Cutting NBA games to 40 minutes will do very little to solve injury issues. Teams will still play their best players 30-35 minutes. It's the bench guys who will see fewer minutes.
Also, players still have to prep and warm up 82 times if the number of games stays the same.

Every NBA champion since 2001 finished the regular season inside this Title Zone.
At least +3.3 points per 100 possessions better than average, with no real hole on offense or defense.
Two weeks in, 10 teams are in it. History says about half will still be there in April.

Mikal Bridges with the Knicks in 37 playoff games:
14.5 PPG, 3 APG, 4 RPG & 1 steal on 50/35/85 shooting with fantastic defense & a bunch of clutch shots.
I think I’ll keep the known playoff performer & deal with some regular season issues.

Interesting stat: Darius Acuff Jr averages 11.2 potential assists a game, which is 24th in the NBA.
That's more than the following players:
Kyrie Irving
Steph Curry
SGA
Devin Booker
Giannis
Luka Doncic
Fred VanVleet
Donovan Mitchell
Tyrese Maxey
His assist to pass percentage is 11.1%. Your teammates have to hit shots too.
He also averages 6.3 assists per game, which is tied for 20th. And he leads all the rookies in assists.

The last time the Nets beat the Knicks:
• ‘X’ was called ‘Twitter’
• Barbie & Oppenheimer hadn’t come out yet
• Miley Cyrus's "Flowers" had just debuted at No. 1.
• Tom Brady was still an active NFL player.
and
• Derrick Rose & Evan Fournier were STILL Knicks
It also was 1,374 DAYS AGO…

Michael Jordan has a 8 year stretch where he never lost 2 games in a row. That is a real stat that matters. Not all this other bullshit that has zero impact on winning. 🤷🏾♂️ #nba
