Someone please explain NBA playoff schedule

Okay, I understand, the NBA wanted its biggest draw (LeBron) and its most historic and winning franchise (the Celtics) for a Game 7 on Sunday - and it was a classic.

But why have the Celts played two games since the Hornets last played? Why did the Hornets and Spurs get three full days off? After having three days off, why will the Hornets or Spurs be forced to rush to L.A. to play Wednesday after what figures to be a draining Game 7.<...

Who says it's too early to start toasting the playoff's top players? Certainly not ESPN's John Hollinger who has a couple of Hornets up for awards.

One thing Hollinger does question is why David West was still in the game to get injured when the Hornets were down 21 in the fourth quarter, he had a back back and hadn't been effe...

CBS Sportsline: Hornets choked; Paul a flop

Wow! Gregg Doyel absolutely savages the Hornets in this rip piece. Come on now, the Hornets aren't exactly playing against chopped liver, I mean the Spurs had the same number of wins as the Hornets this year and are the defending champs.

Doyel correctly points out that the Hornets blew their cool and that Scott rolled the dice by playing Paul, Chandler and West for almost all of the ...

Stephen A. Smith says the Hornets' struggles at San Antonio are understandable, because of their lack of experience, and perhaps the idea in the back of their mind that they have a home game left to win it.

Smith does think the younger, more athletic Hornets can't be had in Game 7 by the Spurs in New Orleans.
