This is ridiculous - game 2 between Memphis and LA is Wednesday. How much time you need between games.

during the regular season the average rest between games was about 1.1 days. Back to backs are terrible for the players. 1 or 2 days between games is probably the best in order to get the players fully rested.

Of course, it isn't about the rest, it's for TV scheduling.

They need to make sure La-Cryer has his rest.

It's about the money no doubt. But it's really about the NBA being lazy. The NHL for the most part play every other day in the playoffs. And the NBA is not hockey.

this is true. The NBA is a popular TV product, the NHL is not.

The NBA has a TV contract that pays $2.4B per year. The NHL contract is $225M per year.

Lazy. Money. Lazy. In that order. The point is hockey doesn't need to wait for a better money day. That could do it even with the lower TV contact but they're not soft like well the NBA.

Wow.

Is Dae Dae green even eligible to play in the next game for the dubs?

Or is he automatically suspended one game?

why does it bother you so much that there are 2 days off vs one? Does it really matter?

Just my way and saying they're soft. I could care less.

The officiating in the Kings and warriors series has been different.. First two games of this series is like watching old school basketball from the Detroit, Boston, Laker era of the 1980?s all the physicality being allowed.

With that foot stomp, Draymond Green looked more like Ndamukong Suh than an NBA player.
