Spurs & Hornets played THURSDAY - and they don't play until MONDAY

Celtics & Cavs played YESTERDAY - and then they play TOMORROW

Lakers & Utah played on FRIDAY - and then they were going to play on MONDAY

are they intentionally trying to avoid most the weekend?

seems more people would be around to watch

I work nights and miss the weekday games but obviously that's my problem

you'd just think they'd arrange it better.... 2 of the potential 7 games of the next Lakers series are on the weekends

I don't know but today fuckin sucked. I hate it when I have playoff fever and then there's a day with NO games.

that's what set me off

I couldn't believe the Spurs game wasn't on today

who's the genius behind that? Thursday game... then a Monday game... just stupid

yeah the schedule sucks hard .. why the fuck Celtics- Cavs ain't at 1.PM then Hornets- SAS at 3.30 p.m today...

it would have made way more sense ... a Game 7 a Monday later in the evening , the day you still tired from the week end and the 1st day of work , fuck out of here

They are probably trying to help them old ass Spurs by giving them some days off for no real reason

^It seems like less money would be generated off of this method. I guess they know what they're doing, though. I guess they wanted to nationally broadcast Cavs-Celtics on local television because LeBron is playing in a Game 7. Then they figured that ratings peak around the time people come home from work, so they televise Hornets-Spurs around that time on TNT... I think they shoulda' had the Hornets-Spurs yesterday, but definitely not both games on the same day. A lot of casual basketball fans wont watch two games in one day.
