Interesting, thanks for sharing this. Hopefully they'll make the change so that Round 2 games won't be starting while Round 1 is still happening.

They are really stretching that out. I don't think these guys need two days off between games played in the same city. Certainly when traveling between cities though.

I am not sure what this does to help the product

I understand the delays in the early rounds as they now want every single game on national TV.

But, there is really no reason to drag the FINALS out for so long.

Unless, there is a need to keep old man Lebron fresh (if the Cavs make it).

This is all about Lebron. If he did not cry about only having one off between game 2/3 and game 4/5 last year no changes would have been made
