Why wait until Thursday? And why start the finals on a Thursday??

Do we really need a six day layoff for the Finals to start? And why not wait one more night and have it on a Friday night and then come back on Sunday. NBA schedulers are all messed up!

    This is totally ridiculous! The only reason they will start on Thursday because of those idiots at TNT, Thursday is their basketball night on television. I hope next year they can strip the NBA contract away from TNT and make more games on the weekends like the old days!

    Why would you want to cancel based on a forecast? And if you do cancel, unless you purchased a full fare ticket (highly doubtful) you'll lose your money. The best you can hope for is credit (minus fees) towards a future flight. Unless you know something everyone else doesn't, I would wait until the airlines cancel or delay the flight.

    well lets see, what happened if the two series went into a game seven?!!!! then the celtics-pistons series would be over on sunday, and the lakers-spurs on saturday(today) then the away team has to have a days rest, travel, and have a practice, before media day.
