re: Can someone explain the NBA scheduling of playoff games?

When they made the 2nd round schedule, Spurs/Griz had a chance to go to 7. Thursday was reserved for game 2 of WCSF. They did not schedule a game 3 the same day as a game 2. In order to keep the timeslots they wanted, one WC and one EC game need to be played each day. They figured they'd just keep the games on the same day rather than switching it to Heat/Celtics, Mavs/Lakers today.

Call it stupid, but that's the logic behind it in my estimation.
