Spurs - Hornets Preview
Gameday: 3/24/12

By KATE HEDLIN

Spurs (31-14) vs. Hornets (12-35)
3.24.12 | 7 PM | New Orleans Arena
TV: FSSW-HD | RD: 1200,1350 (Esp) (Listen)


The San Antonio Spurs had little trouble in their last game despite playing without Tony Parker. A team effort helped in previous matchups against their next opponent as well.

Parker is uncertain for Saturday night's game in New Orleans as the Spurs go for their third win in as many tries against the Hornets this season.

San Antonio continues to battle injuries, but it has won five of six, including its last two.

The Spurs (31-14) got a measure of revenge for their only loss during that six-game span with a 104-87 victory over Dallas on Friday.

Parker sat out with tightness in his left hamstring and backup center Tiago Splitter missed the game with mid-back spasms, but six Spurs players scored in double figures, including two reserves.

"It was a team victory," Manu Ginobili said. "We didn't have Tony. Tony has been leading us the last 40 games. He's been amazing, scoring 30 points in a lot of games, dishing 10 assists, and we didn't have him today. ... It was a great team victory."

Ginobili, starting in place of Parker, finished with 11 points, seven rebounds and seven assists while Danny Green had 18 points, six rebounds and six assists. Stephen Jackson added 10 points and eight rebounds off the bench.

The Spurs also received a lift from newly signed forward Boris Diaw, who played 16 minutes and was effective at limiting Dirk Nowitzki. San Antonio outscored Dallas 50-16 in the paint and had a 54-34 rebounding advantage.

"I thought the overall team defense was pretty good," coach Gregg Popovich said. "That was probably the best part of the game. (Diaw) did a fine job (on defense). No matter who was out there, we were pretty aggressive."

The Spurs may need another team effort if Parker is out again Saturday, although San Antonio has two wins against lowly New Orleans this season despite the absence of Ginobili.

If Parker needs extended time off, Ginobili's health becomes even more critical. After missing 27 of the team's first 36 games, he's played in eight of San Antonio's last nine, averaging 12.3 points and 6.0 assists in that stretch.

The conference-worst Hornets (12-35) will try for rare back-to-back wins after defeating the Los Angeles Clippers 97-90 on Thursday. New Orleans, which completes a three-game homestand Saturday, had lost five in a row at home, but shot 57.6 percent in the victory.

One night after recording a triple-double in a loss to Golden State, Jarrett Jack had 17 points and nine assists against the Clippers while Chris Kaman had a team-high 20 points and 10 rebounds to hurt his former club.

"We just have to keep moving forward," Kaman said. "We've got guys coming back off of injury. ... I'm just excited to play another game. I'm happy to be able to play out here."

Carl Landry, who hasn't played since Feb. 4 because of a left knee injury, is expected back soon, but Jason Smith, who recently returned from a concussion, will miss the next two games after being suspended by the league for a hard foul against the Clippers' Blake Griffin.

Smith had 17 points and eight rebounds Thursday before being ejected for the flagrant 2 foul, which knocked Griffin to the floor.

New Orleans has lost nine of 11 against the Spurs. Tim Duncan has averaged 23.5 points on 17-of-27 shooting in San Antonio's two victories this season.

[Darkwaters]

Thanks for the sticky

[Borosai]

Spurs Win!

[Darkwaters]

kori/LJ,

Can we get a vBookie on this game?

I'm thinking either:

1) What will Boris Diaw's +/- be?

2) How many points will the Spurs bench score?

[Pauleta14]

Any news about Parker?

Is he playing tonight?

[Anonymous Cowherd]

am I right in thinking no Kaman tonight?

[SpursRock20]

am I right in thinking no Kaman tonight?

Kaman out.
Landry in.

[ace3g]

Jeff McDonald ‏ @JMcDonald_SAEN

Close

Gary Neal (mid foot sprain) is also out. Suffered injury in the Dallas game and is a late scratch.

--

I knew he did something to his foot...

[NASpurs]

Neal and Manu are out so I'm guessing that means that Tony is going to play...?

[ElNono]

Go Spurs Go! :flag:

[crc21209]

Wow what the fuck. Suck it up Neal you pussy. :lol On another note though he did play like crap last night so maybe this is good news for us tonight...

[crc21209]

JMcDonald_SAEN

Chris Kaman (illness), Trevor Ariza (ankle), Emeka Okafor (knee) and Jason Smith (suspension) are out for New Orleans.

[crc21209]

Tony is playing tonight.

No Manu, Tiago, Duncan, Splitter. Neal questionable, lol.

Neal out means our defense improves.

Tim is playing....

JMcDonald_SAEN

Tim Duncan will also play tonight, though Pop says it's almost certain he will sit Sunday against Philly.

[spectator]

JMcDonald_SAEN

Chris Kaman (illness), Trevor Ariza (ankle), Emeka Okafor (knee) and Jason Smith (suspension) are out for New Orleans.

who will guard the pain(t) for nola? our bigs should dominate and our wings should penetrate with no fear.

[crc21209]

Fuck that dipshit cuntshit better not be, the Philly home game is the one my mom picked out 2 months ago to be announced as teacher of the year so we're going and plus it's David's Military night so he better not miss it.

It happens man. That's what happens when you pick a game 2 months before. It happens to me all the time. :lol I went January 5th this year against Dallas and I had bought them a month before. Manu was out that game too....

[spectator]

Fuck that dipshit cuntshit better not be, the Philly home game is the one my mom picked out 2 months ago to be announced as teacher of the year so we're going and plus it's David's Military night so he better not miss it.

yeah man, b/c your mom's entertainment is more important than the spurs' health. f-ing ridiculous.

btw, congrats to your mom. that's a cool award.

Edit: my bad - i did not realize you were talking about your mom

[jeebus]

Fuck that dipshit cuntshit better not be, the Philly home game is the one my mom picked out 2 months ago to be announced as teacher of the year so we're going and plus it's David's Military night so he better not miss it.

fuk yo moms award clown

[crc21209]

It was free, but I would never have picked a Sunday game or a game on the third night of a back-to-back-to-back. Stupid ignorant cuntshit, she could have asked me in advance or at least checked the fucking schedule. Nïggerfuck.

Damn well if it's free just enjoy it then...:lol

[freetiago]

wow feel bad for people who are paying to go see this game
both teams basically will be playing players 5-13 the whole game

[Anonymous Cowherd]

dammit Manu and Kaman are both in my fantasy side.


luckily, so is Kawhi Leonard :)

[Pelicans78]

Oh yeah! Let's do this.

[Anonymous Cowherd]

your avatar/username interaction confuses me.

[crc21209]

Oh god Andrew Monaco. He is boring as hell. At least Sean is there this time...:lol

[foodie2]

Oh god Andrew Monaco. He is boring as hell. At least Sean is there this time...:lol

Oh no. Andrew Monaco is the absolute worst. Sean better liven it up or I'm going to be asleep by halftime.

[Robz4000]

Was thinking this would be a surrender game for the Spurs, but holy crap it looks like there'll be a chance to win this. If the game gets out of hand early I hope Pop sits Timmy and uses him tomorrow.

[DarkGinobili]

:flag:

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Anyone have any clue if Tim, Tony, or Manu will sit Tuesday @ Phoenix? I have a chance to get 2nd row behind Spurs bench for a decent price, but if they aren't going to play I don't know if it's worth it?

[Spurs Brazil]

Hornets call. damn

[timvp]

"Suddenly, we're stacked." - Sean Elliott



:hat

[Spurs Brazil]

Los Spurs?

[siraulo23]

Hornets call. damn

mute mute... :depressed

[Manu20]

"Suddenly, we're stacked." - Sean Elliott



:hat

lol u beat me to it!! Does Sean visits spurstalk?? :wow

[loveforthegame]

Go Spurs!!

[timvp]

Wow, the Hornets starting lineup ... don't even know what to say.

[benefactor]

Spurs win easily.

[benefactor]

lol Leonard scoring 5 on 1

[timvp]

There goes Leonard's FG% :lol

[Cry Havoc]

Leonard on pace for about 300 rebounds this game.

[angelbelow]

What a beast.

[timmike2]

Wow kawhi beasting already

[Chachachango]

How many rebounds did Kawhi get on that first play? lol

[Cry Havoc]

Spurs are looking scary early on.

[Cry Havoc]

Blair with a SWEET move.

[benefactor]

Scoring at will right now.

[Spurs Brazil]

Good job Blair

[jermaine]

I change that we should keep Blair. Lmmfao

[Chachachango]

Ah snap, is that a Mexican?

[Cry Havoc]

Spurs continue their recent dominance in the paint.

[benefactor]

Damn Green...

It's hard to believe how horrible of a finisher he is...especially with how well rounded he is.

[Cry Havoc]

And we SHOULD be up 10 right now but for blown layups.

[timvp]

Blair's defense really good so far.

Leonard and Green not finishing well.

Parker looks fine.

Ayon already looks tired.

[loveforthegame]

Blair having a nice start.

[benefactor]

I change that we should keep Blair. Lmmfao
Not much resistance tonight tbh.

[Manu-20]

good start for spurs could of been better missed some easy shots but overall like the effort they are putting on D so far

[PBEEZY]

This is the type of game we should play Blair 40 mins in and let him stat pad..He performs really well against scrub teams

[benefactor]

Spurs should be up by double digits soon. They aren't going to miss those open looks at the rim all night long.

[ace3g]

if anything Diaw will keep Blair and Bonner motivated

[Splits]

The Hornets can barely field an NBA team. I bet we could have beat them w/o TP, TD, and Jax tonight.

[TwelveGs210]

I change that we should keep Blair. Lmmfao

You are what gives a GNSF a bad name bro.

[timvp]

Blair with a quick switch? What's going on?

[jermaine]

Not much resistance tonight tbh.

We have had problems in the past beating teams we're suppose to beat!

[ace3g]

can't wait for the French Connection

[jermaine]

Now if Jack do us Imma kill someone

[loveforthegame]

I don't understand why Duncan is even playing tonight.

[Sense]

Jack always burns us.. Blair just doing circus shots when he's surrounded by bigs, it's really fraustrating.

[Splits]

Poor TD, he looks exhausted after 30+ last night.

[Cry Havoc]

Blair destroying the Bees.

[benefactor]

They are really just going through the motions offensively right now.

[timvp]

Blair beasting. Parker five assists on first six baskets? Is that right?

[benefactor]

Blair could have a 20/20 game tonight.

[Cry Havoc]

DeJuan being motivated by the presence of Diaw, perhaps?

[ViceCity84]

Blair is Josh Howard of Spurs
Plays great in 1st quarter.Tanks rest of the game.

[jermaine]

Thank god Jason smith ain't playin

[Spurs Brazil]

Defense is bad after the timeout

[Splits]

I can't remember the last time I saw a rookie produce as consistently as KL. It's really incredible, the poise and the rock mentality. Without a summer league or training camp to boot.

[Kuestmaster]

C'mon Timmy... Play more than at 25%

[loveforthegame]

Always have one guy on the other team that likes to light the Spurs up. Ugh.

[timvp]

Bonner looks like his back is hurting him.

Hopefully Duncan doesn't have to play more than 15-20 minutes tonight. He doesn't look like he has much energy.

[siraulo23]

jarret jack is already on fire, hopefully he cools down

[Nathan89]

DeJuan being motivated by the presence of Diaw, perhaps?

I think the rest of the team doesn't really want to play this game... So they'll just feed Blair for awhile.

[timvp]

I'd almost throw a trap at Jack. Who else is going to score on that team?

[roycrikside]

Having 18 pts at this stage with none from Parker or Duncan and none from three pointers is pretty impressive. The defense, not so much.

[ace3g]

Dentmon, JA, Bonner, SJAX, TD

[jag]

What a depressing arena.

[ace3g]

Dentmon, JA, Bonner, SJAX, Diaw crazy line up

[Libri]

Dentmon, JA, Bonner, SJAX, TD

I want to see what Dentmon can do. :hungry:

[Kuestmaster]

b2b are killing duncan stats this year. He looks totally different when he doesn't have rest

[benefactor]

Sleepwalking tbh.

[Texas_Ranger]

looking like shit...

[Manu-20]

dam not a great quater here hopefully 2nd we pick up our energy level

[loveforthegame]

Spurs might want to wake up.

[ViceCity84]

Landry just blew by Diaw like nothing.

[Splits]

LOL @ the Hornets announcer thinking Duncan is going to play tomorrow night

[benefactor]

Wow...nobody can finish.

[jag]

I want to see what Dentmon can do. :hungry:

Yeah, I'd rather not.

[Libri]

good pass by Dentmon

[loveforthegame]

Ugly game. :lol

[benefactor]

Nice awareness by Dentmon

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

Great pass from Jackson

[Cry Havoc]

Wooo Dentmon scored!

[ViceCity84]

Dentmon looks solid.

[Kuestmaster]

Hey Bonner you can jump for a rebound. Or at least try to go after it

[NASpurs]

Dentmon, JA, Bonner, SJAX, TD

If I said in the beginning of the season that those guys would be on the floor during some point of the season, people would have thought I was smoking some crazy shit. Well edit Diaw in there.

[Splits]

Forget the Dentmon score, he took a beautiful charge.

[Cry Havoc]

MmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmBUCKETS

[Chachachango]

This game feels strange.

[ace3g]

SJAX for 3, not really going to take anything from this game, with these type of line ups

[benefactor]

lol

This is some of the ugliest ball I've ever seen.

[loveforthegame]

Dentmon looks pretty good.

[Kuestmaster]

Everybody is scared to take a shot except Jack. Nice three Buckets

[Spurs Brazil]

Jax 33333333

[Manu-20]

Demnton looking soild and great way for the spurs to close the quater

[roycrikside]

This is gonna be an ugly, ragged game. Sean is saying the team might not have brought enough appropriate fear. More like they haven't brought enough health, talent and legs.

[jermaine]

Is it me or does the refs have their whistle in their dam pockets on the Spurs end of the court.

[siraulo23]

jackson is awesome...

[benefactor]

SJAX for 3, not really going to take anything from this game, with these type of line ups
Yeah...this is almost a glorified practice.

[8FOR!3]

Dentmon passes up open shot after open shot, Stephen Jackson has a hand in his face and shoots it like it was his to shoot. :lol Makin love to the pressure!

[DJB]

Where's Neal?

Wtf is with this line up.

[Nathan89]

SJAX for 3, not really going to take anything from this game, with these type of line ups

and with this type of energy

[timvp]

Dentmon obviously more NBA ready than Joseph. Not saying Dentmon is an NBA level player but he at least helps out a little bit.

[Libri]

so far so good for Dentmon

[Spurs Brazil]

Dentmon has some open looks. Needs to shoot.

I think I'll need to get used to Diaw. He had a layup but decided to pass. But he's playing well

[Chachachango]

Oooooooooh man, those shrimps look good.

[Splits]

Where's Neal?

Wtf is with this line up.

Neal's out with a knee, hopefully nothing serious. This lineup is the shit, I can't stop laughing.

[Fermixalot]

lmfao eating some shrimp during the broadcast in front of empty seats.

[ace3g]

Diaw nice pass to JA for dunk

[Kuestmaster]

Diaw has great passing and vision

[Splits]

Dentmon has some open looks. Needs to shoot.


I'm guessing that's the first thing Pop said to him when he got to the bench.

[ace3g]

Diaw with the hockey assist

[Cry Havoc]

:lmao giving Bonner space.

[benefactor]

Bonner sees scrubs...drains 3.

[ace3g]

yeah did you guys see Bonner all pissed when he didn't get a pass earlier when SJAX knocked down the 3

[Cry Havoc]

:lmao Tony winning a jumpball.

[Cry Havoc]

Hornets hitting bullshit shots tbh

[benefactor]

Anderson giving good minutes.

[roycrikside]

Got away with Diaw in the key for like 5 seconds on that Anderson basket.

[ace3g]

Diaw throwing some nice passes

[Cry Havoc]

I was wrong about Diaw. That dude is a MONSTER.

[benefactor]

One of the most uninspired games I've watched all year so far.

[Spurs Brazil]

Diaw playing well

[cheguevara]

Grievis abusing Parker per the usual

[8FOR!3]

Diaw understands the game of basketball like few others. I don't know how motivated he is in the gym, but when he's out on the court he's trying to help his team win.

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

yeah did you guys see Bonner all pissed when he didn't get a pass earlier when SJAX knocked down the 3

Yeah, I wasn't sure if anyone else saw that. When he saw Jack taking the 3, he flung his arm down and spun around like a drama queen.

[Manu-20]

dam parker getting killed on D

[Manu20]

Diaw puts the pass right on the money

[siraulo23]

diaw is playing really well

but NO is getting too many open shots

[Kuestmaster]

Diaw banging more in the paint in 2 games than Bonner in 5 years

[Stalin]

you know its a fact, that pop's got a hard on right now, with both of his floor spreaders out there, diaw+ginger

[loveforthegame]

Waiting for the moment when the Spurs wake up and take care of business.

[benefactor]

Parker could win this game by himself if he wanted to...but he seems content to let it play out. He probably coasts then puts his foot on the gas in the 4th.

[GB20]

the hornet came to play tonight

[Chachachango]

That blind ball game looks a lot more entertaining than tonight's game.

[benefactor]

the hornet came to play tonight
More like the visiting team didn't.

[jermaine]

They just tried to run the RJ allyhoop play with Leonard.

[Cry Havoc]

Have the Hornets missed a shot from 16-22?

[Kuestmaster]

worst team in the league scoring against us at will... Lol

[siraulo23]

what is this ilp? i cant understand spanish

[Chachachango]

Lazy ball.

[boutons_deux]

Spurs killed on the boards, 10 -18.

[loveforthegame]

Hope the Spurs don't come out playing like this against Philly tomorrow. Yikes.

[mystargtr34]

Hornets look like they are making an effort to run Leonard through screens. Working for them so far.

[timvp]

Weird to say but the Spurs really can't afford to lose this game.

[Manu-20]

Spurs are sleepwalking this game they need to wake up and win this thing

[GB20]

worst team in the league scoring against us at will... Lol

they have nothing to loose

[Texas_Ranger]

they are playing without their best players and we are sleeping... pathetic

[roycrikside]

These guys need to find some energy. Even the youngsters look gassed. Tomorrow against Philly's athletes might be ugly.

[siraulo23]

Hornets look like they are making an effort to run Leonard through screens. Working for them so far.

both leonard and green have trouble maneuvering around screens

[MR.SILVER&BLack]

spurs just coasting. every time TP, tim, jackson, & Diaw get the ball they all look to get the youngins going.

[Libri]

what crappy defense

[Chachachango]

Ah shit, Spurs gonna get it.

[loveforthegame]

Leonard having a hard time finishing around the basket.

[Kuestmaster]

That Hornets center is so ugly

[quentin_compson]

Wow, the defense is so pathetic it's almost funny.

[ace3g]

SJAX and 1

[jermaine]

they are playing without their best players and we are sleeping... pathetic

Pop shouldn't say much at halftime but, seriously are you'll serious right now.

[mystargtr34]

Stating the obvious but the Spurs really miss Tiago.. on both ends.

[jermaine]

Stak5 needs to play more!

[siraulo23]

buckets and 1

[MR.SILVER&BLack]

Leonard having a hard time finishing around the basket.
everytime hes under the basket all 5 hornets are on top of him swinging wild for blocks

[loveforthegame]

So nice to see Jackson attack the basket every game.

[Spurs Brazil]

Jack is killing us

[roycrikside]

This defense is abysmal. With some of the guys they have on the floor not hard to understand why.

[8FOR!3]

Belinelli can dunk? :lol

[Texas_Ranger]

spurs are really playing very, very bad...

[Manu20]

Spurs defense is getting torched by the worst offense in the league! :(

[Manu-20]

just a pathetic effort on the spurs part they need to pick up the energy in the 2ndhalf if we are going to have a chance to win this one

[Spurs Brazil]

Spurs awful defense

[mystargtr34]

Diaw :lol.. he hates shooting around the basket.

[BRHornet45]

That Dude Grande Beli with the slam!

Should have been and 1

[Spurs Brazil]

Hornets FG: 58%

[AusSpur]

Belinelli can dunk? :lol

It takes him 3 steps to do it.

[GB20]

if we are tired tonight then tomorrow we are going to be crawling at the at&t.

[Sense]

Why does Jack hate us so much? :lol He's always done great against us.

[MR.SILVER&BLack]

i think they really have no idea who to guard. half the guys that have played for the hornets so far i have said who the hell is that.

[benefactor]

They'll coast and pull away late.

[Manu20]

That Dude Grande Beli with the slam!

Should have been and 1

Sons the hornets are going to get baptized in the second half! :toast

[BRHornet45]

Sons Beli always slams em down every game. LOL Duncan travels every other possession.

[Keepin' it real]

Is that Chris Rock's uncle?

[quentin_compson]

Well, let's hope they stay in the game and turn it up a notch or two in the second half.

[roycrikside]

Lane wide open on drives to the basket for Hornets.

[Texas_Ranger]

Jack is in Jordan mode right now...

[BRHornet45]

Sons the hornets are going to get baptized in the second half! :toast

Son Grande Beli hasn't even got started yet. I feel for y'all in the second half.

[loveforthegame]

Spurs better eat some spinach to be ready to go tomorrow.

[Kuestmaster]

If we were playing against a decent team we'd be down by 15

[MR.SILVER&BLack]

Sons Beli always slams em down every game. LOL Duncan travels every other possession.
you at the game tonight BR?

[loveforthegame]

Amazing how well Jackson and Diaw have fit in with the team.

[benefactor]

Glad that WNBA of a half is over.

[roycrikside]

Could be worse. Down 1 at half and Parker played in 1st gear. He'll turn it up when he has to. I think they've taken Jack's best shot.

[jermaine]

It's great that he knows when to give up the ball an who to give it to. Jackson that is! Green thinks he's a real pg at times.

[loveforthegame]

Down 1 at the half. Not bad considering the way the Spurs have played.

[Spurs Brazil]

Playing terrible but only down one. Better wake up in the 2nd half. Must do a better job on Jack

[Warlord23]

42% shooting, letting the Bees shoot 52% .. forgettable half but they're just down by 1

[DBMethos]

Enough toying around. Put away this scrub team before they start to get delusions about winning.

[siraulo23]

hornets shot 54% and spurs down by 1? i'll take it

....

....

i guess

[Manu-20]

good to see the spurs actully pick up their effort to end the half now put this team away in the 3rd

[roycrikside]

Blair saved 'em in the first half. This game could've gotten really one-sided quickly without him. He made some mistakes defensively, but overall more good than bad.

[boutons_deux]

Spurs 42% - 57%

[BRHornet45]

And to think we don't have Kaman or Ariza.

Kaman would destroy Duncan

[Pelicans78]

Spurs struggling with the Hornets 3rd stringers?

[Manu20]

good to see the spurs actully pick up their effort to end the half now put this team away in the 3rd

U tried to steal my screen name?? :lol

[cheguevara]

And to think we don't have Kaman or Ariza.

Kaman would destroy Duncan

yes. good thinking bro. Kaman > Duncan :downspin:

[Pelicans78]

And to think we don't have Kaman or Ariza.

Kaman would destroy Duncan

Or Jason Smith, Okafor, Gordon. No problem for our 3rd stringers.

[mystargtr34]

Whats up with Okafor Kaman and Ariza?.. and is Gordon ever going to fucking play again?

[Manu-20]

U tried to steal my screen name?? :lol
No I didnt mean to I go to another spurs blog and have the same screen name is use here should of figured though there be a ton of manu screen names on this site lol

[Manu20]

And to think we don't have Kaman or Ariza.

Kaman would destroy Duncan

My boy Manu would have gone wild right about now......lets not forget Tiago scoring in the paint. No worries here tho the two frenchmens are going to lead the spurs to victory! :hat

[Budkin]

Spurs will take control by the 4th. Book it.

[Manu20]

No I didnt mean to I go to another spurs blog and have the same screen name is use here should of figured though there be a ton of manu screen names on this site lol

Haha just messing with you welcome to the forum :toast I got my screen name way back in 2004 :hat

[spurs1990]

Or Jason Smith, Okafor, Gordon. No problem for our 3rd stringers.

One game don't mean jack son.

You think NO can beat the Spurs in a 7 game series?

[timvp]

I'd be in favor of a Manu20 vs Manu-20 feud, tbh :tu

[roycrikside]

I disagree. He was the main culprit in the Hornets' second quarter barrage in the paint. Much rather would have Tiago.

Well obviously would rather Tiago. But the point is he isn't available so somebody had to step up.

[MR.SILVER&BLack]

so when does parker pull his finger out his ass and actually takes a shot attempt?

[roycrikside]

Looks like Ohio St in FF.

[BRHornet45]

Sons hopefully another bounty was thrown down at half time. Duncan better watch out.

[MR.SILVER&BLack]

Sons hopefully another bounty was thrown down at half time. Duncan better watch out.
no worries. the real Captain Jacks back in silver & black.

[timvp]

There's not much to say about this game other than the Spurs have to bring more energy in the second half. They have a sizable talent advantage, they just gotta get it done.

[GSH]

Doubt it. Whorenets win going away, called it here first

New Orleans is 10-14 when leading at the half. I'll take my chances with the Spurs, thanks.

[roycrikside]

Leonard on Jack to open second half.

[Libri]

Sons hopefully another bounty was thrown down at half time. Duncan better watch out.

Son, did you see that D-League player, Dentmon, play pretty good against your Hornets?

[loveforthegame]

Blair has stepped up tonight. :tu

[GSH]

Oh, and the Hornets are 3-27 when behind at the end of the third. If the Spurs come out hard in the third, it's all but over.
