Why?

How is it that the Celtics are forced to play every other day, but in the other series there were longer breaks? The Lakers and Jazz had two days off twice, as did Detroit and Orlando, and NOH and SAS have had two days off twice and then a three day rest before Game 7? How does this work out? This team has played every other day since April 26th.

Because the 'Best team in the league' would never let an 8 seed take them to 7 games and since Detroit was vilified for losing to a lesser team last year they THOUGHT you would have handled them by now

I wondered about this too, whatever. It's not like they are playing back-to-backs

Because all the other teams one their first round series a lot quicker than we did I assume. We aslo were the last team to play our first game in the first round, which crowded the schedule even more.

during the first round we had 2 days breaks
