In the context of the NBA, the regular season consists of 82 games, spread across multiple continents with long road trips. Does this volume of play affect players' physical condition and teams' ability to stay competitive until the playoffs? Do you think the current number of games favors or penalizes smaller-market teams, and what alternatives could make the competition more balanced?
What impact does the NBA season format have on team competitiveness?

Exactly, I’ve noticed that the 82 games + long road trips tire out smaller teams without deep benches, while big clubs stay competitive thanks to their rotations. A format with fewer games or regional series would cut down on fatigue and make the playoff race more balanced.
