The NBA season is a grind.
Games come at teams, players and coaches in a never-ending succession with little time to stop and take a breath. practices are a luxury and a chance to make corrections and develop players. But a lot of the preparation and scouting has to happen quickly immediately after games and verbally in between.
Every minute is precious in that process as there is a race to get players ready.
Truly from the moment the coaching staff gets off the plane to the moment before tip-off, they are doing some type of preparation to get their team ready.
