Dear Mr. Stern,

82 games and playoffs .. that´s a season from november to may ... give us at least 18 more games a season, that´s one month more, here´s a short list of advantages that would come along.

- at least 5 more home games for each team, that´s more earnings for each team, and the remaining games could be played overseas (like in munich Mavericks vs. Kings) for marketing reasons
- shorter off-season: fans don´t get bored to hell, and players won´t spent as much time fighting legal issues (thus destroying the image of the nba by bad reputation)
- more injuries to the superstars: more playing time for second tier guys, so more hustling and the chances that the non-injured superstars can kick ass vs. the second tiers, and since insurany companies will have to share some of the money, it could help the teams to lessen their expenses
- more rivalry games, if you add some knicks-heat or lakers-kings games
- if you break down the "penalty-per-game" money the nba is collecting (total amount of fees divided by the number of games played would give you a solid number of extra money by this misbehaviour, since some of those fee´s are stackable the increase would extent the percentual increase of games

So PLEASE - 5 months off season is BORING. Change it!

For the love of the mo... uhmmm ... GAME ...
