The San Antonio Spurs are on the verge of sweeping the Memphis Grizzlies and heading back to the NBA Finals for a fifth time in franchise history. The Spurs hold a 3-0 edge over the Grizzlies and will look for the sweep tonight in Memphis in Game 4. 

Before tonight's game Spurs' Tony Parker, Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili and coach Gregg Popovich spoke about Game 4 and Parker was very clear, he wants to give Memphis "no hope" in Game 4 tonight.

Check out what the trio had to say about Game 4 including Duncan agreeing with Parker, saying he doesn't want to give the Grizzlies any life in tonight's contest and Ginobili giving Popovich credit on the franchise's sustained excellence.

The San Antonio Spurs have a vice-grip on the Western Conference Finals up 3-0 on the Memphis Grizzlies and are the verge of returning to the NBA Finals for a fifth time.

The Spurs won 104-93 in overtime last night and will look to finish off the Grizzlies and sweep the series tomorrow in Memphis.

After the win last night, Tony Parker, Tim Duncan, Tiago Splitter and Boris Diaw spoke on the pivotal win and more.

Parker on executing down the stretch to take the win, dealing with overtime games in the postseason and more.

Duncan on coach Popovich pulling out the starting five in the first quarter, feeling good in overtime, and more.

San Antonio Spurs' Gregg Popovich gave us yet another memorable sideline interview, well, at least for a few minutes.

In game 3 of the Spurs-Grizzlies series, San Antonio was losing bad thanks in large part to carelessness with the ball which resulted in eight turnovers in the first quarter. This didn't sit well with coach Pop.

During the sideline interview with ESPN after the horrendous start to the game, Pop succinctly summed it up with one word used twice -- turnovers.

"It was one of the worst starts I've ever seen," said San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich Saturday after his team had to rally behind an 18-point deficit to take a 3-0 Western Conference Series lead over the Memphis Grizzlies in overtime.

Why was it the worst start according to Popovich? In the first quarter, his starters came out unfocused and committed eight turnovers out of the gate, to help the Grizzlies begin with a quick 5-0 run. His starters still couldn’t get their act together so he pulled his entire starting five and threw out his bench midway through the quarter. When the first quarter ended, the Spurs found themselves down 29-13.

By the time the game was over in overtime, Spurs guard Manu Ginobili had this to say.

"One of the best wins I've witnessed being a Spur."

The San Antonio Spurs (10-2) and Memphis Grizzlies (8-5) resume their Western Conference Finals series tonight for Game 3 in Memphis.

The Spurs will be looking to put a stranglehold on the series as they hold a 2-0 lead in the series. However, Memphis is undefeated at home in the postseason and beating the Grizzlies in the "Grind House" will be tough.

The Spurs are coming off a narrow 93-89 overtime win in Game 2 in San Antonio. Tony Parker led the team with 15 point and a career-postseason high 18 assists. Tim Duncan led the way in the extra frame with six points. Mike Conley paced Memphis with 18 points in the loss.

And as the Spurs will look to put a vice-grip on the series, here are five things to watch for during tonight's contest:

• The Spurs are 2-3 against the Grizzlies in postseason games played in Memphis

I love the atmosphere and competitiveness of the NBA playoffs. There's really nothing else like it. I also don't mind some friendly trash talk among Spurs fans and fans of opposing teams, and I'm all about a city getting behind their team.

But at some point, there's a line where fun and games and a little friendly competition ends and unnecessary behavior starts. A Memphis restaurant has now toed that line.

The Memphis Grizzlies are the San Antonio Spurs' opponents for the Western Conference Finals and while every Spurs fan has that nasty taste in their mouths from losing to these same Grizzlies in 2011, I would never expect the city of San Antonio to host the Grizzlies with anything but the world class service they are known for.

The tourism industry, local restaurants and the like are used to hosting all types of sports teams and athletes for NCAA tournaments, NBA, WNBA, arena football games and recently boxing so it's no surprise when I hear of the friendly and courteous service all over town.

During his time in the NBA, San Antonio Spurs legend David Robinson posterized many foolish enough to challenge him in the paint but he wasn't immune from being on the receiving end.

And sports radio personality Dan Patrick made sure to remind "The Admiral" of this when he was a guest on his show.

Dan Patrick loves to bring up people who dunked on me but I still always enjoy going on the @dpshow #GreatHost

OK so Robinson had his fair share of being posterized despite being one of the fiercest shot-blockers ever in the NBA. Who can forget what Shaquille O'Neal did to him in the 1996 All-Star Game in San Antonio?

But since Dan wants to tease Robinson on who dunked on him, let's take a look at a few of his vicious dunks when he was lacing up his sneakers for the Spurs.

Robinson has no mercy for the Clippers

The NBA will assess a $5,000 fine on Grizzlies guard Tony Allen's egregious flop after hitting the deck in Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals. San Antonio Spurs' Manu Ginobili clearly committed a foul, which was deemed a flagrant, to prevent an uncontested layup in the waning seconds of San Antonio's 92-89 victory -- the flop in question occurred when Allen, his momentum carrying him out of bounds, gesticulated towards his head. Allen's head, replays revealed, never made contact with the court.

Allen hit the ensuing two free throws and the Grizzlies retained possession. Mike Conley hit a right-handed floater with 18.2 seconds to tie the game.

News came out earlier this week that San Antonio Spurs' Tony Parker would undergo an MRI on his injured left calf and now  Spurs fans can breathe a sigh of relief.

Parker spoke to the media recently and said his calf is doing much better. He went on to state the bruise is not as large anymore and that he just needs rest and continued medial treatments.

Check out what TP had to say about not only his ailing calf and his thoughts on making the All-NBA second team and his teammate Tim Duncan making the All-NBA first team.
