montster Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 one of the many reasons the nba has annoyed me is its playoff schedule. what is wrong with having playoff series where the teams play every other night? why is it that the suns/clippers have game 6 scheduled for thursday but the possible game 7 isn't until MONDAY? what happened to the weekend?

Big John Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 TV owns the schedule and saves the marquee players for the weekends. Any consquences to teams having schedules that make no sense such as long layovers for back-to back home games then a short travel time are not even considered.

Any consquences to teams having schedules that make no sense such as long layovers for back-to back home games then a short travel time are not even considered. 1473207[/snapback] i guess the nba is the only league where the two-time mvp is not a marquee player. if i wasn't so interested in watching the suns, i would so not care about this league. the pistons/cavs play friday and sunday. the mavs/spurs play friday and MONDAY. the heat/nets would've played thursday and sunday. and the suns/clippers play thursday and monday. is there something happening saturday that the nba doesn't want to go up against? seriously, i don't get it. it looks like a double-header would've occurred on sunday, but that's it. and now there's ONE game the ENTIRE WEEKEND. isn't the weekend when tv gets its highest ratings? this makes no sense.

Seahawks21 Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 Actually the ratings are up considerably. Do you have any idea how much money the NBA is making right now worldwide!?!?!?!? They want the playoffs to go on for like six months!!!!!! Just wait til someone like LeBron or Yao makes it to the finals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
