One would imaging that Spurs coach Gregg Popovich would lead the drum beat for any NBA schedule change that would lessen the amount of back-to-back games, and especially the dreaded four-in-five nights.
If it comes at the expense of a longer season, however, he’s not a fan.
“I think the season is long enough,” Popovich said. “I will not come to work in July. If there’s a game in July, count me out.”
Even a championship game?
“Count me out. Count me out. Life is too short.”
Popovich was joking — we think — but his point remains: The NBA season already stretches over nine full months, from the start of training camp in October until finishing up with the Finals in June.
