Sam Presti's thoughts on Achilles injuries juxtaposed with Adam Silver's comments last week The defensive nature of trying to convince people players and teams that there's no connection between the loads and the injuries I think we're kind of bordering on a level it's almost insulting

Sam Presti explains why he supports the anti-tank rules put forth by Adam SilverHe thinks it is a good thing it is only for 3 years as it makes it possible to go back from it if it doesn't work not remaining in the box

Adam Silver We've been addressing load management over the last several seasons Were down 30 this season in terms of single game absences by star players Its not even clear that load management works We have more injuries at the beginning and after All-Star break than late in the season

Sam Presti We hear all the time about things people don't like about the NBA which are inaccurate but they are narratives that exist on the alternative realityHe then continues to beautifully break down those narratives and show they aren't true Including narratives about SGA

Stephen A Smith You and I were both talking to commissioner Adam Silver before the game and he's highlighting like Look we know how this goes But damn it that happens every NBA Finals

Sam Presti If there is one thing I'm a little frustrated about besides not winning the final quarter of the season is I think we lost out on a lot of team development

Sam Presti It used 'you get up there you talk about your own team' Now everyone gets up there and they talk about the officials and they discredit the other team on SGA Hes playing against 6 people Hes got 5 defenders and the 6th defender is social media
