Two days. That's the rest advantage the Golden State Warriors, having finished their sweep of the Utah Jazz Monday night, will have heading into their Western Conference Finals matchup with the San Antonio Spurs.
In previous seasons, the Spurs' playoff experience would have mitigated the Warriors' two-day edge, but the days of Tim Duncan are over. Even long-time point guard Tony Parker -- out for the remainder of the season with a ruptured quadriceps tendon -- will be on the shelf for this one.
Today, Manu Ginobili, Danny Green, Patty Mills, and Kawhi Leonard are what's left of the Spurs' mainstays.
