This season the NBA has seen a lot of their superstars go down with long term injuries such as Kobe Bryant, Russell Westbrook, Gallo, Derrick Rose(still out since last season). The length of the season may not have anything to do with all the injuries but it will not hurt for the NBA to shorten its season. The current NBA season last 82 games and is very tiring. The NBA should probably look into making the season shorter and having teams play less back to back games matter of fact no team should play back to back games. That way all teams and players are at full strength. Making the season shorter would mean games would become more important and intense and that is great for the NBA. NBA players are human!
