Dear Adam Silver, Please Do Something About Minutes Restrictions
Let me start by saying I’m a man of science. Climate change is real and corporations should be held responsible. Vaccinate your children (and pets!) Mayo helps achieve great browning for your grilled cheeses. I’m not anti-analytics. And I’m not even anti-load management. And yet for the life of me, I could not understand why in the world in the middle of the fourth quarter of Zion Williamson’s debut NBA game, after a stretch in which he scored 17 points in 188 seconds, the Pelicans—who are chasing a playoff spot!—had to plant him on the bench for the rest of the night. This is an NBA crisis!
