San Antonio Spurs – Tony Parker Makes Stephen Curry Look Injured
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
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.

San Antonio Spurs – Tony Parker Shines, Stephen Curry Declines
Figuring out two things – how to slow down Stephen Curry, and getting Tony Parker going stands in the basis of the San Antonio Spurs efforts to turn the Western Conference Semifinals series back to their side. In game 3, helped by more minutes from Tiago Splitter and a big game from Tim Duncan, it seemed to be working.

NBA Playoffs – Spurs vs Warriors Game 3 Predictions
The San Antonio Spurs are in trouble. They were outplayed by the Golden State Warriors in the opening two games, lucky to come out with a win in the first one, and are heading into their first road game of the series without a lot of rest given previously to some of their weary players, and still without an answer on how to stop the Warriors offense.

San Antonio Spurs – Tim Duncan Forgotten in the Fourth Quarter
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.

Stephen Curry & Klay Thompson Break Curses For Golden State Warriors
It’s been 22 years since the Golden State Warriors won a second round playoff game on the road. It’s been 16 years since they last won in San Antonio against the Spurs. But these 2013 Warriors are different. Young, but they don’t play as such, especially not Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry, who were simply too much to handle for the favorites to win the Western Conference.

NBA Playoffs – Warriors vs Spurs Game 2 Predictions
The first game in the Western conference semifinals series between the Golden State Warriors and the San Antonio Spurs provided us with two overtimes, an amazing performance from Stephen Curry and an even better finish from Manu Ginobili. Chances are we’re in for a letdown in terms of quality in game 2, but not by much.

Gregg Popovich is the Coolest Head Coach in the NBA
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.

Manu Ginobili Shines & Stephen Curry Doesn’t in the Clutch
Sometimes history is stronger than anything else: The Golden State Warriors haven’t been able to beat the San Antonio Spurs in Texas for over 16 years, so even a huge performance for most of the game by Stephen Curry eventually gets subdued by the wonderful Kawhi Leonard, while Manu Ginobili on an awful shooting night comes up with the winning shot to keep things in order.

NBA Playoffs – Spurs vs Warriors Semifinals Predictions
Hoping that their two wins over the San Antonio Spurs during the regular season mean it’s an equal playing field, the Golden State Warriors enter their first semifinals series in six years as the lowest seed remaining in the playoffs, basing their faith and excitement on the incredible shooting Stephen Curry has delivered so far, infecting the rest of his teammates in the belief this is a special season.
