There really isn't anything Adam silver could do.  Ypu can't mandate healthy players ay x number of games or x number of minutes per game.  If so who qualifies for this, it gets real messy.  Only thing you can do is shake your head, but good on curry for not wanting to "load manage" or kerr to sit down.  Players and coaches from the 80s and 90s would never deal with this.

Honestly Curry is good enough all by himself to carry the offensive load and when they get Klay it is going to be quite different. However they do need some roster management for sure, they were a great team when they had klay+curry and then players that had a role, now it is not like that too much. I believe they need a proper SF when Klay gets back, or maybe even SG and put Klay on SF if they want to, all those Oubre and Wiggins type of players are not good fit to GSW, they need good defensive players who can share the ball and maybe occasionally hit the three (not like curry of course, nobody can).

I think next year depends on this off-season, if they can somehow offload Wiggins and get someone else, they will definitely be a much better team next year, but it all depends on what they do, plus how Klay comes back is very important as well.

Anthony Davis will be back in uniform for the Lakers against the Dallas Mavericks tomorrow. A long time coming. Will be great to see them get LeBron back soon for a nice Finals run. They’ve both been missed recently as the Lakers have dropped quite a few spots out west. I still like their odds overall, as the Nets haven’t gotten much time together playing as their new team (although with that much talent it might not matter).

I will give it a 90% chance since even he's cleared out to play, there's no official statement yet about it but expected to release few hours before their tip-off with the Mavericks. As per the report, Davis will be on limited time restrictions, about 15 minutes, which is understandable. Can't wait to see how Vogel will rotate AD together with another AD, Andre Drummond.

AD + AD on the paint would be a problem for any team. Both are dominant offensively and defensively.

But since I'm biased, I'm still with the Mavericks. Expecting good ML odds for them against the Lakers.

Load management is okay if it's not abuse by some team, injuries do really happen even with a load management as you cannot be sure than once you step in the court, you'll not be injured. They should review the load management and make it more strict probably.

As a fan, I always expect to see my favorite player playing in any game, but with this load management, sometimes they rest so that's just frustrating and it's actually more frustrating if you have bought a ticket and you are in the arena and then you find out that the star player will not play due to load management.

I agree to that, it's not the players that are soft in this modern era, infact players are most explosive, can shoot deep threes, and even have the 250+ pounds body that can move swiftly, agile and fast. But it's the NBA itself for changing so much in-game decisions from regular fouls down to technical fouls.
I remember Timmy got teched while sitting at the sideline for laughing at a referee's decision.
Back in the 90's you can't get tech taunting and shouting at your opponent after a poster.

You can't really compare era's though, maybe what the NBA has done is to really help the players with all this load management, but it seems it has back fired on them. Players and fans are criticizing it.

Now the control is more on the officiating, teams can challenge a call, etc. There's a lot of changes now and the NBA has really evolved, but there are pros and cons about it.

The New York Knicks is getting straight wins which take them into 4th spot in the Eastern Conference by beating the Atlanta Hawks today in the overtime. Looks like the few games left will be hard for those who are in the tight spot because every team right now is playing as we've never seen before.

Yes I would have to agree with you, I'm also thinking though, correct me if I'm wrong, teams are investing huge amount of money to players right now that they have to do this kind of load management thingy. Unlike in the 90's wherein everyone doesn't care, no blood, no foul.

Another outstanding game for this team, Randle leading the team with support comes from each players inside the court. This really a huge achievement from this long forgotten squad.

Bringing the legacy back to the story, I remember them way back when Melo still playing with them and also tried to bring them back to the conference semi finals but failed after facing the Pacers.

Nearing to the playoffs they've got now a good position number 4 and hopefully they'll manage it up to climb for more.
