THE TRIPLE DOUBLE
This blog/site, whatever you wanna call it, started January 14th 2012. I post everything thats going on inside, outside, next, under and above the NBA. I hope you will enjoy the posts. Incase you don't know what a "Triple Double" is: You have a Triple Double when you have three statistics (points, rebounds, assists, blocks or steals) in double digits. The Triple Double does not own or photograph any of the pictures shown on this website. Check the links on the right for more TTD. For contact mail: contactthetripledouble@gmail.com

TONIGHT: GAME 1 OF ECF BETWEEN MIAMI & INDIANA
The Indiana Pacers had the No. 1 defense in the NBA this season and just shut down Carmelo Anthony and the New York Knicks over six games. The Miami Heat had the league’s No. 1 offense and just dispatched Tom Thibodeau’s D in five. The trump card in the Eastern Conference finals, tipping off tonight (8:30 p.m. ET, TNT) in Miami, may be the four-time MVP.

WCF: SPURS - GRIZZLIES GAME 2
Final: Spurs 93, Grizzlies 89
When Tony Parker started running low on masterful plays, Tim Duncan was there to take over and lead the San Antonio Spurs to a 2-0 lead in the Western Conference finals.
Parker had 15 points and a career playoff-high 18 assists, Duncan scored San Antonio’s first six points of overtime and the Spurs bounced back after squandering a 13-point lead in the fourth quarter to beat the Memphis Grizzlies 93-89 on Tuesday night.
WCF: SPURS - GRIZZLIES GAME 1
Final: Spurs 105, Grizzlies 83
Stumbling in playoff series openers is nothing new for the Memphis Grizzlies.
Of course, they’ve never experienced the kind of fall they did against the San Antonio Spurs in Game 1 of the Western Conference finals.
San Antonio may have left Memphis with a bruised psyche to go with a 105-83 defeat Sunday at the AT&T Center, the Spurs turning the Grizzlies’ strengths into glaring shortcomings with the same smart, disciplined approach that has characterized their four championship runs.
San Antonio negated half of Memphis’ vaunted big-man duo by continually fronting forward Zach Randolph, who finished with more pained expressions than his season-low two points.
The Spurs also made a playoff-high 14 three-pointers against what was presumed to be one of the NBA’s top defenses, including four each by Kawhi Leonard and Matt Bonner and three by Danny Green.
