This new mindset that basketball just became about endurance and it was easier in years past need to stop. JJ Reddick be pushing that nonsense. I keep seeing that as a excuse for dudes to sit out games and why they don't play defense. It's disrespectful to the work dudes put in the past.

Apparently playing defense requires one to exert more energy so it’s pushed off to lesser players

Because jj low key knows it got easier as his career went on, but his ego wont let him accept that. He wants to think the game that he couldnt participate in early in his career was somehow inferior to the game where he was allowed to shoot all game and get scored on without accountability.

If they didn’t make some changes their would be some wild analytics soon saying as long as Player A plays at 135% in 40% of the regular season he’s actually better off than playing in 82 games.

Was defense really better or were players just offensively challenged? You can go watch a low scoring middle school girls game and that doesn't mean great defense is being played 
Also before it comes...hard fouling =/= defense.

We have data. Players are absolutely running more than ever now.
Even just ten years ago in the 2013-14 season, Parsons led the league in distance traveled. Maxey, Bridges, & Rozier have already passed him in January.

Seeing the success of the Thunder, I don't understand why the Rockets don't want to be patient with the rebuild.
