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.

With the NHL signing with ESPN and TNT they have to go with the TV wants as noted by Joborule.
It seems broadcasters want game 7 on Sunday(NBA)/Monday(NHL).
NBA Finals will start June 5th a Thursday. They go Thursday-Sunday-Wednesday-Friday-Monday-Thursday-Sunday.
NHL will be Sat-Mon-Thurs-Sat-Tuesday-Friday-Monday(23rd).
It is designed to get media days in as well.
