by DMtShooter, Five Tool Tool

11. Media needs time to work out Rambis-McHale, Bryant-Allen, Auerbach-Jackson and Douchebag Fan - Douchebag Fan rivalries

10. No one could have forseen the Conference Finals ending in five and six games, even though that's what usually happens

9. Gives national advertisers more time to try to make the audience forget about Kobe Bryant's (alleged) wacky anal raping shenanigans

8. Doc Rivers requested the time to figure out just how he's going to outsmart Phil Jackson

7. Most NBA fans still in "House of Payne / The Closer / Saving Grace / Bill Engvald" detox

6. Many fans of the Lakers and Celtics longtime rivals (Spurs, Pistons, Sixers, Rockets, etc.) need time to be educated about how all of their playoffs against either team were meaningless in comparison to this rivalry

5. Timberwolf and Grizzly fans haven't had enough time for the salt to sit in the wounds over the Garnett and Gasol "trades"

4. The longer they wait, the less time that the country will have only baseball to distract it from the start of football season

3. Don't think of it as six days between games -- think of it as just the first of many, many, many commercial breaks

2. David Stern requires this time to go to each and every Seattle Supersonics fan's house to deliver a flaming bag of feces

1. Just want to make sure that both teams are rusty as hell for Game One, and that bench depth matters not at all
