Open Memo to the NBA

I just don't understand what they're doing in the NBA. I am a basketball fan who wants to watch these games. But, I also have two kids and a full-time job. I can't exactly stay up until 1 a.m. on a Wednesday night. One of the most compelling series out there is San Antonio-New Orleans. I want to watch this series. I really do. But, at halftime of last night's game, it was already 10:30. The Spurs ended up winning and forcing a Game 7. Sweet, I thought. That game will surely be this weekend when I can watch it. Nope. It's not tonight. Not tomorrow. Not even the Sunday matinee. Instead, that series is taking three days off so that it can be when? Monday night, likely at 9 or 10 p.m. I guess I'll get to see the first half of that one too. Super.
