The first three games of the NBA In-Season Tournament will occur on November 4 in the morning (Vietnam time). The tournament has officially begun.

As a result, a mid-season tournament will feature all 30 teams competing. Except for the finals, the results of the in-season tournaments still apply to the 82-game regular season.

Regarding the Golden State Warriors, they defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder 141-139 in their opening game of the NBA In-Season Tournament this year. Coach Steve Kerr still feels that the NBA should reduce the number of games teams must play, even though this match does not add more competition to the Golden State Warriors’ schedule.

For what reason does NBA coach Steve Kerr want fewer games played?

The NBA used to always have 82 games in the Regular Season. That was many years ago. It can be argued that the schedule is fairly full, with many teams having to play two games in just two days.

Not only that, but many teams struggle physically with the constant travel associated with playing in four different time zones, despite the NBA’s introduction of more suitable competition schedules that include scheduling series of matches. before permitting that team to go back to their home field, guests in nearby areas.

Coach Steve Kerr believes that this kind of schedule is excessive “”I believe we should have a shorter NBA season. I think about 70 to 73 games is appropriate. The players need to rest in the context of too many matches. They have trained very hard to constantly improving. We can reach a new position if the tournament cuts the number of matches and gives the players more rest.”

Based on the NBA schedule, teams that advance to the playoff round will have to play a significant number of games in addition to the 82 games in the Regular Season. It makes sense, then, that head coach Steve Kerr would prefer fewer games in the Regular Season.

“Having the NBA In-season Tournament is a good thing and I like it. I just want a more effective and lighter schedule for all players,” said coach Steve Kerr.

Regarding the NBA In-Season Tournament, what statement did the Golden State Warriors make?

The NBA In-Season Tournament presents the Golden State Warriors with a chance to further their legacy as a team by winning another championship. Coach Steve Kerr still intends to adjust, despite some believing that the Warriors will encounter intense competition when all four of their pillars are older than thirty-three.

“I don’t think having an older squad is a disadvantage. You have to admit, we don’t let the players play up to 45 minutes per match. We need to rotate personnel continuously during the match, depending on the situation. according to the nature and opponent. My players are used to this and I’m not worried about it at all,” Steve Kerr stated.

The Warriors strategist also mentioned that the players’ constant goal is to win in every arena they visit when discussing the NBA In-Season Tournament. “My players are hungry for that and I don’t need to give them any motivation. Winning the In-Season Tournament can boost the players’ cohesion for the rest of the season.”

Of course, winning an NBA championship is still the Golden State Warriors’ top priority. They want to make the most of Stephen Curry’s last years of peak performance before starting a protracted rebuilding project later on. This will be an extremely challenging goal, though, given that all of the opponents in the West have strong forces and credentials.
