    That makes no sense. First the NBA skips saturday with nothing on TV to go head to head with the hawks flyers at the exact same time. Why do they need 2 days off? Then there is only one day off to travel coast to coast? Stern is a ****ing idiot.

              2dabank thats originally what I was thinking but I thought they would do a matinee and do 4 oclock and leave the hockey game at night. Just makes no sense. Is there 2 days off between all 3 of these beantown games?

                  yea i was surprised it didnt start a little earlier(dont think they to worried bout hockey stealing to much of the ratings) guess whether it Sunday night or afternoon still more viewers than Saturday night...pretty sure just one day off until game 4 then 2 days off before game 5 to be back on Sunday again then only 1 day off on travel day back to La for game 6....

                    dude you would be so much more fun to get into it with if you were any good at it. You are terrible at your little schtick you bring to this forum.

                    Funny how 2dabank who lost points to me on the marquette game doesnt say anything and u who didnt lose any say something....i wonder why that is, oh its because he has been paid.

                      I heard the one other time the cup went up against the nba finals the cup won for the first time in FOREVER. Any truth to that?

                                        I really believe that while in Boston they should play 3 straight days, but the obvious reason for not doing so is to milk the revenue for the NBA and town. Lots of people in town for big games need food, room, favorite team clothing, souvenirs, drink, etc........

                                        Revenue trumps all else, but it'd be nice to put the teams to test just like the regular season and let them deal with the elements of the back 2 back 2 back games when in one city.

                                        I see the reasons for doing it the way they do.

                                        Milk it for all you can get from those who are dedicated fans wanting to be at the games, although it isn't necessarily the die hard fans in attendance. Truth known, the REAL fans cannot afford to be there.

                                        Like the people who fill luxury boxes at MLB and NFL. It's a social event more so than people really being there to enjoy the game.

                                              All the advantages are for the celtics. They have no excuse to lose. THere old asses got 2 days off in between game 1 and 2 ruining anything the lakers built in game 1 and now there is only 1 day off from the last game hurting the lakers more as the celts still have momentum from game 2. This series is Bostons to lose and see no reason why the shouldnt win the series now.

                                                  Laker it wouldnt have mattered if they played on saturday. You guys dont show up on defense EVERY GAME. You don't. Its west coast basketball. It wont work when there is a good defensive east team around.
