NBA playoff scheduling...

Okay, I know the Pistons played Game 1 against the Bulls today (and won). But I'm flipping through sports news and I notice that Utah and Houston are playing their Round 1, Game 7 game tonight. Is that a normal occurence? Obviously, since they're in the Western Conference, it doesn't affect the lineups in the East, but I'm so used to the NHL where the next round doesn't start until all the Round 1 games have been played.

That's just bizarre, but I only say that because I'm used to the NHL system. I suppose it doesn't really matter once it comes down to the Conference Finals and the Finals, since there's no possibility of those overlapping. :P

this is a huge problem that the NBA has. They claim this happens because of TV schedules, but the biggest problem is they don't reseed teams after each round like the other sports do. This year is a perfect example of the problem. Dallas was best team in west record wise followed by Phoenix and San Antontio. Dallas got knocked off in 1st round but the Suns and Spurs advanced....so they play each other in round 2 making the Western Conference Finals meaningless. At least the NHL has it right in setting it up to make the two best teams in the conference on collison course like the Wings & Ducks have been.
