I don't know either. You would think they would have a game friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday. That way only having a 1 day break. When do they playoff schedule come out? Maybe they wanted to give the older spurs players some rest?
Don't be surprised if Serge Ibaka plays on Sunday. They are now saying his injury isn't as bad as first diagnosed, and he is now listed day to day. But I can tell you that when NBA teams go to the trouble of having press releases like this it usually means they intend to play him. I agree with some of the posters above that this 5 day window between games is kind of ridiculous. But it couldn't have come at a better time for the Thunder. Still an uphill battle for OKC since I think they would have still lost both of their games even if Ibaka had played..But it won't hurt their confidence with Serge back in the lineup and now playing at home. Should be an interesting third game.
