NBA - This unique scheduling situation (extra time off) so that the Western Conference Finals could catch up with the Eastern Conference Finals in terms of games played absolutely favors Boston. You know without a doubt that the Heat would have loved to play Monday and get a chance to get right back on track in this series after losing on Saturday. However, now extra time off has been afforded to a Celtics team that has responded to get back into the series.
