Basketball can be alot of fun but man is the nba a gong show....why so many 2 day breaks? Booo
The NHL has one in there too I believe(or are there 2 built in the schedule)
Baseball used to play everyday. Football used to have no bye week between conference championship week and the SB.
They coddle these guys so much but at the same time I think this fits into the predictable category. Its not like these pro leagues are all that real. They are predictable and even kind of scripted in my opinion. I'm not saying that games and outcomes individually or all are fixed or anything but sports is entertainment with a score. I mean guy for the Warriors makes the dirtiest basketball type play in basketball, no foul called, best player on the spurs leaves, series over. I'm not saying at all the NBA let an injury just happen but the spurs were a threat to the rematch that everyone wanted so badly.
You could even look at the NHL. I believe I heard they could have had the 12 and 16 seed play in the final. One from Canada and the south. Network nightmare for ratings. Sports is entertainment with a score. Now if the matchup isn't appealing they atleast have the villain for people to root against. Ratings are everything, its why there's so much funny money in sports now and joke contracts. Its why even the worst run teams actually turn profits in atleast the mlb and NFL.
