    It was predetermined a long time ago. NBA got insane ratings with Game 7 falling on a Sunday night last year. They're hoping to replicate that (or do better).

    Yeah... if the series goes 7...

    June 1st to June 18th Ridiculous

    And way too many 2 full day rest periods.

    Crazy.



    For instance Game 4 is played on June 9th... but Game 7 is on June 18th. Way too many rest days. Probably gives time for Vegas to give the NBA a call... and let em know which way they want the series to go.

    They might as well take a week off between each game.

    So people have to wait a week just in case it goes 7?

    The hardcore fans will always watch no matter what. The arena will always be full. The gamblers will still bet. The reporters will still write about the games. The networks will still send checks to Adam Silver.

    The extra rest is built in assuming these guys play more like 19 or 20 games than 12 or 13 to get to this point. They could have started this Sunday and ended it June 11 very easily.

    It favors the nba executives who get filthier off of the increasing bid prices advertisers pay.

    The longer layoff time builds up the hype via media outlets which in turn makes the ad space overpriced and desirable, saturating the market with high demand

    Game 1 probably comes down to which team can kick the rust off the fastest.

    Circumstances. If the NBA WAS 100% rigged to make the most $$$, EVERY SERIES WOULD GO TO 7 games wouldn't it?

    The new generation athlete for the most part is a pussy now, they've been spoiled since high school


    Everyone's more interested in being friends with opposing players


    NFL football is still brutal trying to kill each other on every play
