Why are 2 of the games on the same day? If you're attending one game it means you miss most of the other one.

There have been multiple TV double headers literally every week.

Is this a joke?
Why do they need 2 weeks?

Wow Perth get max rest time before Game 1 AND Game 2!

The Adelaide-Perth series also gets the old fashioned Game 2 & 3 on the same weekend. Nice, old school baby!

Also if Utd win their semi-final in two games they will be cold after a whole week off twiddling their thumbs. Interesting.

Understandable that the NBL didn't factor in United winning in a playoff series

Prather's defence is a bit of a concern. He isn't as solid as you'd think. Needs to not think 'score'. Shoot 10 shots max per game.

The two-week break will be good for Ware too, he's 4/27 3pt over his last 6 games. He can work out the kinks

Spark Arena is unavailable 4th, and 6th-10th of March.

Monday 5th is literally the only day they could've had Game 2.

If Breakers had finished top 2, they would've had to have Game 1 at North Shore. (Unless they delayed Game 1 til Monday).

I'm glad something explains the bizarre fixture.

Still, glad to hear about Thursday March 15! I had been worried about the Game 1 date.....

sour grapes lynx fan detected. sorry but no fixture exists that prevents a team from choking in the playoffs. if you can't win away and also can't win at home then bad luck.

I realise there have been double headers during the season but when there's only 2 games I would have thought it would make sense to have them on different days - fri/sat or sat/sun.

Do the 1st 2 games overlap at all?
