Good thing they'll have FOUR DAYS to lick their wounds and get over it before Game 2. The NBA's playoff scheduling sucks the way few things have ever sucked before- why must it take 18 days to play 7 games?

It seems to me it didn't used to be like this and that just a few years back that there was a much shorter interval between games. Must be selective memory.
