Usenet thread from 1985 discussing all the problems with the NBA

[staticshock]

The complaints are the same because the same problems still exist and the real solution will never be used.

The real solution being The 50 game season. That would solve literally every complaint about the NBA having meaningless games/boring games, injuries, minutes managing ect, but they would never do a solution that requires them to sell less product and in turn make less money. so everything is essentially a work around. play in tournaments, mid season tournaments, rules favoring offense, etc etc etc
Season length is why the NFL will always be top dog over all other leagues

I wish folks stop with this shorten the season bullshyt. MJ & the rest of the old guard played every game..this is professional basketball at its highest level. shyt is supposed to be challenging.
