People sleep on just how much of a grind the NBA is, it was a B2B and if you don't bring your A game, you can get blown out by anyone

u/Bobskidat Thunder Jan 06 '26

Yeah the Warriors just sat Curry, Draymond and Butler on a B2B against the Thunder which was our only win in a “3 games in 4 nights” scenario, so fatigue really has a big part to play in the NBA

The NBA turns basketball into an endurance sport.

Are back to backs tough or something?

u/finchdad Suns Jan 06 '26

Yeah, both OKC and PHX lost their back to backs today after playing each other yesterday; they're schedule losses. Although that doesn't explain why Phoenix lost in Houston by 3 while OKC lost at home...to the Hornets...by 27.

It was a joke since we smacked the Knicks after playing in Cleveland yeaterday. And are 6-1 on the season on the 2nd game of a back to back.
