- not really far and away. in 2010 nba started april 17 and ended june 17. nhl playoffs started april 14 and concluded june 9....nm - x Oct 14, 08:48 4
  - It's more the spacing of the games in the NBA that's absurd - Will Hunting Oct 14, 08:51 3
    - yeah, they're all kind of absurd. tho i'm sure it all makes financial sense somehow....nm - x Oct 14, 08:55 2
      - Yeah, that's the justification they've used....which more power to em, but it just kills the sense of momentum. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 14, 08:56 1
        
        It may help them financially in the short term, but it seems like long-term stuff like this just hurts the sport. - Don Homer Oct 14, 09:04
- As bad as the NBA is, they at least keep on relatively the same schedule and pacing between games. - TFox Oct 14, 08:46 7
  - There ahve been times where they'll have 5 games series that take 2 weeks to finish. - Will Hunting Oct 14, 08:50 6
    - When did that ever happen? I'm not saying you're wrong, but I doubt it. -- nm - TFox Oct 14, 08:52 5
      - Boston/Chicago game 1 April 18th; game 7 was/would have been May 2 -- (link) - Beaker Oct 14, 08:56
      - I'm trying to find it.....seems last year's fun was just random 3 days off - Will Hunting Oct 14, 08:55 1
        
        Looking at the C's, their 5 game series went 2 days off, 2 off, 1 off, and 1 off. - TFox Oct 14, 08:57
      - The 1st round in the NBA takes forever, because unless baseball they won't play games in the afternoon -- nm - Strongbad Oct 14, 08:54 1
