If you’ve been hanging around Pounding the Rock for a long time, you know that we have a bit of our own language here, which can be viewed on the site Lexicon. One of the most infamous terms that hadn’t been used in a while before this season is the FIGASENI, or Five Games in Seven Nights, and yet the second one of the season for the San Antonio Spurs begins tonight at the home of the Dallas Mavericks.
It wasn’t that long ago that FIGASENIs were eliminated as the league aimed to stretch out the schedule and give players more rest (and prevent trail blazers like Gregg Popovich from doing it for them).
