John Hollinger and Jeff McDonald per their twitters are reporting that the 2nd round series for the Spurs will have a back to back in games 3 and 4 unless the Clippers win tonight.
I feel we match up better with the clippers (not scared of grizz either) and the clips are battling a whole string of injuries so with that being said Go Clippers for tonight only...
Here are McDonald's tweets:

Like @johnhollinger, hearing Game 3 and 4 of Spurs' next series likely back-to-back unless LAC finishes MEM tonight.

If MEM-LAC goes 7, Game 1 for Spurs is Tuesday at 8:30; Game 2 is Thursday, also at 8:30.

I don't think it matters and the team seemed to play better with less rest winnning both back to back to backs and the 5 in 6 nights.
I'd rather see the Clips too. The Spurs can beat both teams, but Crack Handoff/Zach Randolph had a monster series last year against the Spurs. Bring on the Clips. Or bring on revenge. I'm ok with both.
Good, we'll sweep em faster.
Any other year that news would concern me. I find myself hoping for b2b in the playoffs.
The way they make the first round last so damn long, then rush the second round is so dumb.
Will the Denver-OKC series suffer the same fate?
yep, a compressed business-friendly season, but a super drawn-out first round.
I see what you did there...
If that happens right there you have a prove of how much the league disrespects the Spurs.
In 08 with a limping Ginobili coming out of a game 7 against the Hornets the league set the next PO matchup with a b2b in the first 2 games, basically killing any spurs chance to win at LA and making the rest LA had very usefull.
If there is a b2b in the next round series it should be the first two, giving the Spurs a great edge (beause of the rest and a tired opponent) as they did to them against LA.
Anyways i think the Clips will finish Memphis tonight.
Our opponent would be the one with the disadvantage , this is where our depth would be used to its fullest
If Clippers win in 7 and Lakers advance too, I don't really see the point of a b2b in games 3 and 4. Both LA teams can play game 4 on Sunday with one playing the afternoon and the other the evening but they can't play both their game 6 on the next Thursday.
b2b at home isnt quite the advantage for home team , is it ?
GO CLIPPERS!! Although I'd love to get revenge on Memphis from last year, I don't want any back to backs.
Go Clips! I hope Blake and Chris aren't too banged up. This is the only time I'll be rooting for the biggest flopper (CP3) in the NBA...
The deepest team in the league should welcome a B2B in the playoffs.
I could've sworn after the lockout they,said they were going to give ample breaks between playoff games on account of the crammed regular season. Any team playing a b2b in the playoffs is horse .
Who cares Sa sucks. Memphis and La where it at, oh and okc. sa in troubles
Not a big deal. Considering how they did even with b2b2b its not a big deal.
seems stern doesnt want spurs next round....fckn is any other team havin playoff b2b?
Exactly.
Who cares.
Spurs haven't played in rhythm for like a month. If this team gets gassed with a back to back now then you might as well put Duncan and the rest of the team in a retirement home.
