Silver also needs to acknowledge the total horse shit of injury reports. It’s becoming a complete joke. Healthy starters playing the minimum 10 minutes to avoid fines, injuries announced minutes before tipoff. They’re not even hiding anymore that a player just doesn’t feel like playing . Injuries are up 35% from last year and a lot of these don’t even feel legitimate.
These analytics geeks are ruining the game. Horrendous for the fan experience to travel hours to see your favorite player only to find out he’s a healthy scratch.
