because most people (those not in boston and LA with a routing interest in the game) don't watch TV during the day on Sunday in the summer. sunday afternoon game = lost revenue to the league. NBA is a business, not a public service. lots of research goes into when to play these games to maximize profits (i.e. notice there are no saturday night games in the finals).
Alot of people seam to be saying that the superbowl is early on sunday, so why can't the NBA finals? The Superbowl works ealy on Sunday because its more of an event and because its during the winter.
