@matigo That happens in the NBA as well.
On the last game of the 8 city, 13 game stretch the Warriors had, there was a matchup with the San Antonio Spurs in San Antonio the day after a game in Minnesota. The Warriors rested their starters. So did San Antonio. Fans who showed up to see Steph Curry were pissed.
The NBA post-season is 4 7-game series. Could also be deemed excessive.
