NBA Finals 2014 Scheduling favors Spurs

The Spurs are sitting pretty with the scheduling.  I still pick the Heat to win it all and prefer that they win yet the Spurs have been given the best scheduling chance to win with their old bones. The Spurs have a minimum of 2 days off to prepare for any game at home against the Heat. The Heat only have one day off to prepare for any game in Miami.

My hats off to the Spurs closing out OKC in 6. That was impressive because no Spur has the athleticism of Durant or Westbrook and as a team barely held them in check to win the 6th game.  Now the Spurs face two great talents again in James and Wade which can turn up the heat easily melting spurs.  The key advantage is the Spurs home court where they will be rested just enough in games against the Heat.  Let the games begin Thursday.

The Spurs have 4 days to prepare, the Heat have 5 days.
