Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Sunday?

We play again on Sunday either against the Suns (game 7) or against a fresh Jazz team, which could yield a loss after all the emotion and games we expended and the compressed schedule.

:wtf

ABC/ESPN needs to televise a game on Sunday regardless of who wins game 6.

If we're starting a new series, we should be given time to recover from the last series.

Jazz got a more favorable playoff schedule by sheer luck (not like they were seeded better).

They didn't have to play any team seeded better than 5 (Rockets were 5th seed, but had homecourt advantage).

This probably throws away our homecourt advantage against the Jazz.

Game 1 or Game 2 could be a loss, mainly due to schedule.

But it will be the WCF and that may be enough motivation to help us grit out these first two games against a physical, tough Jazz team.

If Spurs and Nets win today, I don't think the WCF will start on sunday.

SA WNBA team has games at home the 23rd and 25th, Detroit WNBA team has a game at home the 22nd.

IMO, the schedule will be :

If Spurs and Cavs win tonight :
WCF : game 1 : 20th, game 2 : 22nd.
ECF : game 1 : 21st, game 2 : 23rd.

If Spurs and nets win tonight :
WCF : game 1 : 21st or 22nd, game 2 : 24th
ECF : game 1 : 23rd, game 2 : 25th.

If Spurs lose tonight and win game 7 :
WCF : game 1 : 22nd and game 2 :24th.
ECF : 21st and 23rd or 23rd and 25th.

Had the Spurs not given away game four, the Spurs would have gotten some rest.

The Jazz went seven games with the Rockets and only got one day rest before starting their series with the Warriors.

It boils down to win early and reap the rewards of rest.

I prefer 4 games in 7 days to the 1 game in 7 days or whatever that we saw at the start of the series.

Would you like some cheese with that whine?
