walker, brown (if he's on the team) will have little impact. Rautins will probably not even be on the roster.

But if they actually played the play offs every other night instead of the nonsense where they stretch the first round out to 2 weeks, they could!
