Better than 9:30PM start times! Jesus I think I almost got fired last round for being so late to work a few times
In addition to that, I believe this almost all but locks up a Finals schedule of...
Game 1 - June 12 (SA or OKC)
Game 2 - June 14 (SA or OKC)
Game 3 - June 17 (East winner)
Game 4 - June 19 (East winner)
Game 5 - June 21 (East winner)
Game 6 - June 24 (SA or OKC)
Game 7 - June 26 (SA or OKC)
The schedule is fine as far as the days between games. I just need this thing to start already! I'm having serious withdrawals. On top of everything else, my wife deleted the Spurs/Clips game 3 from the DVR so she could record Dancing with the Stars!!!
The locations are definitely correct. There's still a chance, if both conference finals end early-ish, the Finals could still be pushed up to June 10.
For instance, if both conference finals are wrapped up after 5 games somehow, the third round will be over on June 5 and a June 10 start would seem likely.
You're exactly right - that's the only way it moves up to June 10th is both series have to wrap up in 5 or less. Possible... sure. Likely... not so much. Should the Spurs advance, it would have been cool to go to a Finals game on Fathers Day, but no matter how the schedule falls, that won't happen as the game on the 17th is on the road no matter what (either Game 3 or 4).
I like how the NHL went to a Wed/Sat/Mon format to avoid overlap with the NBA finals in case the finals were to overlap this year. Don't know if it's good or bad (guess it's bad) for the NHL finals to overlap with the NBA conference finals as they'll be competing against basketball for most of it - well at least the first 4 games.
