The NBA has finally started to use the Premier League’s final day scheduling, which is nice.
In the EPL, and in many other leagues, the final day of season has every team playing at the exact same time. This avoids any funny business and gives everyone a sense of desperation if they’re fighting for the top spot, a spot in Europe, or trying to avoid relegation. It adds some serious drama that is difficult to replicate.
The NBA used to just schedule the final day of the regular season like any other day. That usually screwed the Rockets over in some way, and today that trend kind of continues.
