San Antonio Spurs – Tim Duncan Forgotten in the Fourth Quarter

Posted on 9 May, 2013, by in Basketball

While Tim Duncan isn’t having the easiest of time so far in the Western Conference semifinals, completely forgetting about the number one reason the San Antonio Spurs are four-time NBA champions in the fourth quarter might have been the biggest mistake Gregg Popovich, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili made in their game 2 loss.

Gregg Popovich is the Coolest Head Coach in the NBA

Posted on 7 May, 2013, by in Basketball

Who other than Gregg Popovich will smile during an interview before a fourth quarter of a playoff game, with his San Antonio Spurs down by 12 against the Golden State Warriors? Probably no one, although David Aldridge did help him on that one. When it came to talking about Manu Ginobili hitting the game winning shot, it was all him though. More

San Antonio Spurs – The Final Nail in the Lakers Coffin

Posted on 29 Apr, 2013, by in Basketball

It seems like the San Antonio Spurs kept improving as the series went on, while their rivals sank into great despair with their chances slowly being eliminated off the board. Tony Parker and Tim Duncan didn’t need to play for most of the second half as the Los Angeles Lakers failed to show up for the two home games in the series, getting swept in the most humiliating fashion, barely putting up a fight.

San Antonio Spurs – Tim Duncan & Tony Parker Too Good for the Most Overrated NBA Team

Posted on 27 Apr, 2013, by in Basketball

The 2013 NBA Playoffs are split into two kinds of series – those that will be ending in sweeps, and the tight ones. The San Antonio Spurs are too good of a team this season, with Tim Duncan playing like a much younger man, and Tony Parker doing much better in terms of his health, to be the kind that gets itself mixed up in a troubling series.

San Antonio Spurs Hoping Tracy McGrady Isn’t a Loser Anymore

Posted on 17 Apr, 2013, by in Basketball

As a leading player, Tracy McGrady never got past the first round in the NBA playoffs. Last season, with the Atlanta Hawks, this time as a fringe bench player, he didn’t get past that impossible barrier once again. Gregg Popovich and the San Antonio Spurs are hoping the chance they’ve given a player who spent all season in the Chinese league doesn’t blow up in their faces. More

San Antonio Spurs – Tim Duncan Makes Sure the West Stays Beneath

Posted on 28 Mar, 2013, by in Basketball

It’s about making sure teams know who the best team around is with the playoffs so close. Tim Duncan knew it was on him, with the Denver Nuggets focusing so strongly on Tony Parker. So he came up with another impressive, almost vintage-like performance on both ends of the floor to keep the San Antonio Spurs on top of the Western conference. More

San Antonio Spurs – Tim Duncan Clears the Way for Tony Parker

Posted on 23 Mar, 2013, by in Basketball

They couldn’t make it easy for Tony Parker on his return game, playing for the first time in three weeks after being taken out by an ankle injury. He still was the best player on the court, the MVP if you will (like San Antonio Spurs fan love to chant about), helping the best team in the Western Conference make it through a tough overtime game against a team that’s moving further away from the NBA playoffs.

San Antonio Spurs – Tim Duncan & Tiago Splitter are the Best Big Man Duo in the NBA

Posted on 21 Mar, 2013, by in Basketball

Some arguments can’t be decided, but the way the San Antonio Spurs are looking recently thanks to Tim Duncan raising the level of his game while Tony Parker recovers with his injury puts them on top of the Western Conference justly, while the combination between Duncan and Tiago Splitter might be the best we’re seeing this season from two big men in the NBA.

Are the San Antonio Spurs the Luckiest Team in the NBA

Posted on 20 Mar, 2013, by in Basketball

While the word luck in sports is hard to capture, and most often agree that the harder you train, the more lucky you get (as the old cliché goes), there’s still a way to measure it, and when looking at the 2012-2013 NBA season, there’s a good chance the San Antonio Spurs have been the luckiest team so far of them all.

San Antonio Spurs – Tim Duncan on Best Big Man in NBA Mode

Posted on 17 Mar, 2013, by in Basketball

It has been harder on Tim Duncan at certain moments this season to shine, but still, you don’t expect a 36 year old man to turn on the time machine so often and play like these are his MVP days every night. And still, without Tony Parker, it seems that’s just what the San Antonio Spurs need him to be doing. More
