Is the date already set, wether or not the ECF go 6 or 7 games?

Yes there is a solid bit of rest before game 1 of the Finals which is set for June 12 at this point. It could have been earlier if the conference finals had both been shorter series.

2 days if it goes 7, 4 days if the C's close out tomorrow in Boston.

NBA.com says 12 but could be moved up to 10

If it's 10th : 10-12, 15-17-19, 22-24

If it's 12th : 12-14, 17-19-21, 24-26

Great to hear, here's to hoping for a close out tomorrow and a Spurs win tonight.

A couple of things here:

1) The NBA won't move it up, even if both the OKC and the Celtics win in 6 games. In '11 the Heat had 5 days off and the Mavs had 6 days off before the Finals.  In '08 the Celtics had 6 days off and the Lakers had 7 days off before the Finals.  The League does not change the Finals schedule once it sets it.

2)  The NBA will only play Finals games on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays.  It's been that way for the last 10 years, so you're proposed schedule for starting on June 10th wouldn't work.
