Adam Silver Should Be Thrown In Jail For Tonight's NBA Playoff Schedule

What the fuck is this, Adam Silver? Do we not live in a society anymore? I get that the NBA didn't know how the matchups would play out or that the Heat and Lakers were both going to be up 3-1 heading into tonight. But did they have to stack four games in three hours like it's a regular season slate in the middle of February. If the NFL can talk about flexing regular season games to different days in a sport where it takes a full week for a body to recover from a game, why can't the NBA move games one day in the playoffs?

I have a hard enough time watching playoff basketball as a Knicks fan since my brain isn't used to caring in April (even though it was a given when I was growing up in the 90s). How am I supposed to stay focused on whatever chaos the Basketball Gods have in store for my soul while also seeing LeBron doing LeBron things in an elimination game along with whatever tomfoolery Dillon Brooks has planned. I know that the Knicks game starts a half hour earlier. But those games have been as drag'em out as you get in 2023, which will probably lead to these games ending around the same time.

As for the later slate, I can't watch a Warriors/Kings game by itself without feeling overwhelmed due to the offense that is thrown into my eyeballs and brain, so I sure as shit can't concentrate on that while Playoff Jimmy is trying to eliminate Giannis from the postseason all while my old ass is just trying to stay awake let alone compute what's happening. It's all simply too much.

Instead of staggering these games every hour or so, this has a chance to be like the old March Madness days where each pod of games started and ended around the same time but were on different channels. Granted it's only two games instead of four, we now live in a time where two TVs is the norm and only simpletons cannot watch two things at once. But it all just feels unnecessary considering this is what tomorrow night's slate looks like.

Yup, that's it. I know the NFL Draft will be on, but I don't think anyone would've complained if we had another NBA playoff game to burn the time in between picks that are usually spoiled on Twitter anyway.

I also have no problem admitting that this could end up being incredible with multiple endings all taking place far enough from each other for NBA Twitter to lose its mind four different times, which would mean Adam Silver should be thrown a parade instead of being thrown in jail. But I stand by what I said in the headline since negativity always plays according to The Sports Pope Mike Francesa. However I am going to bet all the underdogs to cover the spread tonight since it would lead to an all-time sports night and welcome you to join in!
