I can see why there is concern for this to become a problem in the short term for basically anyone trying to enjoy the NBA. But I think if coaches respond in a way that makes Q tags more annoying, then the NBA will be forced to fix that too. It might not have been the best way to respond because coaches might try to get clever, but it is nice to see the executives of the NBA try to do something. The NBA really should be able to tell if someone can play or not a few hours before the game starts. Because if the player isn't close enough by then, well... you're risking their health by forcing them to play. And we've seen how that has worked out with Fultz. Plus at least that couple hours of buffer time will allow fans know if they want to buy same day tickets without being disappointed. Which is actually better for the NBA than trying to trick people into buying tickets just to be disappointed.
canary in the coalmine, this is pretty brutal.

Ain’t no way LeBron is letting Mark Jackson coach the lakers after he said he’d hit his wife out the park with all due respect
Great even harder to win in fantasy now or play unlikely line ups and hope back ups play...ughhh
All these Q tag reasons are nonsense anyway. It's mostly about rest. If not then NBA players are injured at a higher rate than Navy Seals
