Schedule is fine. Don't forget that it's a very light series when it comes to travel.
Exactly. The NBA's scheduling these playoffs has been awful. It's pathetic they can't space the games out more at this level. Stern.. smh

Anyone got a historical perspective on whether or not similar has ever taken place?
Both days off between series (6) and the every-other-day bullcrap.
What a bunch of whiners. This is the exact same schedule the NBA ran with last year at this point. They had it so the East and West alternated.
ECF will be Saturday, Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday.
Or start Monday, and go Wednesday, Friday, Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday.
Agreed. I actually like them keeping at a day in between each game. I think it will help keep the team in rhythm.
They're gonna have 6 days off.
One day off in between games when travel is what, an hour flight? Please.
Without at least one extra day of rest thrown in there, the Thunder probably gain a slight advantage as the series advances. That said, if the Spurs can have a strong start to the series, the lack of time for the Thunder to adjust could work in their favor.
Better recharge those batteries to 100% before Sunday though.
if we lose it damn sure won't be because of lack of rest
this helps us, thunder wont be able or have enough hrs to watch gay porn to adjust
The start of the conference finals is already fairly set so that they are not going to start the West early just because both teams are done. The East has a ways to go- at least until Thursday or possibly Saturday.
Too late
Dont know if we'll ever be this good...Gotta be there to witness
There is a bad misconception that our team is so old and brittle that we cant handle a week of games. idk
I think the schedule is OK, but yeah an extra day of rest between a possible Game 5 and 6 or Game 6 and 7 would've been better, but oh well....
Well, the Spurs still do get a week of rest. And San Antonio and Oklahoma City aren't that far apart in traveling distance.
Schedule is fine, I like the regularity of having exactly 48 hours of rest between all the games. There's no 3-day rest BS to take a team off its rhythm or allow a lightly injured player to come back, nor stuipd b2bs.
and I thought game one was on June 6 http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/playoffs...efinals/sasokc
Wow Yahoo fail...
It's like that for a while. I just don't understand all those extra days off in round 1 and then every other day in conference finals. Well, I know: ESPN and TNTGame 1 SUNDAY @ SA 7:30 PM CT
Game 2 TUESDAY @ SA 8:00 PM CT
Game 3 THURSDAY @ OKC 8:00 PM CT
Game 4 SATURDAY @ OKC 7:30 PM CT
Game 5 MONDAY @ SA 8:00 PM *
Game 6 WEDNESDAY @ OKC 8:00 PM *
Game 7 FRIDAY @ SA 8:00 PM *
No extra day a rest anywhere?
As far as the series scheduling goes, this is pretty much the way things always are -- the conference finals are staggered on alternating days.
Last year, the Mavs and Thunder played on May 17, 19, 21, 23, 25.
In 2010, when the Lakers and Suns both swept their conference semifinals, the West finals started a week after the Lakers finished their sweep; the league did build in a break between Games 2 and 3. Then again, Game 2 was on May 19 and game 3 was on May 23.
In 2009, the conference finals were staggered just like this schedule will play out. The Lakers and Nuggets played on May 19, 21, 23, 25, 27, and 29; the Cavs and Magic played on May 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, and 30.
In 2008, the conference finals were staggered like this. The Celtics and Pistons played on May 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, and 30; the Spurs and Lakers played on May 21, 23, 25, 27, and 29.
The Celtics/Sixers series going to 7 is a good news for Spurs and Thunder. WCF will be ahead of ECF by one day. This edge is even better with both Spurs and Thunder having HCA over the remaining teams in the east which means they will start the final at home.
Because that would benefit the team the NBA doesn't want winning the series? Just a guess.
Thanks for posting.
Agreed.
those start times suck for euros!
