Quote:One thing about the injuries is that those who want to end preseason games use that as an argument for not having them.


That's not a logical argument, as many of these injuries (including the most severe season ending ones) happened in practice.


I understand the arguments for not having preseason games and agree with a lot of the reasons for not having them.


But I can't agree with the injury excuse.


One could argue the injuries (and the perceived or real increase in them - not sure as I haven't seen numbers) are more likely due to the new CBA and practice rules. Lighter/fewer workouts, etc.
