JUNE 10, 2025 -- They are NOT playing NBA basketball again tonight. I know they will get around to resuming the 1-1 Finals series one of these days. Maybe tomorrow night? We shall see.
The manner in which the NBA schedules its Finals – two days off between the first two games, two days off between everything that might get played after Game 4, reminds me of what a lot of people think Thoroughbred horse racing should do
with the Triple Crown – spread it out more, so that trainers will be more inclined to run their horses in the Preakness and Belmont Stakes. It’s extremely ridiculous when the number of starters in the Preakness and Belmont combined (17) are fewer
than in the Kentucky Derby (20), is it not?
But I could care less what they do, because the Triple Crown is a trivial joke – somebody threw three random races together at jumbled distances at different tracks, for horses that aren’t fully developed yet, and it became a thing. The horses were
once sound enough to run about 15-20 times before the Triple Crown. You knew who they were, and they’d stick around for their 4- and 5-year-old seasons. Now, they’re so unsound they’ll run only three or four times before the Triple Crown, two
or three times after it, then get retired. Seriously, who needs this? The sport thinks it does. It doesn’t. Maybe it needs it as a business. Whatever. But they cannot fool me. MORE
