What a momentum killer. What neutral fan is going to re-engage after that much time off, no matter how good the conference finals were.
I'm sure the players would rather just get it done. Two full days off after the conference final, then every 2nd day until it's over.
With this nonsense schedule, it's no wonder Carolina won last night. The last thing Florida wants is 2 weeks off.

This is by design by the broadcasters. Along with the games being on a specific date (as well avoid NBA conflict), they may want a little bit of time to breathe between the Conference finals and the Final to let the players rest to allow for better quality games. It's a grind up to that point for roughly 7 weeks.
Once the games begin, fans will reengage. It's not like it's 2 weeks like the Super Bowl.
