WCF Schedule. SPURS vs GRIZZLIES

[T Park]

Tickets in similar areas are at least 30% higher than equivalent series from last year. I go to a ton of Spurs playoff games, I just spent $100 on 10th row balcony seats from TM that cost me ~$60-65 last year for the WCF. So blow me.

Don't like it, don't pay. Supply and demand. Get on your knees.

With that schedule, it'd be huge if the Spurs can win both at home, because if so, they'd get a good chance at stealing one on the road from that long break. Winning this in 5 isn't out of reach, but it is unlikely.

If they can get both at home, the 3 days off gives them a fantastic shot at in 5.

I'm happy with the schedule. Friday and Saturday off and then play Sunday afternoon? That sounds like sufficient rest to me.

That big break before Game 3 will be huge. If you remember correctly, there were no extra days off last year against the Thunder. IMO, that played a role in the demise. Come Game 3, they were already dragging. In this series, the Spurs can load up for Game 3 to give it all they got.

The drawback of this schedule is no extra day of rest before Game 7. Considering how physical this series will be, I'm not sure the Spurs will have the legs to win a Game 7.

anybody going to any games in memphis?

off got. You're gonna ride my nuts because a 30+% increase in ticket prices over last year surprises and annoys me. Somebody hasn't gotten their wet in a while, but it's definitely not me.

The two days off between now and sunday will be great.

If the Spurs can get both at home, they have a great shot to steal a game in Memphis.

Obviously the key is to take care of the first two home games. Schedule sets us up perfect to steal one in Memphis during games 3 and 4.

Quick turnaround reminds me of 2008 WCF Series vs the Lakers...

Not even close, our plane stalled all night and then the next day basically! TWO NIGHTS OFF HERE, not even close! That one went 7 in 08 too! Much different here. Two days off is not a very quick turnaround, sorry.

Sunday start is 2:30 all other games will be 8PM CT

If they can get both at home, the 3 days off gives them a fantastic shot at in 5.

Yeah the first two games at home are crucial, obviously every game is now, but it'd be ideal to finish in 5.

I don't think this serie will go 7 tbh, its going to be a very physical serie one team will collapse before a game 7.

not really similar. We went from playing on the road in New Orleans, had plane trouble right after, then had to fly to LA to start the Laker series. We're playing the first two in SA this time.

[TJastal]

Because ABC wants a Sunday game and it wants that game on Sunday afternoon.
