The Thunder’s Second-Round Schedule Possibilities

The NBA has announced both potential schedules for the Thunder’s second-round series against Memphis or San Antonio.

If the Grizzlies win tonight, Game 1 will be played Sunday at noon inside Oklahoma City Arena. If the Spurs win tonight to force Game 7 in that series, Game 1 of the Thunder’s second-round series will be played Tuesday. If the Spurs and Grizzlies go to seven games, the only question is whether the Thunder will face Memphis or San Antonio and host the first game in a series with the Grizzlies or be on the road for the first two games in a series with the Spurs.

Thus, the Thunder’s entire second-round schedule will be become a certainty at the earliest tonight, or at the latest on Sunday afternoon. While we wait for the Grizzlies and Spurs to settle their series, potentially in tonight’s Game 6, here are the two scenarios that the Thunder currently face. Again, these dates and times are set in stone. The opponent is all that’s up in the air.
