What happened? A diagnosis

[fifteenth]

Basketball should reduce games if you can jack around for 2/3rd or 3/4ths a season.

Or do something different than the current half-entertainment half-trying seasons go.

This is just my take, but I think teams do all of the following things during the regular season (plus more that I don't know about because I'm not a bball professional): develop players, try different lineups and gather data on those lineups, attempt to keep players healthy, work through injuries, keep players in shape, and pace the team to keep them healthy and fresh mentally and physically. And they try to win games while managing all that other stuff. 

I don't think there is much "jacking around" that goes on except for the having fun variety that is needed to keep everyone healthy mentally.
