My friend doesn't really watch sports but sometimes I tell him random basketball stuff anyway and I told him how they try to stretch out the finals as much as possible and how sundays are the big ratings day. So then he brought up a good question.
Why don't they just have a week between each game and a game on sunday. This stretches out the finals to potentially 7 weeks. And gives you more ratings because it's on sunday and it definitely hypes things up more. And rests the players and allows the coaches to strategizes more.

Exactly. I think they have too much of a break between games as it is. And that whole week off before the start of the series was awful. I found myself losing some of my excitement for the series, and I'm not exactly the casual viewer the NBA is trying to draw in.
