Seriously, why so much of a gap between games. I think it's great to be able to rest the players, but at the same time, it really kills the momentum. The players are going to be so jacked up between games. It's hard to stay hot with so much time between games.

I know this is a brand ploy by the NBA. They want to stretch it out as much as possible and make as much $$ as possible.

But seriously, come on NBA powers that be, stop making us wait. Let's the games beging and make it a jam packed spring of great hoops versus a leisurely stroll.
