      Agree Tony...this delay breaks a teams rhythm and can be detrimental to the balance of a winning mentality.

            These guys need a few days to recover from beating the hell out of each other.

              Hockey turn arounds have been twice as less time as the NBA and it’s 5x more grueling. I honestly wish baseball would keep the 1 game playoff but every series after that should be 7 games not that 5 game bullshit

                Seems weird considering hockey is the greatest sport known to man, I expect something like this in the NBA but not the NHL.

                  Really annoying. If you're series goes long that's your punishment for not finishing the job

                      Did you guess these teams to be in the final?

                                  Basketball is a summer game. There is some reason I forget now that they play during the winter

                                    as far as I know it's always been a winter sport. but I could be wrong

                                      I'm going to search it up. I think they used to play during the summer.

                                      You play basketball outside in the winter?

                                        It's in the rule book. Finals must start on a Monday.

                                            What I wonder is why they play football during the winter. It's a summer sport.

                                              Agree. That would have made a lot more sense.

                                                  maybe its because of the long weekend? That is the only thing that makes sense. Don't remember it taking this long to get started before.

                                                      Just using lakerlogic really. If basketball is a summer sport then football surely must be as well.
