San Antonio Spurs – The Big Three Like They’re Supposed to Be
Those who doubted Manu Ginobili were wrong, and so were those who thought Tony Parker couldn’t have enough in him to put on a show in the second half, or that Danny Green would stop hitting three pointers at some point.

San Antonio Spurs – Manu Ginobili & Tony Parker Can’t be This Bad Together
What will it take for the San Antonio Spurs to win their fifth NBA finals? Their defense, which so far did a good job in keeping LeBron James out of the paint on three of four occasions, and playing quick and smart offense that slices through all the traps and double teams, but that can’t happen with Tony Parker at less than 100% or Manu Ginobili playing like he can’t wait to retire.

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.

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.

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.

San Antonio Spurs – Tony Parker Getting Luck Isn’t How to Win Championships
The default option is praising the San Antonio Spurs; their head coach Gregg Popovich, along with Tony Parker and Tim Duncan, for their intelligence, and how they’re so much different from the rest of the NBA. But in game 1 of the 2013 NBA finals they didn’t win because they played brilliant basketball, they won because Tony Parker got a little bit lucky.

San Antonio Spurs – Tim Duncan & The Rejuvenating Powers of Overtime
Another rough first quarter start, another overtime game, and yet once more Tim Duncan shines in the most important of moments, neglecting the fact that he is the oldest player in the series and going through personal troubles off the court, being the main reason the San Antonio Spurs are 3-0 ahead in the Western Conference Finals.

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.

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.
