Isn't part of playing on the road the requirement to stay in hotels, practice at the opponent's facility, and be away from home? The NBA playoffs are already feeling drug out after there were three days between the first two games of the Bulls-Heat first-round series. After Saturday's afternoon game the Heat hopped a plane to fly back to Miami--because they wanted to practice at their own facility and sleep in their own beds--and returned Tuesday in time for Game 2 in Chicago. Ridiculous. The NBA claims they need at least a couple days between games when they relocate cities so this situation has no excuse (as if extending the first round to best of seven wasn't bad enough). And they wonder why people gradually stop caring about the NBA playoffs...
(This kind of weak-ass schedule just reinforces my growing belief that baseball truly is a superior sport.)
