It’s time for NBA finals Game 5, Eurohoops is reporting from San Antonio and has a soft spot for Europe’s – or at least France – favorite team. See videos from the practices, coach Pop, Tierry Henry and Nando De Colo

As we are heading to Game 5, San Antonio should be in full alert. However, don’t expect coach Popovic to show any sign of it and specially to speak about it. He did answered question after Saturday’s practice but the full transcript was just one page compared to four of coach Erik Spoelstra. Mind you, that the biggest answer of coach Pop was just 20 words.

So we chose to speak with Nando De Colo and ask him about his rookie experience in the NBA finals and also his opinion about the upcoming draft and French prospects, something he probably didn’t expect. Watch his answers.

Before that it was shoot around time, with Manu Ginobili making all his shots. It’s a good sign for him, as the local press expects from him to take charge. “Manu needs to shine”, was one of the headlines.

Miami on the other hand seems to be confident and even players that are not leaving the bench, like James Jones, are hot.

Still, we are at San Antonio’s home court and that was evident among other things by Tony Parker’s good friend, Tierry Henry. He is always near him and his arrengement is that you can take photos, but not quotes. So, here’s a shot of him together with French coach and television commentator Jacques Monclar.
