Anyone know the reason that the Washington/ATL and GS/Memphis series get extra days off in the middle of their rounds while Clev/Chi and our series doesn't? I'm not calling conspiracy or anything. Just think it's strange that they'll get 3 full days off when the other 2 do only get the one. I don't think there was anything on tv last night so important that they couldn't have maintained the schedule...especially when Thursdays are typically the marquee night during the regular season.
It is potentially related to the Chicago Blackhawks. They would have had a home game Saturday night if they hadn't swept the Wild. Alternatively, if you're into conspiracies, the NBA may prefer the Cavaliers/Bulls as a Sunday NBC game.
