Warriors' Steve Kerr has little faith in NBA owners to shorten season

While Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr has never been afraid of speaking up for what he believes in, he’s essentially admitted defeat on one of his biggest opinions: shortening the length of the NBA regular season.

Kerr was the central figure in a story published by The Athletic on Sunday, the final day of the 82-game season. The league has played 82 games in all non-shortened regular seasons since 1967-68. Kerr is skeptical that the league will ever do what he wants, though, and seems to effectively blame capitalism for it.

“We should be playing fewer games,” Kerr said.
