It is not really that difficult to understand. The league plays 82 games and are reticent to shorten the season for fear of all the lost revenue. They are then faced with juggling the schedule against viewing competition from the NFL and MLB playoffs on one end, and the NBA finals on the other.
In the end, it is all about maximizing revenue.
