This is my only bitch about the playoffs. The time inbewteen games is absurd. David stern always blames it on his customers. I don't know why you can't just charge more for your product and make the same money. The need for every game to be on national television is ridiculious.

If you want to see every game buy the NBA package. The playoffs will take 2.5 months. I mean come on now.

AH!!! All at night too. I hate that. I liked the afternoon playoff games.

I guess it is good for the players though.

The days off between games is ridiculous as well.

I am just relieved they didnt make it a saturday afternoon game. I have my tickets for the playoff opener and the sunday night game is perfect for my work schedule.

Two things the NBA has done in recent years to ruin the playoffs are:

1) Extend the first round to 7 games (5 was better)

2) All that **** time in between games! There's no reason playoffs starting in mid-April should end in the **** end of June!

It's still 17 to 11!!!!

I actually like it in the first 2 rounds since I'm an NBA junkie anyway, But when it gets down to 4 teams its a little ridiculous..
