The NBA, and many fans (including me), got what they wanted -- a Los Angeles-Boston finals. Talking to Crestview athletic director Dave Bowen, a highlight of Magic-Bird had already surfaced on ESPN by Saturday morning. Didn't waste much time.
Now, all we have to do is wait until Thursday. (I guess it's a good thing there are so many highlights to show) Which makes absolutely no sense. The latest these series were going to be done was Sunday, still giving teams three full days of rest. And, more importantly, giving fans and casual observers three full days to cool on the experience.
Why not strike while the iron is hot? After quite a few years in the dumper, I believe the NBA is on its way back. The interest is back. People are appreciating the improved product on the floor. And we have to twidle our thumbs and find other things to take away our interest.
The league would have been better off starting the shindig Tuesday ... even Wednesday would have been better. But not Thursday. Too much time.
