how come nba playoff games are so spread out? do they play a game every 2 days?

nets - celtics on the 17th, 20th , 23 , and now the 25th .

i understand a day off for travel , but why they aint playing today?
Because 4 games are on today and they don't do back to backs.

Also, it's the TV schedule. If they can air games without any other conflicts, they will.

League wanted to give the Nets time to get Simmons back on the court.

Why should the MVP award only look at offensive contribution? When really if you put defensive and offensive contribution together there’s no way Giannis shouldn’t be MVP


I'm not sure the gap between them in actual defensive performance this year was as large as you think. Giannis coasted on defense much of the year while Jokic is a pretty decent team defender. Did you notice that the Nuggets and the Bucks finished with the same defensive rating despite Giannis being surrounded by a really solid defensive lineup while Jokic's defensive help was average at best?

Are there more G-League / obscurity stories in these playoffs than in recent memory?

There might be a guy or two for every series, that was a 2nd rounder or undrafted or G-Leaguer.

All the injuries made people go into their scouting bags more.

Even then though, you need the right coaching and system to make them flourish and get confidence in themselves.

It shouldn't have taken injuries to make teams do that considering the benefits we've seen over the years the benefits of having depth and guys that can soak up minutes during the regular reason.
