http://www.yardbarker.com/nba/teams/san_antonio_spurs/81 Recent articles about San Antonio Spurs en-us Spurs guard Tony Parker will undergo an MRI on Thursday to examine his calf ahead of Saturday's Game Three in the Western Conference Finals, Jared Greenberg of NBATV report (h/t Project Spurs). Tony Parker to undergo an MRI tomorrow on calf. Says three days off couldn't have come at a better time @nba. @nbatv @nbaontnt — Jared Greenberg (@NBATVJared) May 22, 2013 Parker suffered a calf and ankle injury initially in San Antonio's series with Golden State when Andrew Bogut kicked him in the shin. Parker was able to play through that injury despite the injury swelling to a "baseball" size knot. It is unclear whether Parker has continued playing through the injury and is merely using the three-day break to check up on the injury and make sure no further damage is being done or if he re-aggravated it in Tuesday's Game Two victory. Parker turned in an impressive performance in Game Two against the Grizzlies, scoring 15 points and recording a playoff ca...

The San Antonio crowd was chanting "bulls**t" after viewing the replay, and Jason McIntyre of The Big Lead nominated Allen for an Oscar. While it's clear that Allen embellishes the fall a bit, and starts clutching his head despite the fact that replays show that he never actually hit his head. Still, in my humble opinion, Ginobili's foul was obviously flagrant. Allen was in the air, and Ginobili grabbed his arm. The risk factor is always elevated when a player leaves his feet, and even a relatively small bump or grab can really send him flying. What's your take on his play? In case you haven't seen it, here's the video.

This video shows all 18 dimes from Parker in just about two and a half minutes. Parker is averaging 21.6 points and 7.5 assists per game during the post season, and hasn’t seemed to slow down as the Spurs took a 2-0 lead against the visiting Memphis Grizzlies on Tuesday night. Parker had 15 points, 18 assists and 3 steals as the Spurs pushed their pace and ultimately walked away with a 93-89 overtime victory and take total control of the series. A series many picked Memphis to win. Parker continues to be one of the association’s premier point guards, although he rarely gets the credit linked to being a top caliber floor general. Parker just keeps on trucking along, as he looks to add a 4th championship ring to his resume.

The Spurs came through in the extra period, winning the game 93-89 and taking a 2-0 series lead. The climax of the Grizzlies’ late-game comeback was a four-point possession during the final minute of regulation involving a Manu Ginóbili flagrant foul on Memphis guard Tony Allen, a call that may have been influenced by Allen’s over-the-top reaction. - You’ll notice that Allen’s head never actually struck the floor. So his rolling-around-on-the-floor-while-cradling-his-head act probably wasn’t warranted. Allen’s theatrics aside, the flagrant foul call was correct. How a player lands and whether or not a player is injured has no bearing on whether or not a foul is considered flagrant. Instead of making a play on the ball, Ginóbili grabbed Allen’s arm and pulled him down while he was in the air and vulnerabl...

It was a hard foul on a breakaway by Allen, but it certainly wasn’t with malicious intent. But Allen acted as if he was brutally injured, and the refs called it flagrant, giving Allen two shots and the Grizzlies the ball. Allen calmly made the free throws, and then hit the game-tying jumper on the ensuing in bound of the ball. Judge for yourself: His head never hit the floor, but he acted as if it did. The NBA better follow-through on their ‘no-flopping’ rule and hit Allen with a large fine for what he did.

These achievements are more impressive when you consider that it’s a relatively low-scoring game, and he had 16 assists before the end of the third quarter (they were shut out in the 4th when Memphis made their rally).   Tony Parker’s consistent play has been a catalyst for the Spurs this season.

Duncan not only changed the future of the Spurs, it also changed the path for the Boston Celtics who had the best odds to get the No. 1 pick in 1997. The Spurs drafted Duncan and the Celtics drafted Chancey Billups and Ron Mercer. For the Spurs, Duncan has led the franchise to four NBA titles while Boston went on to win one in this decade of the NBA with Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen. But what if fortunes were flipped? What if Boston won the 1997 NBA Draft and selected Duncan?  OrlandoMagic.com showed exactly how TD would look in a Boston uniform had he signed with the guys in green. Needless to say, Duncan in a Boston uniform doesn't look that bad but a black and silver jersey is more his speed. Check out Celtic Duncan and my advanced apologies to Celtics fans who might still be smarting over not winning the 1997 Draft.

Duncan’s not a day over 49. And after he scored just six points in the Spurs’ victory over the Grizzlies in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals on Sunday, the casual observer might assume Duncan has lost a step. Duncan’s importance to the machine-like Spurs no longer rests in his point total, however. At his actual age of 37 (and 25 days), Duncan long ago stopped being a dominant scorer. But he is still capable of being one of the top defensive big men in the game, and while his teammates buried Memphis beneath a 3-point barrage, Duncan’s defense was as big a reason as any for San Antonio’s 22-point win. Zach Randolph, who put Blake Griffin, David Lee and others through the grinder in the first two rounds, was held to just two points ...

"Now if they want to draft me, I'd be happy to give it to them." Thomas said teams asked him plenty of challenging questions at the combine, but he said that the most "interesting" was the fact the Spurs' first question was for his cell phone number and email address. The Spurs did manage to get Thomas' email address out of him, so at least if the Western Conference's second best team wants to contact him about a contract, they will be right next to the spam mail in the inbox.

In fact, he wasn't willing to give his number out at all. Here's the scoop:Thomas said teams asked him plenty of difficult and interesting questions during his interview process at the combine. But the most interesting, he said, was the fact the Spurs’ first question was for his cell phone number and his e-mail address.
