San Antonio Spurs' Nando De Colo recently vented on his lack of playing time as the regular season ended and now in the postseason. His time on the court has dipped significantly and has only played in the playoffs during the Lakers opening-round series and not at all since.

His comments created a stir among Spurs fans, however, Nando followed up his comments to French media on his Facebook page and made the record clear - he is frustrated with the lack of playing time but does say as long as the team is winning, that is all that matters in the end.

True to their word, the Memphis Grizzlies don’t bluff. It’s an admirable, if limiting, quality. There’s something we find noble about a person that tears straight forward at an opponent, all hustle, heart, grit and grind.

The San Antonio Spurs are back in the NBA Finals for a fifth time in franchise history as is Tim Duncan.

Duncan already has quite the resume winning four NBA titles and three NBA Finals MVP trophies and now will have a shot at adding the elusive fifth championship to his illustrious NBA career.

Prior to Game 3 in the Western Conference Finals, Duncan spoke on what it means to reach the NBA Finals again, how focused he is on the prize, how his age is a non-factor and more.

Needless to say, Duncan wants title No. 5 badly.

The San Antonio Spurs are the 2013 Western Conference Champs after sweeping the Memphis Grizzlies last night 93-86 and will now advance to the NBA Finals.

After the game, the Spurs hammed it up for the cameras and took lots of photos for fans to feel apart of the celebration.

Here is a sample of some of the photos from the locker room celebration and the fans turning out to welcome back their basketball heroes early this morning.

After watching his top-rated defense continue to be shredded for four straight games against San Antonio Spurs point guard Tony Parker, Memphis Grizzlies head coach Lionel Hollins had a clear statement regarding Parker.

“He was outstanding the whole series.”

Overtime wasn’t needed Monday, but the Spurs and Grizzlies again delivered blows to each other as they battled in a tight contest. However, Parker was just too much for the Grizzlies with his 37 points on 15-of-21 shooting, making all of his free throws, and passing for six assists.

“They deserve to move on and I wish them the best of luck,” continued Hollins after the game of the Spurs.

San Antonio Spurs' Manu Ginobili's passing skills always seem to amaze his fans and his passes seem to come without much thinking. Ginobili's quick touch pass between Tayshaun Prince's legs to Cory Joseph is an example of Manu's playmaking skills that come easy to the Argentinian shooting guard. This play was made during transition in the first quarter of Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals.

According to USA Today, the Sacramento Kings are looking at San Antonio Spurs GM R.C. Buford, among others, to be the next team President.

According to two people with knowledge of the situation, Ranadive has begun the process of finding a replacement for Kings President Geoff Petrie and is considering San Antonio Spurs President R.C. Buford, Golden State Warriors assistant general manager Travis Schlenk, and Memphis Grizzlies general manager Chris Wallace. Former Indiana Pacers general manager David Morway may also receive consideration, and Ranadive's internal list is not thought to be limited to this group.

Buford has been courted numerous time in the past from other team looking at him to fill front office spots but prying him away from the Spurs would be a tall task. He has been an integral part of making the franchise into what it is now, loyal to Gregg Popovich and is quite comfortable in his current position with San Antonio.

Kevin and Marcus of MemphiSport Live (WHBQ in Memphis) invited me as a guest on their show Saturday afternoon to talk about "tablegate" and my editorial on the topic.

They asked about my initial thoughts when it was confirmed, made a case for how Paul McCartney could get a table and wished San Antonio Spurs' Tony Parker had opted for some Memphis BBQ that might've slowed him up a bit entering Game 3.

Thanks to Kevin and Marcus for having me on to set a few things straight.

Note: Since this is hopefully the last time this topic is brought up on Project Spurs, I did want to point out an excellent comment from a Memphis resident on the original post. The commenter, Dallas Lavergne made some great points that I think are right on the mark.

Also Tony Parker has also denied that he was denied service at said restaurant.
