There is no reason that games 6 and 7 should be played on consecutive days. Especially since travel is involved. Garage league.

There is a funny thing with the schedule of the NBA playoff series between Detroit and Philadelphia. Games 3 and 4 will be played in Philly, and are scheduled for back-to-back nights. The reason they can't have a day off between games 3 and 4 is because the arena has a WWE wrestling event scheduled for that day! Talk about garage league.

I'm glad game 7 is tonight. I could care less if its back to back. I've never been one to be concerned over a professional athletes creature comforts. I'll be in a room 70 degrees on a recliner sipping diet coke or root beer.

Arenas do have the right to other events, as playoff games are never guaranteed. And the league may insert days or remove them for TV (the Saturday day games on ABC).

But there is a vast difference between playing games 3 and 4 consecutively and scheduling 6 and 7 that way.

(Hmmm. Maybe they're "gambling" that game 7 won't be necessary.)
