    Let the perpetual "rest" vs. "rust" debate begin.


    For what it's worth, the Heat and Pacers can't possibly get more than 6 days of rest between the time their series ended and the day the Finals began (the Miami-Indiana series, mathematically, cannot be ended in fewer than five games).

    The finals will begin on June 06. That is 10 days of rest, regardless of how long the Miami/Indy series goes.

    Manu was limping in the fourth. Kawhi didn't have his normal bounce this series. TP and TD could always use extra rest.

    I don't think there is a rest vs. rust debate with regards to the Spurs. These Spurs will always take the rest.

    Definitely take the rest.

    The Spurs now have 9 days to rest, heal, and gameplan for the Finals.

    That also means we have 9 days to revel in their sweep of the Grizz before the Finals begin.

    GO SPURS GO!!!!!

    Manu needs to fix whatever ailment he has in his shooting.
    If Manu shooting heals to good (not great) shooting. I like our chances.
    Plus, we have a coach that always takes good advantage of our off time.

    True. Rest, heal, gameplan and practice for 9 days. Let's hope the Heat-Pacers series go the distance.

    I doubt if Duncan will wait for 2 days to watch Miami vs Spurs match-ups on video..he always do after just winning WCF acc. to previous reports.

    If the spurs cover themselves with rust I see them missing shots and being slower and unproductive on ofense and not sharp enough on D. That's automatic loss.
    But then again if they use the rest wise. Manu can be unstoppable with the rest. Parker and Kawhi more healed. Esp. TP with the break he had at the end of a season, his shape is going up. No contusion = best Parker ever.

    Of course I'd take rest over rhythm like LJ said cause 4th Q fumes that spurs could play with = demolition. And Miami if in the Finals can run spurs to death.

    If the Pacers manage to make this a six-game series, then we could be looking at 9 days of rest for San Antonio vs. just 4-5 days of rest for Miami.



    Granted, as far as rest vs. rust is concerned, there may not be much difference between 9 days and 4 days of rest, especially since Miami doesn't have to travel for the first two games. But it could still be some advantage.

    You can consistently make me laugh. That's about the perfect description of what this place will be like for 10 days.
