Why do NBA western conference playoff games begin so late?
Like this day for the Lakers-Phoenix game 1, it starts at 9:00 pm eastern time, WTF? Why do not they begin it earlier like 5:00 or something. Maybe this is one of the reasons why the NFL and MLB has superior ratings and more views watching their playoff games. Instead of watching NBA playoff games at 9:00 pm eastern time, people are probably sleeping or going out having fun like watching movies, night clubs, etc.

Why do in early NBA games only affordable players play and in the late games the costly ones?
The early games in the NBA usually have only a hand full of good players on the field and the late games got all the good players. Why is that? Doesn’t each game count? What about the preseason? Do those games count?
Thanks experts.

Answer by brother_lu
preseason is like real life practice. it’s to practice against real opponents and figure out which players will stay on the roster and also who might be a starter. no the early games do not count, but they are still very important to the teams, they do not want to risk their stars getting hurt, so you only see them for a few minutes in preseason games
