I knew that was going to be a reason..I was going to say besides that.

They should play all home games B2B and one day off between the road. In comparison to the NHL playoffs, this feels like I'm watching little pampered brats.

i happen to like the 5 game format better myself. i feel you get a better series.

I voted five. Seven would be fine if there wasn't 3 days in between games.

Think about the extra $ an extra game or two makes the NBA? TONS!!!

It is all a business and that is why it is 7. We all know the 1st round should be
best of 5.

You can't really expect the numbers 1 and 2 to be at playoff intensity for 7 games against the numbers 8 and 7. I would like the first round to be best of 3, second round best of 5, 3rd round best of 7, and Finals best of 7 or 9.

Hey imgv94, I thought you just said in the other thread that you agree with me on everything! hahaha

I honestly don't give a rats @ss. I'm not a fan of the NBA. I don't have a favorite team, and didn't even watch the Finals last year. Not a single second of it. It was a personal protest against how much the NBA sucks in general. If I'm going to quibble about the NBA, arguing 5 v.s. 7 would be way down the list.

BTW: I'm getting completely slaughtered in the voting so far!

I always knew I was right and the rest of the world was wrong. Here my proof!
