NBA Playoffs 2013: Spurs vs. Grizzlies Game 4 live stream and TV start time, The NBA Playoffs 2013 live stream and TV games continue for Monday, May 27, as the San Antonio Spurs look to sweep their Western Conference Finals series against the Memphis Grizzlies. The two teams have gone to overtime in two different games now, with the Spurs winning each of the extra sessions. Tonight, Memphis looks to prevent elimination, as they find their backs against the wall. The Spurs vs. Grizzlies Game 4 will be live streaming and televised courtesy of ESPN.
According to an LA Times article on May 26, it seems nobody talks so much about the "Big 3" on the Spurs who have once again quietly put themselves in position to go for the championship. While all three stars -- Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobli and Tony Parker, have always been aging, their talent now seems ageless. The trio hasn't been in the NBA Finals for five seasons now, but will look to return with a win tonight. If the Grizzlies can win this series (a big if), they'll achieve something no team in NBA history has done yet; come back from an 0-3 deficit in an NBA playoff series.
Most fans and analysts might have expected this team's big stars to have disbanded at this point in their careers. Ducan is 37, Parker is 31, and Ginobli is 35, which for some superstars might even be retirement age. Even the Spurs' stars think the "age" argument gets "old," as Ginobli put it:
"Yeah, it gets old. We've been old for probably eight years now. I remember in 2007, our last championship, they were saying that we were old, and it's all right. I guess we are. But we play well, we play together, and every year we are out there contending."
Some may argue that San Antonio could have had a more difficult path if Oklahoma City Thunder guard Russell Westbrook hadn't gone down to injury. In fact, the Grizzlies may have had to overcome the tougher opponents in order to get to this spot, although an argument can be made for the Golden State Warriors emerging as a top playoff contender. Still, it's hard to argue against the evidence, San Antonio is back in business, and close to competing for a fifth NBA title in their franchise's history.
Tim Duncan said of he and his team's focus when it comes to these games:
"It's the last one until the next one. I'm not worried about the last one or the last one we had or anything else. We're worried about the here and now. We're worried about the next game."
That next game, Game 4, comes in Memphis at 9 p.m. EST on Monday night. The Spurs have the chance to close out the series, with the Grizzlies finding their backs against the wall. Tonight's Spurs vs. Grizzlies live stream has been advertised as being on WatchESPN, a special streaming service that ESPN and various cable/satellite providers make free to customers around the country. The service may require use of an app, and logging in through the appropriate provider. Otherwise, the game will be televised via ESPN which is Cox Cable channel 25 and DISH Network channel 140 in Roanoke, VA.
NBA fans, will the Spurs close out the series tonight? What will tonight's final score be?
