The NBA wants to extend next year’s schedule, so as to eliminate some of the (dreaded) back-to-back games.  Yup, back-to-back games are just tooooo demanding for a league loaded with young (and getting younger) men.

The evidence was there, at the tag end of the season … all those DNP listings in the box scores. DNP, of course, being code for “rest and recuperation.”

Like I have said before, maybe players would not be so tired if they had a summer of rest. ****
