    I think they could drop a dozen games and no one would know the difference

    What would it take to eliminate all back-to-backs?

    NBA is not changing the number of games. Period. So much history (and records) is connected to that number. They will continue to try to improve the schedule without reducing the number of games played.

    Play once at home and once away against every team. Playoffs seeded 1-16.

    AGAIN with a how many games? So AGAIN with my same answer. 82. Give me 100 games. I like basketball. Therefore I want to watch basketball. More games = more basketball. If you like basketball but want less games you're WEIRD. NEXT.

    Not to mention that fewer games will mean tickets will go up in price.
