Just noticed that the Hawks and Warriors get a THREE NIGHT REST (don't play again til the 9th)

The Clippers vs Rockets and Cavs vs Bulls series never get more than a one day rest, unless of course it goes to 7 games. Then they are lucky to get a 2 days rest.


What the frick is this shite?

This thread is full of fail.. The finals began June 4th and cannot be changed. The 1st round ended earlier than expected so they had to adjust the schedule, thus making 1 day in the 2nd round with no games

doesn't explain why Hawks and Golden State get so much rest.

May 5th
Hawks and Golden state play

May 6th
Cavs and Clips play

May 7th
no games

May 8th
Cavs and Clips play AGAIN

May 9th
Hawks and Warriors finally play.


May 8th and May 9th games should be switched. Would give all 4 series 2 days rest. Instead, the #1 seeds get 3 days and the #2 seeds get one.

That's dumb.

They want the Cavs on Sunday.

The real answer:

Because they reserved this day in case either the Warriors/Grizzlies/Wizards/Hawks first round series went 7 games. If so, game 7 would have been played last Sunday, game 1 Tuesday, and game 2 today. But since neither of those series went 7, today is not needed to catch up. Instead, they started the series on Sunday. So in fact, they are avoiding longer layoffs by doing it this way.

Shaq needs a day to recover from his near-death experience.
