FORGOTTEN HISTORY: Aaron gordon thinks there should be more time between games during the nba playoffs | History Defined

Aaron Gordon weighs in on NBA playoff schedule. | NBA

The Denver Nuggets were unable to mount much of a resistance in Game 7 of their Western Conference semifinals series against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday night, falling 125-93 and into elimination. There's an argument to be made that the victorious side is simply deeper and more well-rounded than Denver—Nikola Jokic, for one, would agree. Aaron Gordon identified one way in which his team could have been better suited to knock off the No. 1 seed during his postgame commentary and it bucked the conventional wisdom that the NBA playoffs are too spaced out. The Nuggets forward thinks there should actually be more time in-between games.

"I would really, really appreciate it if there were a couple of days off in-between games in the playoffs," Gordon said. "Just to give all these professional athletes one more day of rest and you would see a higher level of basketball."
