Should be a good test. Division games are important and the Hornets are off to a nice start. Spurs fans get to see RJ vs Ariza as well. Lets hope RJ throttles Ariza and puts the pressure on him.

Spurs really have to rebound and defend the 3 PT line. They must limit turnovers. If they do all of those, I like our chances. CP3 is going to get his. Make him score (even though he is really good at it) and lock everyone else up.

West is usually a thorn in the Spurs side, so Blair must be ready. If not, Pop has got to be ready to go to Dice on him.

I think West will be an extremely difficult cover for Blair. I would think it's very hard for him to match up with a jump shooting big man.

Blair has to walk the fine line between being very physical with West while at the same time not fouling him and putting him on the line (excellent FT shooter). It will be tough, and honestly I am not expecting much, but Blair has so much talent and energy that I am not counting him out.

I agree though, tough and pivotal match up for Blair.

Yep. Given that Blair is a high-energy guy with a lot of enthusiasm, channeling all that appropriately and productively will be very difficult (Maybe that explains the Pacers' game?).

It will be fun (and very interesting) to watch, though. Can't wait.

son we will hang.

- King Paul is healthy and balling his ass off as usual
- David West is playing on both sides of the floor now because this is his contract year
- Belinelli and Ariza are fitting in perfectly and are legit wingmen ... something we haven't had in years
- our bench is solid and the best since the Charlotte days

son its only been 2 games, but I like what I am seeing. the new coach is mixing up the rotations well and I am quickly becoming a fanboy for Belinelli. In recent years we only had 2 players who could create their own shots (King Paul and West), now we have Belinelli, Ariza, and Marcus Thornton who are all legit.

There is ESPN. There is Internet. There is Twitter. There is telegraph. And yet, Tim Duncan hadn't heard of TP's extension until just now.

My keys to the game: Check West and Rebound. So far, not good in either. If this keeps up, it does not look good. Especially combined with extremely poor shooting.

sons yall know King Paul doesn't usually start scoring until the 2nd half ... he's always been that way. trying to get everyone else going.

David West looking strong with 14pts already

Thornton looking good off the bench with 9pts

everyone else needs to step up

HarlemHeat37
10-30-2010, 08:39 PM
Bonner's absence hurting in this game..he usually plays well vs. NO, and Blair is playing terribly..McDyess can't go for long..

Unfortunately, it might lead to some Simmons in the 2nd half..

Spurs Brazil
10-30-2010, 08:39 PM
Terrible finish of the 2nd, not smart D on West, he got a lot of open Js

TD and RJ are MIA. Hill and Blair are terrible.

Manu and TP playing nice. We must improve in the 2nd half

10-30-2010, 08:39 PM
Actually Blair's D on West hasn't been bad...I think West has been scoring mostly on McDyess (that's just an impression...not sure if the stats will back that up)

Spurs Brazil

Spurs FG-35%, 9TOs

DPG21920
10-30-2010, 08:41 PM
Tim is the guy imo who is hurting the Spurs right now. His lack of offense and energy has put the Spurs in a tough spot. They can't score inside with Blair and with Tim playing so poorly, it is up to the perimeter guys to create and Spurs are getting bad looks.

HarlemHeat37
10-30-2010, 08:42 PM
I didn't mind Blair's D, West just owns the Spurs..his offense was horrible though..he needs to be moved out of the starting lineup..

I agree with DPG about Duncan..he's missed some easy shots, and he's settling too much(although that's probably part of the plan for the 1st half of the season, unfortunately)..

Also, Ginobili is taking too many stupid shots..

Pauleta14

Spurs are "ahead" at the half.

Spurs shooting 35%, Hornets shooting 45%, and yet Spurs only down 1.

Duncan is 1-5 - that's not going to last.

Blair by far has been the weakest link. His D has been porous and he has no idea on what to do on offense. He still needs to learn to take the game more seriously. That big smile of his after he screws up just looks like a guy who does not care enough. He should be mad as hell at himself and his inferior play.

BRHornet45

King Paul is on pace to get a triple double ... 7pts, 5 rebounds, 4 assist

Amuseddaysleeper
10-30-2010, 08:44 PM
I hope to see more McDyess on West in the 2nd half. Blair doesn't have a prayer against him right now.

If the Spurs can continue going to the line they should be OK. Just hope Paul doesn't continue to heat up.

DPG21920
10-30-2010, 08:45 PM
Spurs have to rebound. They should be crushing these guys on the glass. They have to force the ball to Tim inside. He has to get going or else everything will be too hard on offense. Even if he is not scoring, he has to facilitate.

If West gets another open look I am going to be sick. Spurs defense just a flood gate right now and the offense is so bad.

Spurs have to get some movement and energy. They need to get the inside game going.
