Tim Duncan is the Key to Everything in the Spurs – Grizzlies Series

Posted on 25 May, 2013, by in Basketball

How does one play with the notion of divorce hanging over his head? It’s hard to tell, but the Memphis Grizzlies need to hope it does somewhat shake Tim Duncan and sway him towards the negative if they’re hoping to have the smallest of chances and beating the San Antonio Spurs in a series. More

San Antonio Spurs – Tim Duncan Erases Fourth Quarter Disaster With Perfect Overtime

Posted on 22 May, 2013, by in Basketball

The San Antonio Spurs knew game 2 was going to be much harder, and they weren’t wrong. They scored only 9 points in the fourth quarter as Tony Parker, excellent in his passing (not his shooting) for most of the game ran out of steam at some point. Luckily for them, Tim Duncan was there to take the scoring on his shoulders in overtime, while being fantastic on defense all game long. More

NBA Playoffs – Grizzlies vs Spurs Game 2 Predictions

Posted on 21 May, 2013, by in Basketball

There’s no way the San Antonio Spurs can hold Zach Randolph to only two points once again. It’s also hard to imagine the Memphis Grizzlies allowing Tony Parker to run wild and go down after the first quarter behind by 17 points, and losing by 22 points. Things don’t work that way in the playoffs, and two days is a whole lot of time between the opener and game 2. More

San Antonio Spurs – Kawhi Leonard Makes It A Big Four

Posted on 20 May, 2013, by in Basketball

Usually, it’s necessary for Tim Duncan to have a decent night offensively for the San Antonio Spurs to have a shot at winning. But when they simply can’t miss from beyond the arc, as Kawhi Leonard and Danny Green continue their evolution into the big boys club, Duncan could finish with 33% from the field, Manu Ginobili be no more than mediocre except for a few famous slashes while Tony Parker was the only one from the original big three that went on full attack mode, leading all scorers with 20 points.

NBA Playoffs – Spurs vs Grizzlies Finals Series Predictions

Posted on 19 May, 2013, by in Basketball

Despite playing against a hurt Oklahoma City Thunder, the Memphis Grizzlies didn’t have it easy, or at least harder than the 4-1 end result suggests. The San Antonio Spurs had a harder time against the Golden State Warriors, needing six games to make it through, but finally figuring out how to stop the three point shooting, while developing an alternative to their big three.

NBA Playoffs – The 4 Teams in the Conference Finals

Posted on 19 May, 2013, by in Featured

Not the most expected of four-team combinations reached the conference finals in the 2013 NBA playoffs. The Miami Heat and the Indiana Pacers in the East; the San Antonio Spurs and Memphis Grizzlies in the West. More

San Antonio Spurs – Kawhi Leonard & Tiago Splitter Shine Instead of Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili & Tim Duncan

Posted on 17 May, 2013, by in Basketball

While the San Antonio Spurs have figured out how to stop Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson, getting their big three going all at one has been a bit more difficult in the playoffs. So while Tim Duncan was benched in crunch time and the Tony Parker – Manu Ginobili tandem proved to be on one of their worst days this season, Kawhi Leonard and Tiago Splitter proved there’s plenty of depth behind the old, beaten up names. More

In game 5, Stephen Curry looked more hobbled than ever, scoring only 9 points. Tony Parker? Couldn't have been healthier, scoring 25.

Spurs Formula to Victory – Attacking Stephen Curry and Stopping the Three Point Shots

Posted on 16 May, 2013, by in Basketball

It seems that as we approach game 6 between the San Antonio Spurs and the Golden State Warriors, the Spurs are coming in confident they have the Warriors figured out. Yes, Harrison Barnes has been surprising after an OK rookie season, but comes down to Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson making three point shots. Once you take that away, while forcing Curry to be the on-ball defender as much as possible, and it seems that Mark Jackson doesn’t have too many rabbits to pull out of his hat. More

San Antonio Spurs – Tony Parker Makes Stephen Curry Look Injured

Posted on 15 May, 2013, by in Basketball

Don’t always believe it when NBA players and their head coaches speak of injuries. It’s all about perception, and when Tony Parker leads the San Antonio Spurs to a huge win in Game 5 while making Stephen Curry (with the help of others) look like someone who doesn’t really know what he’s doing for once, the injury card for Curry suddenly becomes a lot more significant, trying to make us forget the point guard in front of him is older and just as injured.

San Antonio Spurs – Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili & Tony Parker Messed Up in the Clutch

Posted on 13 May, 2013, by in Basketball

It’s usually about the San Antonio Spurs being better than everyone when their big three are playing together, especially when they’re all healthy and ready to go. But in game 4 of the Western conference semifinals, the intensity and physicality of the game seemed to be a bit too much for Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker, all disappointing as the team collapsed in the final 10 minutes of a game they had in their hands.
