I know it is the NBA maximizing the weekend window, but I do not like how the winner of the Bos-Orl series gets an extra day before the start of the ECF, unlike the previous series. And not sure why they are giving them another day before their current Game 7 either.
One of the benefits we are supposed to get for finishing early is to get our oppenent at a disadvantage if they go the distance.

I think the reason that Orlando has an extra day off is because the NBA doesn’t want the Eastern and Western Conference Finals on the same day, so they made one series start on Tuesday and one on Wednesday. It just helps Orlando that we’re the later series.

I'am not sure it matters all that much.
Sure, I’d like to see Orlando travel to Cleveland today and have to play tommorrow. But both teams are going to give each other their best shot no matter when the ball gets tossed.

and my problem with the schedule so far this playoff season has been personal. My son’s little league plays under the lights which is otherwise really cool. But in the Cavs 8 playoff games so far he has had games 4 of those times.
This week he has two7:30 PM games, tonight and Wednesday! Dang the luck!

oh i know that Brad, I just think by virtue of having the best record, we should have been provided the opportunity to have the Tue start rather than the Wed start.
Besides, I bet LA would have liked to have that extra day since they went 7 as well.
