Well, if it does make a difference to a significant amount of people, then who am I to argue.
After all, it's not like live games are even an option for me :P

not sure why having back to back games are any more 'intense' because there's nothing on the line unlike the playoffs where its win and advance?

My intuition says that players hate losing, and would cherish an opportunity to "get it back" against the same opponent if it was fresh in their minds, and any animosity built would be fresh in everyones minds.
Obviously that's basically just how I would feel in that situation.

at the end of the day, there is still a 'season series' whether those games are bunched or not.

Yeah, but right now season series' are kind of hard to keep track of.
Honestly, I basically have to check the situation in every series before posting about them. With the way the schedule is now, they all just become such a blur. And if you don't really remember the situation, they just matter less.
Which again is my biggest gripe, that the season schedule is basically just random. (That and too many games in the regular season, but that's unlikely to go down in a gate driven league unless they add playoff games.)
