The spacing is the best I have seen it so far this season and it is finally suiting the line-ups on the floor.

It still amazes me with the amount that @NBALPSupport charges overseas fans that we cannot get access to pre and post game shows on local streams.

Drew Timme was on a HEATER🔥 The @Suns Two-Way center put on a show as he finished the night with 31 PTS, 12 REB, and 7 AST in his @GLeagueSuns debut 👏

I actually agree after running all the numbers.
The only benefit of a shorter season is there are fewer games to get injured in. But the data doesn’t support the schedule, back to backs, etc as a factor in increased injuries.
There also isn’t any support for the idea that load management and more rest days have done anything to reduce injuries.
The injury problem is primarily lower body muscle strains happening early in the season. And that’s something that is most affected by off season and preseason prep and conditioning - not the schedule or style of play.
I’m beginning to think the “injury problem” is really a modern athlete problem with a lack of proper out of season and preseason ramp up/conditioning.
Iman Shumpert goes off on anyone calling for the NBA to shorten its 82 game season, arguing that players should focus on conditioning and changing how they play instead of reducing the number of games.
Shumpert points to legends like Michael Jordan, Karl Malone, John Stockton and Gary Payton, who played 82 game seasons, questioning why today’s players need fewer games. He believes the league should bring back more physical basketball, with players attacking the post, taking midrange shots, playing through contact and cutting down on flopping and exaggerated moves.
He also questions how much extra time players would actually gain from shortening the season, arguing that changing the way the game is played may be a better solution to the injury problem.

Point guard, point guard, point guard. We want a point guard, we have a roster spot. Bring back the bloke that got the most out of every player he played with in Phoenix. #BringbackCP3
I also wish I had a job paying millions of dollars where my colleagues done alll the work and I just got to have fun and receive all the praise 🙏🏻
I wish Jalen Green was treated more like Derrick Rose in terms of roster construction, an entire roster of elite, selfless defensive personnel who didn't care about scoring, giving him a 100% usage rate to dictate the offense on raw impulse.
Jalen Green is playing in an era and on a Suns team next to Devin Booker where he is just one piece of a multi starred puzzle. He doesn't have a 4 man shield of purely defensive monsters allowing him to play 48 minutes of unfiltered playground ball.
He doesn't need a system literally similar to 2011 D Rose because that's outdated but all he needs is a defensive safety net at center, a vertical rim protector. Players who catch, shoot, or immediately redrive without stopping the ball. A co-star (like Booker) who forces defenses to make a fatal choice: double Booker and let Jalen rip through the paint, or single cover Jalen and watch him blow by his defender at 100 mph.
Jalen Green doesn't need to carry an entire offense on his back alone. He just needs the Suns to clean up the floor geometry so he can unleash that raw, downhill impulse without running into a crowded paint.

Probably the most realistic trade target if the Suns decide to deal Jalen Green.
Makes similar money, holds similar value, and gives the Suns a more apt fit next to Devin Booker.
REPORT: The belief around the league is that the Pelicans and Dejounte Murray are working together to find him a “better situation”, per @FearTheBrown.
Perfect suns fit 🔥
