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.

Fashion and style have long been part of the NBA, especially in a league filled with star power. It's also showed a glimpse at some questionable style choices, from Paul George showing up to his postgame presser looking like he just stepped out of a lime jello mold to the wacky suit choices some players sport on draft day.

San Antonio Spurs guard Tony Parker has been associated with style since he landed in the NBA as a fresh-faced 19-year-old from France. Being the son of a model never hurt, but Parker's draft day decision to go with the "Regis" look got him on best dressed draft lists on several media outlets.

Luckily for the Spurs and fans, Parker's fashionable wardrobe decisions were still far from his best talents on the hardwood.

Being an NBA rookie is hard enough but being an rookie with the San Antonio Spurs is another thing.

On a team with veterans such as Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker and a hard-nosed coach like Gregg Popovich, a rookie has to impress if he wants to crack the rotation and see steady minutes. Something rookie guard Nando De Colo is experiencing right now.

Nando played in 72 regular season games but saw his time on the court dwindle as the season progressed. He went from playing in 16 games in December to nine game in April to three games in the postseason where he has only totaled nine minutes. And now that he is not even suiting up for games in the playoffs nor has played in the Warriors and Grizzlies series, Nando is finding it very frustrating and it isn't sitting well with him.

In an interview with French site La Voix Du Nord, Nando vented about his lack of playing time with the Spurs.

The San Antonio Spurs are up 2-0 on the Memphis Grizzlies in the Western Conference Finals as the scene shifts to Memphis for Game 3. However, Game 2 wasn't an easy win for the Spurs. Memphis made a huge rally to force overtime but the Spurs squeaked out the win.

While Spurs fans may have been sweating the narrow win, Kawhi Leonard says it is good the team had a close game and said coach Popovich was happy the team got the win  but did point out the team's flaws. 

Leonard was a guest on the Jim Rome Show and spoke about the narrow win and more including how the loss to the Thunder in last season's postseaon run still lingers in his mind, his thoughts on coach Gregg Popovich saying he is the future face of the franchise, playing in Memphis and the hostile crowd, and more.

San Antonio Spurs' Tim Duncan and Tony Parker have been selected to the 2012-13 all-NBA first and second team respectively.

Duncan received 45 first-team points and joined LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Kobe Bryant and Chris Paul on the first team. Parker is joined by Carmelo Anthony, Blake Griffin, Marc Gasol and Russell Westbrook on the all-NBA second team.

Duncan averaged 17.8 points, 9.9 rebounds, 2.7 assists, and 2.7 blocks during the regular season while Parker notched 20.3 points, 7.6 assists, and shot 52% on the season.

For Duncan this marks his 10th selection on the all-NBA first team and for Parker it marks his second selection to the second team.

The first two games served as a reminder that the Spurs' offense is a Tony Parker first offense and that when he's aggressive, it's a really good offense.  Game 2 was a prime example of how Parker, despite having a dreadful shooting night, stayed aggressive and found his teammates on his way to 18 assists.  Memphis Grizzlies guard Mike Conley, Jr. said after the game that Parker's playmaking has put the Grizzlies defense on their heels.

"Well, on pick-and-rolls, they had such good spacing that it allowed him (Parker) to manipulate and move the ball different ways, get into the paint and draw-and-kick," Conley said. "When you have a guy that's able to create plays like that for other people, it really puts the defense at its mercy."
