Steve Kerr revives the debate of a shortened regular season

Steve Kerr is very sorry for the Pelicans fans, but also the viewers. Last night, for the second night of a back-to-back, he felt he had no choice but to rest his four All-Stars: Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Andrew Wiggins and Draymond Green.

“At the end of such a brutal road trip, you clearly have to think about the long term” entrusted the coach of the Warriors. “I have two players who are probably not going to play a lot of back-to-backs, if any, and then two others who are really injured at the moment. I apologize to all the fans who were hoping to see these players and won’t see them, but we’re just trying to keep the main objective in mind. »

“Good luck getting the idea across…”

Steve Kerr assures him: he would like his players to be on the floor every evening, but it is impossible today with a season of 82 matches spread over six months.

“The league is trying to remedy that by relaxing the schedule a bit. I have this in mind all the time: people spend money to see a team, and then someone doesn’t play? It’s not something I ignore. I know it hurts. Over the years we have had many discussions with fans who have found themselves in this situation. But, in the end, player health is the #1 factor in our team’s success and even our long-term fan satisfaction, as we want to keep the guys healthy throughout the season. »

In the end, what would he like as a calendar to align his players every night? “Ideally, a 65-game season, and everyone will play every night. But good luck getting the idea across… Maybe 70”.

The NBA has indeed already rejected the idea of ​​a shortened season, quite simply for financial reasons since players are paid on the basis of an 82-game season, and TV contracts and ticketing revenues are based on 1,230 meetings per year.
