Why do the Warriors and Thunder get THREE DAYS OFF but Cavs play every other day?

[sfballa13]

Warriors and Thunder was on Wednesday

They dont play until SUNDAY

3 days rest

Yet the Cavs play every other day?

Looks like the NBA wants to give Curry all the rest he needs

More like straight up bullshitt to me

There's travel time and time zone changes to consider as well.

Cleveland to Toronto, 1 1/2 hr flight, and no time zone difference.

Oakland to Oklahoma City, 4 hr flight, and two time zones difference.

NBA trying to end the joke of an ECF early, and prolong the WCF so the Cavs are well rested going into the finals

Silver doing everything he can to prevent 2/7 :applause: :applause: :applause:

Actually it's the exact opposite

If Curry had to play every other day he wouldnt be as effective and in the end that would take a toll when he played in the Finals

I can understand the time difference and travel but you can give an extra day NOT TWO

Doesnt make sense and it's pretty shocking no one mentioned it

Uh... because the cavs essentially have a bye? Playing the Raps 4 days in a row is better than playing OKC once a week.

They could host Inside the NBA for 2:30hrs and get more ratings than that shit series.

Im getting pretty tired of all the talk of the Cavs facing lesser opponents

It's obvious that OKC is a million times better than the Raptors

BUT, Detroit/Atlanta had better records than Houston and Portland and beat both teams in the regular season. And before everyone talks more crap, the East was miles better than the West. So in actuality Houston and Portland wouldnt probably make the playoffs in the East or would be close to missing it.

Yet GS couldnt sweep them but the Cavs swept a tough Pistons team and one of the best perimeter defensive teams in the league in the Hawks

Im rooting for either OKC or Cleveland to win as a Pistons fan so all the PMs calling me a Lebron dick rider are rich

Look up previous posts trolling Lebron, im just telling it how it is which is:

- bullshitt that Cavs dont get an extra 3 days of rest

- Cavs faced better opponents and have yet to lose a game

Cavs won 2 games vs Golden State without Love and Kyrie, love how people forget that

You make some good points tbh... but I'm putting my money on Portland over Detroit and Atlanta. I mean that's irrelevant anyway, the gap between the Raptors and OKC is staggering. The conference finals means a lot more than the previous rounds and the Raptors are a joke. Maybe they will prove me wrong tomorrow, we'll see, but it's hardly been competitive.

And as for the bold, LeBron is an All Time Great. Only trolls forget how incredible his performance was. People like to troll that Iggy shut him down but he averaged 36/13/9... one of the greatest finals performances in NBA history... the only people who dispute this don't actually understand basketball. Even with Love already out and Kyrie leaving early in the series, as a Warriors fan, I never for a minute thought it'd be a sweep or an easy win.

Take the homer glasses off Portland is trash and got swept by both the Hawks and pistons THIS YEAR when they played.

People would slit their wrists if the eastern conference finals dragged on like it was OKC vs GSW.

They wanna get it over with because the network is losing money by having that bullshit on TV. Plain and simple.

If 2013 Kobe got iso'd every possession from ANY defender in today's league, he'd have better numbers than that (outside the rebounds). Says alot about those numbers.

To make up for Lebron having a cakewalk in the East.

[Mr. Jabbar]

vs raptors is considered off days bro..

[Im Still Ballin]

The Cavs opposition has looked so out of sync is because the Cavs are really good (Especially LeBron) at controlling the tempo of the game

[Sakkreth]

Because Raps are waiting for JV to heal.

You should worry about getting by OKC first, before making excuses for losing in the Finals.

[tpols]

Look up previous posts trolling Lebron, im just telling it how it is which is:

- bullshitt that Cavs dont get an extra 3 days of rest

The Cavs will get 10 days of rest inbetween the ECFs and the Finals. The warriors (or maybe OKC) will get 2-4 days in between WCFs and the Finals.


its much more valuable for the Cavs to have time off after the Raptor series than for them to have time off in between raptor games because it gives them that much more time to prepare for and watch their Final opponents.


What you're crying for would actually be a disservice to Cleveland.. so please.. stop w/ this whole charade.




- Cavs faced better opponents and have yet to lose a game




No they havent.. Detroit is better than Houston, Portland was better than Atlanta in the post season this year, and the Thunder are miles ahead of the raptors.. so as a whole the Cavaliers have not faced better opponents. you're flat out lying here.

stop that please.

[PWB15]

OP the Cavs are about to have 9 days off after sweeping the raptors on Monday so please shut the F*ck up

[oarabbus]

Your reasoning that Portland (who beasted in the playoffs) is trash is pointing to their regular season record? Wtf?
