Game 1 of the Semifinals

[Elizah Huge]

Phoenix and Denver just closed both of their series out last night. Game 1 is scheduled on Monday for them. I think if Dallas wins tonight it is logical to think that we would play Game 1 on Monday at the earliest and Tuesday at the latest. I know some were worried we may play on Sunday but I don’t think that’s the case. I think we may be starting on Tuesday regardless of what happens tonight and Monday at the earliest.

I thought it was already set in stone if Dallas wins tonight we play Sunday at 1:30

Is that confirmed? Why would we play a day earlier than the Suns/Nuggets if the Mavs played a day later than them?

National television scheduling.

Well that is terrible.

Follow the money.

Plus it's a home game in Utah so playing on Sunday makes even less sense

Game 1 against the Grizzlies was Sunday.

Yeah and if it were on Saturday, we would have won because Mitchell wasn't on the injury report that day.

Doesn't really matter since it will be a packed house regardless

Here's how I would have handled the phone interaction with the league on this if I'm Utah's FO:

Dennis Lindsey/Justin Fanik - "Hey Adam, out of all of the fast food restaurants, do you like Wendy's?"
Adam Silver - "Wendy's?"
DL/JF - "Wendy's nutz drag across yo' face lolz." *hang up*

10 ****ing pm on Tuesday? Seriously? Unreal. Just have it at 9:30pm. I’m too old for that ****.

Agreed. Still don't think that the jazz or the nba should/do prefer Utah home games on Sundays.

Might get a few more tv viewers on a different day though.

It's impressive the Nuggets beat the Blazers without Murray. I give them props for that.

Personally I like the schedule better with Dallas taking care of business tonight. You sit Conley Sunday, bring him back Tuesday two days later then he rests till Saturday.

If Dallas wins, that’s a very fast turnaround for them to travel to SLC and play again. Would hopefully help us out immensely in G1.

Oh well. I guarantee you there will be a home Sunday game for the NBA Finals if the Jazz make it.

There's not going to be any moment where the NBA ever gives Utah that level of leeway with Sunday home playoff games.

Forgive my ignorance, what's the issue about Jazz games on Sunday? LDS related stuff?
