Why doesn’t the NBA just have an 87 game season? (alien.top)

It would make more sense for them to do away with conferences and have each team play each other 3 times. That way the standings would be perfectly balanced and you wouldn’t have the “this conference is tougher than the other” argument. Most soccer leagues in the world use a similar format.

Nah we don't need less games if anything we need more. Star players aren't playing more than 65 games regardless of how many are in a season.

Extend the season and 100% of that increased play time will go to the bench players. Let's not kid ourselves
