San Antonio Spurs – Tim Duncan Watches Tony Parker & Manu Ginobili Wither Away
Manu Ginobili had one of his worse games ever, and Tony Parker forgot to show up to the second half. Danny Green and Gary Neal stopped making three pointers at an insane rate, while Tim Duncan was left alone with his finger in the dam as the San Antonio Spurs lost game 4 by 16 points, and once again find themselves at an even (2-2) series, with the momentum going the other way.

Tracy McGrady Still Hasn’t Scored any Points for the San Antonio Spurs
He isn’t going to get any meaningful minutes as his NBA career winds down with the prospect of winning a championship, but Tracy McGrady would at least like to score one point before he retires, hoping that at some point of his garbage time basketball for the San Antonio Spurs he’ll get on the scoreboard.

San Antonio Spurs – Danny Green, Gary Neal & Kawhi Leonard Are The Real Big Three
Assuming the San Antonio Spurs needed a big game from their original big three, consisting of Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili and Tim Duncan, to win game 3 of the NBA Finals, was reading the signs wrong. Gregg Popovich did enjoy a triplet performing the way stars should, but it was the trio of Gary Neal, Danny Green and Kawhi Leonard that gave them the lead in the series once again.

The Embarrassing Numbers by the Miami Heat & LeBron James in Their Game 3 Loss
The Miami Heat losing by 36 points becomes one of the more lopsided losses in NBA finals history. How bad? Only twice has game ended in a wider margin: In 1998, when the Bulls beat the Utah Jazz by 42 points, and in 2008, when the Celtics beat the Lakers by 39 points.

NBA Finals – Spurs vs Heat Game 3 Predictions
There’s some cliché about game 3 being the one that usually decides the series, but it seems a lot of the conclusions in NBA Finals are determined by who is the team that is able to gather momentum while making adjustments on the fly quicker than their opponents, which leads to the very important question: Which team, the Miami Heat, or the San Antonio Spurs, have more reasons to feel confident heading in the third game?

San Antonio Spurs – Role Players Aren’t Going to Win the NBA Finals
Having Danny Green and Kawhi Leonard hit three pointers (which only one of them has been doing so far) is big for the San Antonio Spurs. Tiago Splitter being dominant on both ends of the floor is crucial, but that’s not what the team is about, and unless Tony Parker, Tim Duncan and to a lesser degree, Manu Ginobili, are able to bounce back from their game 3 performance, the NBA finals will end in a disappointing manner.

San Antonio Spurs – Tony Parker & the Big 3 Let Everyone Down
The losing teams usually need to make adjustments, but the San Antonio Spurs weren’t that good in the NBA finals opener to feel too confident going into game 2, which resulted in a slightly embarrassing collapse late in the game, as Tony Parker lost his magic-lucky touch for once, while Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili had one of these days when they simply look old.

NBA Finals – Spurs vs Heat Game 2 Predictions
No team that has lost its first two games at home in the NBA finals went on to win the NBA title. That’s why the Miami Heat are in a must-win situation heading into game 2, while the San Antonio Spurs are feeling confident without trying to show it too much, unlike other teams that lost to the Heat along the way.
