Thrifty Nickel Will Help You Find Your Next Car!

Well with the San Antonio Spurs resting at home waiting to see who their opponent in the NBA Finals will be, the Heat and Pacers are still slugging it out. Indiana beat the Heat 99-92 last night to even the series at 2. So there won’t be a victor from the Eastern conference until game six on Saturday at the earliest. Even if their series goes to seven games, the Finals won’t start until June 6th so the Spurs have plenty of time to rest up and get healthy. Personally I’d like to see the Pacers make it to the finals, but I’m pretty sure that San Antonio could go toe to toe with either team!

Now I know that most of you don’t read the Thrifty Nickel blog for my sports insights and predications, but that’s just an added bonus!

Odessa/Midland Thrifty Nickel AlarmClockHC1303 copyThe end of the week is here and with it comes a whole new list of tasks that we will all try to get done before the 11th hour Sunday evening.
