    The two things I dislike are that we are always the last team to play and all the games start at 7:30....wtf

    I'm fine with it...it's spring in Oregon..I actually have sunburned feet for the first time in a year...as the playoffs wind down..so does the season. It's actually working out in my favor and I've enjoyed the breaks between games..I think the time off should contribute to better basketball in the end

    Yes, TV decides frequency of games. As the number of series still continuing decreases, the duration between each game in a series decreases.

    What's the reason? We've had 4 (now 6) days off and those two games were real stinkers.

    Or I just missed something completely in that sentence of "I think the time off should contribute to better basketball in the end"

    well, we lost...if it helped anyone it helped the team that won. I think you missed my point but I get that a lot..I don't think playing a quicker schedule is better. Ask any player who's injured...I'm sure Curry wants the time off when he can get it. Less jetlag...just makes sense to me.

    Another thing to remember about scheduling is that there were hockey games in LA and our series had to be scheduled around them.
