NBA Playoffs – San Antonio Spurs Need Gregg Popovich to Improve
After every loss we usually hear the same thing: The San Antonio Spurs will be fine because Gregg Popovich will figure out what’s wrong. But in this playoff series against the Oklahoma City Thunder that seems to be quickly slipping away from him and his team, it’s time to point some fingers at the head coach and not just the players who are obviously more than slightly overwhelmed by what’s going on.

San Antonio Spurs – Hopefully Not Peaking With Streak
The San Antonio Spurs aren’t stopping or slowing down for anyone, beating the Golden State Warriors 111-90 to bring their winning streak to 19 games thanks to another very efficient performance from both Tim Duncan and Tony Pakrer, while hoping that this isn’t the best they have to offer this season.

Another season, another 50 wins for the San Antonio Spurs, reaching that mark for the 15th consecutive time. They beat the Utah Jazz 122-104, lead by Tony parker, Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili, while not really making anyone work too hard for the win.

NBA Rumors – San Antonio Spurs Need a Trade Right Now
It might be another season of 50+ wins and overall pleasantness for the San Antonio Spurs, but if winning an NBA championship with this group is the main goal, than doing something out of the box and making some sort of trade that brings them another meaningful contributor is a must.

Blazers vs Spurs – Still Impossible to Decide Who the Best in the West is
Another big game from the Portland Trail Blazers against a potential playoff rival on the road, showing that they’re more than just a passing trend. Beating the San Antonio Spurs 109-100 is something of a declaration of intent, and it shouldn’t be surprising to anyone if we see this bunch still hanging around in late May and early June.

Miami Heat, Oklahoma City Thunder, Dallas Mavericks & San Antonio Spurs Only Teams With the Same Head Coach For More Than Three Seasons
The NBA isn’t exactly a league that preaches for coaching stability. In fact, only four teams: The Miami Heat, Oklahoma City Thunder, Dallas Mavericks and San Antonio Spurs have a head coach that’s been at the job for more than three seasons, as Erik Spoelstra, Scott Brooks and Rick Carlisle have been at the job since the 2008-2009 season, while Gregg Popovich has been with the Spurs since the 1996-1997 season.

San Antonio Spurs – Tim Duncan Got Dragged Down by Manu Ginobili & Tony Parker
It’s hard to think about it at the moment, but the San Antonio Spurs vastly exceeded expectations by reaching the NBA finals, not to mention dragging it to a game 7 and being in it right up until the very end. Why it ended badly? Because Tim Duncan was alone among the big three that showed up for the final two games, while Manu Ginobili kept making all the wrong moves, and Tony Parker didn’t have it in him to be on the court in crunch time.

San Antonio Spurs – Manu Ginobili Needs Gregg Popovich To Make the Right Decision About Him
There’s more than just the question of whether the Manu Ginobili of more than 80% of this series will show up. It’s about whether Gregg Popovich thinks he has it in him to put it behind in game 7 of the 2013 NBA finals, and even more importantly, is Popovich willing to take him off the court when he sees it’s damaging the San Antonio Spurs.

San Antonio Spurs – Tim Duncan Too Tired to Make Up For Manu Ginobili & Tony Parker Being Terrible
There’s only so much Tim Duncan can do. After a heroic first half in which he tortured Chris Bosh in the low post, age and fatigue finally kicked in. The problem? When the game was on the line in the fourth quarter Gregg Popovich didn’t have him on the floor, and in overtime, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili messed up badly enough for Duncan’s great game 6 of the NBA finals not really matter.

San Antonio Spurs – Manu Ginobili & Tony Parker Can’t Fade Away Now
There are a lot of heroes in the performance the San Antonio Spurs are putting on in the NBA Finals, with Danny Green and his three point shooting probably being the most obvious of them, but the key to their wins has always been about the man making the decisions with the ball, which was Tony Parker in the first two games and finally getting Manu Ginobili to join him in the last one.
