Here’s an idea that the NBA should consider: Less NBA.
As this week’s slate of Nuggets games illustrated repeatedly — underscoring a theme that’s plagued the league for years during the load management era — you can have too much of a good thing.It began, of course, with Joel Embiid and the Philadelphia 76ers’ visit to Ball Arena on Monday night.
Later on in the week, Jokic sat on back-to-back nights while resting a calf injury of his own, missing a home game against New Orleans on Thursday, followed by a trip to Phoenix the very next night. Instead, we’ll place the blame squarely where it belongs: On a way-too-long NBA regular season followed by a similarly tedious and taxing postseason that renders everything that happened before it moot.
The Nuggets are running laps around the Western Conference this season, with the difference between them and the fourth-place team a tidy 10 games entering Friday night. Their reward for such dominance? A best-of-seven series against a barely .500 play-in team like the Lakers or Pelicans in which Denver’s only built-in advantage will be getting to host up to four of those games at Ball Arena.
