Go Hornets Go!!!

[Jimcs50]

If the Hornets win at LA tonight, the Spurs get the Lakers this weekend instead of the Kings.

Advantages with playing Lakers:

1. Lakers are not a hot team right now, the Kings are(11wins in last 13 games including a stomping of our Spurs)

2. The Spurs will get more national attention playing in the LA circus-like atmosphere, and will probably start on Sunday, giving the Spurs one more day of rest.

3. Manu and Finley will not have Artest in their shorts the whole game.

4. TD will have it much easier scoring and rebounding against LA's Mihm and Brown, rather than the Kings' Thomas and Miller.

5. Arco is a wild atmosphere and the Kings rarely lose there.

Disadvantages:

1. Bruce will get more worn out and will be more tired in Dallas series because he would have had to guard Kobe for 40 mins a game.

2. Phil Jackson is a dangerous coach in the playoffs, and will have his charges well prepared to play.

3. The Lakers Girls distract the players.

4. The Spurs have been the Lakers' bitches in the playoffs, losing 7 playoff series to them in their history.

You didn't have to include the long-ass post to ensure the jinx. Go Hornets go was good enough ....

Sacramento it is, then .. oh well

[Rick Von Braun]

Damn it Jim... damn it! :spin

[NASpurs]

Geez man..... so when are we playing the Kings?

I did not say"The Hornets are killing the Lakers"

[Melmart1]

Didn't the first incarnation of the banner say Jim was banned? What happened?

You underestimate your powers, Jim.

[nkdlunch]

Either one is fine with me.

Hey, if we're worried about beating either LAL or Sacto, then we have no business thinking about a championship. Bring 'em on.

Who's worried?

The best way to win a championship is to win each series with the least amt of energy expended, especially this year, when Dallas who is the 2nd best team, a team that you usually do not have to play until the conference finals, is waiting. If Dallas sweeps, which they very well could, then it behooves the Spurs to win in 4 or 5 games. This poses the question, who can the Spurs dispatch in 4 or 5 games the easiest?

Get the point now???

^No way Dallas sweeps the Grizz. Am I the only one who thinks the Grizz could make it a tough series for the Mavs?

Nope - I say sex

[NASpurs]

No one is worried, it's just one team is easier than the other. Seriously who really thinks Sacramento is going to beat the Spurs 4 out of 7 games? It won't be easy though beating them in 4 or 5 games... this series might get dragged out a bit... or probably not.. who knows.

[polandprzem]

I mean six. :)

The Mavs in six.

[NASpurs]

Nope - I say sex

I wonder what's on your mind :lol

[1Parker1]

Nope - I say sex


Umm....I say "not interested"?

:lol

[Bruno]

Am I the only one to find that Kings are a better matchup than Lakers ?
Kings have nobody to stop Duncan and Odom can be a nightmare for us.

Go Lakers.

Not really. Sometimes a tough 1st,2nd round series makes the team better and helps in the championship run. For example the tough series vs Nuggets/Sonics are what put us over the top of the Pistons. IMO

:lol

Hmm ... I say "Why"?

[Jimcs50]

Because she wants me and me alone.

And it took 7 games to beat the Pistons and a miracle shot by Horry in game 5 to even have a chance to win the series.
The Spurs were beat up and tired in that Finals.

Look at 99, they had an easy series almost every round so they were dominant and rested in the Finals.

I want to win first series in 4 or 5.

What?
Spusr easily handeled the Suns and that was not a hard and tough series. So have no right to be tired. After Sonics yes but after the suns?

btw speak for yourself Jimcs :drunk

[pwilliam]

The lakers have no chance of stealing more than 1 game from the spurs. So I hope the lakers can finish 8th.

[Sec24Row7]

I would rather play the lakers, just for the fact that Kobe might put up some of the best individual numbers in playoff history in their first round exit and I would like to see a few of the games in person.

:lol U a Lakers fan or a Spurs fan?

[SenorSpur]

I'd love for the Spurs to play for Fakers just to "kick some more shit" onto Phil Jackson's coaching legacy.

R u saying it would have taken us less games to beat the Pistons had we had easy times in the 1st n 2nd rounds???? :lol

this is the first time I've ever heard the excuse that it took us 7 games to beat the pistons because we were tired!

no way

[nkdlunch]

I'll try my best Jimx :D

[rayray2k8]

Does it really matter who the spurs end up playing? It will be the same result.

[arenateam]

I just want the Hornets to stay in OKC...

[Jimcs50]

[TDMVPDPOY]

rubbin booby, NOH is goin to win by a huge margin over the lakers, by 2points

[baseline bum]

I'm with timvp.... 95 taught me to never root for teams.

[ShoogarBear]

Nope - I say sex

The old "English is not my first language" ploy.

That's really my reason too....

Asterisk this!!!!!

David West and Speedy Claxton doubtful....
Projected starting lineup for Hornets includes fill-ins Brandon Bass and Rasual Butler. Marc Jackson and Marcus Fizer are expected to fill in as bigs.

CP3 is great but the Hornets only have one stinger.

[NASpurs]

Good job... 45-24 Lakers according to nba.com

[leemajors]

cmon hornets get within 13

[jiangrong]

I would rather play with Lakers

1.If Spurs play with Lakers, I think that I can watch more games in china.

2.When play with Kings, Manu and Finley have to face Ateste. The possibility of be injured will be more.
