Parker (hamstring) said Sunday that he feels good and is ready to go for Game 5 after rehabbing "like crazy" over the past two days, the San Antonio Express-News reports.Recommendation: There was no doubt that Parker would keep playing through the hamstring injury, but it sounds like he's made good progress in recent days. He was shut out in the second half of Thursday's Game 4, but Parker's improvement bodes well for the Spurs' chances of taking the crucial Game 5.
