Spurs @ Hornets Game 1 Blog

[peskypesky]

Parker has to take it at CP3 more

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Eva needs to share whatever she did to Tony before his 41 point game with Amy Duncan before game 2. If Tim were playing any softer he'd be eligible to change his name to Dirk.

[Rummpd]

What a bad defensive rebound effort.

[peskypesky]

it's Manu time!!

[Rummpd]

Manu is going to get it going.

[boutons_]

fuck Tim go get the fucking RB off the floor!!

[WildcardManu]

right back at ya cp3, ginobili said.

[TampaDude]

The Spurs are losing this game because they are getting SLAUGHTERED on the boards...

[davemaniscool]

c'mon Spurs. start taking NO seriously. You have detroit's passiveness.

[Radiosparks]

Take over Manu!

[TDfan2007]

We FINALLY get a call...Oh and some D wouldn't hurt right now. Everyone just watched as Peterson got that offensive board.

[peskypesky]

Tim Duncan!!! Where The F Are You???????

[sting]

Yeah, the ref's are one way. Manu just got a gift.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

STFU Reggie you dumb shit. he goes right enough to open up his left.

[Rummpd]

Duncan has to get going.

[TDfan2007]

Bruce hasn't even been close on his last couple of threes. He's gone cold.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Apparently Paul just needs to get close to a Spur and yell and he gets the call.

[td4mvp21]

Um, no one touched the NBA darling on that one...

[01Snake]

Where was the fucking foul??

[WildcardManu]

paul pushed TP off him

[TDfan2007]

Tim Duncan!!! Where The F Are You???????

in SA...

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Spurs can't even BREATHE on Paul! Give me a fucking break!!!

[td4mvp21]

Duncan hacked again and no call! Dumb cunts.

[Rummpd]

Parker is great.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Once again, when the double comes WHY NO CUTTERS?????

This is amazing to me. We could be getting layup after layup.

[WildcardManu]

no foul called yet to send TD to line

[TDfan2007]

Fuck Tim Go Up Strong!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Duncan with an awkward drive and miss looking for a call. Nut up TD.

[Radiosparks]

Oh but if that was West it would have been called a foul. A joke!

[TampaDude]

Parker keeping us in this game...

[Rummpd]

He was clobbered.

[td4mvp21]

What The Fuck?!?! Ginobili Got Pushed. This Game Is Fucking Rigged Bitches

[SpurOutofTownFan]

wow they are getting cocky!!

[SoCalSpursFan]

This offense is making me throw up a little in my mouth.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

This is pathetic. O and D.

And Duncan can't get a rebound.

[td4mvp21]

Fuck these refs.

[The other side]

Lakers vs Hornets :lmao

[peskypesky]

Tim must be injured.

[Budkin]

This is not good... we can't get a break and CP3 is pwning us.

[carina_gino20]

what does TD have to do to get a call?

[Capt Bringdown]

This is seriously looking like a loss.

[WildcardManu]

Reggie said nothing because he had another orgasm

[Princess Pimp]

Not satisfied with the Hack-a-Shaq, Popazit is now using the Hack-a-Tyson with ovbiously no results whatsoever...

This is the reason America hates your guts, you are killing the sport of basketabll with such a stupid tactic...

Slowing down the game like this is horrendous, I Hope David Stern is taking notes and change the rules regarding this cheap-ass trick.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Paul talking shit to Bowen. BOwen bumps Paul. Probably suspended for the series now.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Can't Even Breath On The Fucker!!

[td4mvp21]

And fuck the Hornets too. Pampered, chippy bitches.

[Radiosparks]

CP3 is a punk!

[Amuseddaysleeper]

ugh

come on Spurs

If we still lose a game after hitting 9 3's in a half then we are REALLY screwed.

[Don Quixote]

A dreadful 3d Q. They need to tighten down the D.

[sting]

What The Fuck?!?! Ginobili Got Pushed. This Game Is Fucking Rigged Bitches

Yeah Right, what a whining bitch. Do you know how stupid you sound saying it's rigged. I guess the NBA rigged it so SA would win the Championship 4 times.

[Budkin]

We need to play like fucking champs!

[Spurologist]

TD should have bought a ticket. Pussy ball all game long

[SpurAddict561]

Really, fuck Tim duncan tonight

he needs to get his fucking head out of his ass already

[WildcardManu]

I'm glad that skinny bitch reggie miller could never beat jordan

[TampaDude]

If Tim Duncan ever decides to show up for this game, the Spurs may actually win...

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Tim must be injured.

No need to make excuses for him, he's just playing like a pussy.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

What are we, 0/7 from 3 in the second half??? It had to happen, just as I said, but we haven't found another way to score.

IMHO, Pop is being outcoached here. You have to run cutters down the middle of the lane on every Tim double, and it hasn't happened even ONCE. Pathetic.

[Kriz-Maxima]

Cp dont be a bitch

[mystargtr34]

this is bullshit

[TDfan2007]

This is the WORST quarter I've seen from the Spurs since the 1st quarter of game 3 against PHX. Simply pathetic. Tim playing like a 5th grader. Bruce going cold. Only Tony and Manu are in this. And don't even get me started on the D...

[SpurOutofTownFan]

i laugh when they get cocky

[Quiet Strength]

Put Barry in

[SoCalSpursFan]

The Spurs are playing horrible and are still in the game. I am not really worried about this series but we can't lay eggs like this vs LA

[Budkin]

Timmy needs to go strong... they can't fucking guard him.

[td4mvp21]

The officiating totally changed this game, sad to say. The Spurs can't play defense because they keep getting called for fouls, while New Orleans is allowed to hack the fuck out of us.

[Admidave50]

Paul is fucking comedian

[ChumpDumper]

I guess the NBA rigged it so SA would win the Championship 4 times.True enough. They simply didn't pay Stern enough this season.

[boutons_]

13 pt qtr, typical Spurs disappearance.

Can they close the gap to finish the 3rd?

We can get this game, Tim has to show up.

Spurs RB 19 - 27

[Spurs Brazil]

If we don't hit open shots this game is over

[sting]

CP3 is a punk!

Yeah, and Bowen is a model citizen. You want some cheese with that wine.

[peskypesky]

what does TD have to do to get a call?

how about show up for the fucking game?

[WildcardManu]

Really, fuck Tim duncan tonight

he needs to get his fucking head out of his ass already

Fuck you bitch, because of him you got that pic of manu kissing the trophy.

[Budkin]

At least we get to watch Chandler mean mug.

[td4mvp21]

Yeah Right, what a whining bitch. Do you know how stupid you sound saying it's rigged. I guess the NBA rigged it so SA would win the Championship 4 times.

Um, the Hornets have been hacking the Spurs and no whistles have been blown. Go jack off to Chris Paul with Reggie Miller.

[m33p0]

outside shooting has abandoned the spurs. i think duncan still with only 3 pts. :depressed

[Quiet Strength]

The officiating totally changed this game, sad to say. The Spurs can't play defense because they keep getting called for fouls, while New Orleans is allowed to hack the fuck out of us.

Yeah I think so too but the spurs cant put their heads down and accept it.. at least go out with a fight

[itzsoweezee]

horry's not contributing anything

[Capt Bringdown]

i laugh when they get cocky
Why?
They're kickin' our butts out there.

[ballhog]

Those double teams are confusing Timmy. He needs to wake up. CP3 is a little bitch, too.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

What are we, 0/7 from 3 in the second half??? It had to happen, just as I said, but we haven't found another way to score.

IMHO, Pop is being outcoached here. You have to run cutters down the middle of the lane on every Tim double, and it hasn't happened even ONCE. Pathetic.

Don't let Tpark read your post, Pop can do no wrong, just ask him.

[Whisky Dog]

The Spurs are playing weak, especially on defense. You know they are going to get the calls in their own house, so you have to come out strong to beat them. Too many mental errors and letting the shitty officiating getting in their heads. Shrug it off and focus.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

problem here is O, Tim can't buy a basket - if they spurs hit their shots, that has a huge impact on hornets and they start playing ugly. D is decent enough but you can't let them run and go away - the spurs need to hit their shots and be on range.

[hitmanyr2k]

What are we, 0/7 from 3 in the second half??? It had to happen, just as I said, but we haven't found another way to score.

Many times Duncan isn't getting doubled and he's still either passing it or throwing up weaksauce stuff. This isn't the same Duncan that was going strong against Phoenix. He needs to get aggressive and go towards the rim instead of fading away at awkward angles expecting to get bailed.

[dbreiden83080]

Spurs got no shot with Timmy playing this bad

[01Snake]

Yeah, and Bowen is a model citizen. You want some cheese with that wine.

FAIL

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

This game is not rigged. The NBA, believe it or not, doesn't rig games.

We are simply being outcoached and outplayed right now.

[SoCalSpursFan]

how about show up for the fucking game?

true that.

[SPARKY]

Yeah, and Bowen is a model citizen. You want some cheese with that wine.

Oh look, a long time Hornets fan. *guffaw*

[td4mvp21]

Pop hasn't made any adjustments. That never helps.

[ChumpDumper]

I would like cheese with wine.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Those double teams are confusing Timmy. He needs to wake up. CP3 is a little bitch, too.

Why do people keep making excuses for Tim? He's played like a pussy before when teams throw multiple bigs at him who play physical. This is just another one of those nights.

[TheAffricanFan]

Boring...

[peskypesky]

why is Pop not trying some other players, like Barry and Bonner and Udoka?

[WildcardManu]

what a joke CP3 is becoming

[m33p0]

Yeah, and Bowen is a model citizen. You want some cheese with that whine.
-fixed it for yah, playoff n00b.

[td4mvp21]

And fuck Chris Paul. I hate that fucker even more now.

[td4mvp21]

Only down 8, though.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

We should just do Hack A Paul

[Allanon]

It's not the refs, it's not the D, it's the freakin' O.

Wide open shots are being missed.
Manu trying to draw foul too much

And when you miss a wide open shot, usually that leads to a fast break on the other end.

[T Park]

Don't let Tpark read your post, Pop can do no wrong, just ask him.


I would've agreed, but since your head is firmly up ass as always...

[Rummpd]

Thank God for TP

[TDfan2007]

well...we're only down 8 and this is as badly as we can possibly play. Not bad. Oh down 6 now...

[WildcardManu]

Fucking Call A Foul, Parker Gets Pulled

[hsxvvd]

Come on finish up the quarter big!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Right now the two biggest problems are that Duncan is playing like a pussy and Pop hasn't adjusted to the NO defense.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Don't let Tpark read your post, Pop can do no wrong, just ask him.

AHF, do you agree with me? Why no cutters? Cutters off low double = easy baskets.

[TampaDude]

Spurs got no shot with Timmy playing this bad

+1 Spurs should be leading right now...TD is nonexistent in this game...

[peskypesky]

Pop, try Udoka on West

[Rummpd]

needed that 3.

[SoCalSpursFan]

Anyone else noticing that west is OWNING US.

this Q needs to end.

[TDfan2007]

NOBODY can hit a 3 right now...

[td4mvp21]

Parker fouled by Chandler, AGAIN no call. What do the Spurs have to do to get a call?

[Rummpd]

Why no Udoka?

[hsxvvd]

We could do with some offensive boards of our own... or hit some fucking shots....

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

I would've agreed, but since your head is firmly up ass as always...

So now you're defending pop just because you don't want take the same side as me? Wow, that's pretty mature.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Where's Brent Barry??? Get him in there.

[WildcardManu]

man those hornet bigs play really clean under our basket, no fouls

[peskypesky]

CP3 STILL only has 3 fouls? Pop!!!

[boutons_]

Damn, spurs are stone cold in 3rd

[TDfan2007]

David West is telling our bigs to bend over...

[td4mvp21]

Another foul. Another no call.

[peskypesky]

Pop, please put Barry and Udoka in

[TampaDude]

This is a loss...hang on, Spurs fans...we 'bout ta get blown out...

[td4mvp21]

What was Ginobili thinking on that shot?

[TDfan2007]

wtf kind of shot was that Manu?

[Bulwark]

No we're missing everything

[Amuseddaysleeper]

daaaaaaaaaaamn

Spurs offense undoing them again

[SoCalSpursFan]

Damn, spurs are stone cold in 3rd

http://www.s9.com/images/portraits/1433_Austin-Steve.jpg

[boutons_]

Manu's 3s aren't even close

[Budkin]

Why a 3 there? I don't understand.

[hsxvvd]

Fuck... even Manu is not 'Manu'ing it tonight

[td4mvp21]

Guess what CP3 bitchass, you didn't get bailed out. Fucking bitch.

[Capt Bringdown]

Terrible, quick shot.

[WildcardManu]

this is sad, i blame the 19 minute delay, i blame the refs for calling bullshit calls

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Where is Udoka?

I also don't like Oberto being in the game, he is gonna get killed

[boutons_]

3rd qtr no show, fuck

[Budkin]

Man Manu has been totally off since that unplanned delay.

[Guajalote]

Foul calls that quarter anybody?

[hsxvvd]

ouch... not looking good.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

man i look at Dwest hitting from everywhere with hands all over his face and it fucking pisses me off duncan cant buy a bucket - it has been fucking horrible. Of course they are gong to double team you - but you need to man up dude

[td4mvp21]

It would be nice if Pop made ANY adjustment at all on offense.

[dbreiden83080]

Many times Duncan isn't getting doubled and he's still either passing it or throwing up weaksauce stuff. This isn't the same Duncan that was going strong against Phoenix. He needs to get aggressive and go towards the rim instead of fading away at awkward angles expecting to get bailed.

HE just looks totally out of rythm to me. They doubled him and then when he had a few looks he missed and then he stopped being agressive. It is like he knows his shot is just not there tonight,

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

AHF, do you agree with me? Why no cutters? Cutters off low double = easy baskets.


I agree with you. The problem is Popazit saw Bowen hit a couple of threes and thought he'd keep it up so he didn't make any adjustments at halftime.

So now we're getting our ass kicked because of his arrogance and Tim Duncan playing vagina ball.

Pop needs to pull his fucking head out. It's clear that Byron Scott has chosen to go with the old school LA Laker defensive strategy of hard doubles on Tim and see if we can beat them from outside.

The sucky thing is Pop never figured that shit out either, just kept on doing the same stupid shit and relying on the same stupid senior citizen role players to carry us or bury us.

Dude needs to wake the hell up or we're going to get Lakered.

[sting]

Guess what CP3 bitchass, you didn't get bailed out. Fucking bitch.

Boo Hoo, cry baby cry

[Budkin]

I'm glad Timmy has 1 FUCKING BASKET!

[reck21]

We'll storm them in the fourth.

The Hornets are trying so hard and they're only ahead like by 8.

We came back twisce from 15+ points with the Suns. We can certainly come back from an 8 point lead.

[Don Quixote]

Are we sure West has only 24 pts?

It feels like he's going Kobe on us tonight.

Only down 8 going into the 4th, however. It's not over yet.

[possessed]

Oberto is a stiff. Would it kill them to get a decent big man to compliment Tim?

[jmard5]

Wow @ Manu.

[Spurologist]

What player has this stat line?

1-8 fg 5pts 3 rbds

[Admidave50]

I'm sorry but Manu had terrible and costly plays in the 3d!

Fuck the team must wake up in the 4th, NO is so beatble!!

[TDfan2007]

ladies and gentlemen I present to you the Regular Season Spurs!

Complete with a passive and nonchalant Tim Duncan

An "I don't give a shit" Greg Popovich

Dissapearing acts by Michael Finley and Robert Horry

and...

ICE COLD shooting in the 3rd!

[Vinnie_Johnson]

Spurs are in a little funk here. They should pull out of it in time to win this thing.:flag:

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Everyone is blaming Tim, but he's been doubled out of the game.

The fact that the team isn't capitalising on the doubles is the problem, and it's largely coaching. All we're doing is shooting 3s or isoing, rather than CUTTING to the rim and making it a layup parade. Tim's a great passer - give him someone to pass to!!!!! :pctoss

[ChumpDumper]

Hornets are the better team tonight.

[TampaDude]

this is sad, i blame the 19 minute delay, i blame the refs for calling bullshit calls

Actually, the Spurs came out strong after that delay...they just sucked a huge cock in the 3rd...same old Spurs...this game will end with a close Spurs win or an utter blowout by the Hornets...I'm leaning toward the latter right now...

[WildcardManu]

that Speed Racer looks like F-Zero

[cjjr72984]

As a Hornets fan, Idk why Popovich abandoned the 3-pt game? Bowen was killing us. I guess cause you guys went cold in the 3rd quarter.

I'm a little surpised that Duncan isn't playing too well.

[td4mvp21]

What's wrong with Duncan? Is he scared? What? You don't put up this kind of performance in a playoff game; unfortunately he's not going to turn it around in the 4th. Duncan hardly ever turns it around after sucking for 3 quarters.

[itzsoweezee]

i can't see the spurs winning if they're not hitting their outside shots.

[peskypesky]

This is a loss...hang on, Spurs fans...we 'bout ta get blown out...

bullshit. there's a whole quarter to be played and we're not down by much. a few stops and a few buckets and we're tied. go find another team to root for, wimp.

:flag:

[T Park]

Got to play better defense on guys like Stoyakovic.

Duncan has GOT to do something.

Thats the difference right now.

Letting Peja get shots and Duncan not being more agressive.

[hsxvvd]

It's not refs or delays people.... it's as simple as rebounds.

New Orleans 39 San Antonio 28.

11 Offensive rebounds...

[ballhog]

We need some offense.....Barry, Udoka , Buehler?

[Amuseddaysleeper]

i can't see the spurs winning if they're not hitting their outside shots.

then it's gonna be a long series unless the big 3 average 85 ppg again

[boutons_]

shooting 40% in the playoffs is not recommended

[td4mvp21]

Boo Hoo, cry baby cry

That's what Chris Paul does. Perfect imitation of him.

[ChumpDumper]

As a Hornets fan, Idk why Popovich abandoned the 3-pt game?The 3-pt game abandoned the Spurs.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Are we sure West has only 24 pts?

It feels like he's going Kobe on us tonight.

Only down 8 going into the 4th, however. It's not over yet.

If Duncan is going to look for the refs to bail him out in New Orleans after what we saw from said stripes at the start of the third, it's over.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

oh yeah, forgot about Barry

where is he?

[Quiet Strength]

Manu got to the basket easy and scored but then he shot a stupid 3 and was way off.. gotta keep attacking

[peskypesky]

Hornets are the better team in the third quarter tonight

fixed

[ducks]

duncan 3 rebounds why?

[dbreiden83080]

What's wrong with Duncan? Is he scared? What? You don't put up this kind of performance in a playoff game; unfortunately he's not going to turn it around in the 4th. Duncan hardly ever turns it around after sucking for 3 quarters.

Scared of what he is Tim Duncan. He is just off and out of rythm. He looks pissed at himself right now

[td4mvp21]

Cutters would be nice. Too bad Pop doesn't make adjustments.

[boutons_]

Tim 5 and 3 thru 3 qtrs. totally neutralized, good plan, good execution.

[TampaDude]

bullshit. there's a whole quarter to be played and we're not down by much. a few stops and a few buckets and we're tied. go find another team to root for, wimp.

:flag:

Can't handle the truth? A true fan will admit when his/her team is sucking...and the Spurs are SUCKING right now...they are lucky to only be down 8 right now...

[Don Quixote]

Tim for Timmy to show up.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

As a Hornets fan, Idk why Popovich abandoned the 3-pt game? Bowen was killing us. I guess cause you guys went cold in the 3rd quarter.

I'm a little surpised that Duncan isn't playing too well.

He hasn't abandoned it, we're just not hitting.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I agree with you. The problem is Popazit saw Bowen hit a couple of threes and thought he'd keep it up so he didn't make any adjustments at halftime.

Yup.

Pop is a good coach if his plan works, but as for adjusting on the fly, not good at all. :depressed

[Spurologist]

FINNNNNNNNNNNNNnnn

3333333333333333333333333

[bdubya]

Spurs have had no O but Parker. That's not gonna last. NO needs a bigger lead than this to survive the 4th.

[Rummpd]

Two players that should have played tonight - Barry and Udoka.

[TampaDude]

Finley hits a 3 while they are split-screening the game... :lol

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

duncan 3 rebounds why?

We covered this already. He's playing like a pussy.

[TDfan2007]

the NO offense is beautiful right now. But we aren't really playing much D either. IT's been REALLY bad.

[TampaDude]

Wow, JV!

[dtrain]

I am not worried. There is an entire quarter to play here.

[SpurAddict561]

wow Vaughn bailed us out on that one?

that's sad

let's fuckin go boys!!!

[Rummpd]

Great play by Vaughn.

[peskypesky]

Can't handle the truth? A true fan will admit when his/her team is sucking...and the Spurs are SUCKING right now...they are lucky to only be down 8 right now...

you're a fan? why do you sound more like a troll then?

[Spurologist]

wtf manu

[WildcardManu]

wtf manu, stop shooting and attack

[boutons_]

Spurs gotta find some fire, wake TF up, and take this game.

I see very little energy, esp from Tim

[Radiosparks]

Manu is cold!

[TDfan2007]

holy shit what is Manu doing? He's just jacking up 3s.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Yup.

Pop is a good coach if his plan works, but as for adjusting on the fly, not good at all. :depressed

The more I think about it the more it pisses me off.

How the hell can you see NO play the way they did and then not adjust at half?

Did you just think you didn't have to make any adjustments because Bowen was unconscious the first half?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

D it up.

That is our only hope.

[dtrain]

I don't like Manu taking early 3s though....

[01Snake]

WTF Manu?

[ChumpDumper]

Manu is playing like garbage.

So is Tim. but he's on the bench.

[sting]

Dx Baby

[Rummpd]

How can you have Parker and Duncan both out?

[hsxvvd]

We need to lock them up.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

:lol West flops and Thomas gets his fourth on a rebound.

[dtrain]

4 on KT?

[TampaDude]

Manu has gone cold...time to make some adjustments, Pop...

[Budkin]

Get Manu out of the fucking game... he's killing us with those lazy brick 3s!!!

[ballhog]

Thomas has got to quit with the cheap fouls.

[DudleyDawson]

Duncan goes through stretches where he's the biggest stiff on the floor.

[td4mvp21]

Shooting threes was fine in the first half-we were wide open. Now we are just jacking them up.

[Armando]

:lol West flops and Thomas gets his fourth on a rebound.



Yeah is not like Thomas grabbed his jersey or anything.

[sting]

Dx Unstoppable

[TDfan2007]

Put Tim On West!

[Capt Bringdown]

Oh great, we're just a jump shooting team now.

[WildcardManu]

David west scores at will

[davemaniscool]

can someone fucking guard west?

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

How can you have Parker and Duncan both out?

http://www.cbc.ca/gfx/topstory/sports/popovich_gregg030428.jpg

All I have to do is coach this thing like a regular season game, it's not like it's the playoffs.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

The more I think about it the more it pisses me off.

How the hell can you see NO play the way they did and then not adjust at half?

Did you just think you didn't have to make any adjustments because Bowen was unconscious the first half?

Exactly.

We have not scored even 1 BASKET cutting down the middle off a Duncan pass - that is inexcusable.

[Rummpd]

So much for an early run.

[TDfan2007]

Manu has NO clue what he's doing on the court. He's fumbling balls and taking terrible shots.

[peskypesky]

pop, put barry and udoka in while there;s still time!

[dtrain]

Brent Barry! woot!

[WildcardManu]

ty Fin dog

[TampaDude]

can someone fucking guard west?

Nope!

[Rummpd]

Need a run now.

[sting]

DX again, oh BABY

[td4mvp21]

OMG the refs called a foul on the Hornets!

[hsxvvd]

get a fucking stop! jesus, is there any defence at all?

[Spurologist]

D.West can't miss

[SpurOutofTownFan]

man if dwest is going to hit all night like this you need to make your shots - period. you need to hit them.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Get Manu out of the fucking game... he's killing us with those lazy brick 3s!!!

The problem is NO has enough athletes to make life difficult with Manu if he's out there without Parker and Duncan.

Pop needs to shelve his bullshit regular season rotation and recognize he has to have two of the three of Manu, Tony, and Tim on the court at all times.

[Budkin]

Timmy needs to take over now or we're done.

[Quiet Strength]

Has duncan guarded west tonight?

[TDfan2007]

Oberto is terrible on defense, he has no business being on the court right now. Oh hey Tim got a call, cool

[davemaniscool]

Tim got fouled. WTH is that all about?

[Whisky Dog]

If the Hornets are going to make jump shots like this its over.

[td4mvp21]

Timmy needs to take over now or we're done.

We're done.

[WildcardManu]

man david west is a spur killer

[dbreiden83080]

And the Hornets are not going to allow Duncan to do much in this series because of the double teams so when he does not take advantage of the shots he gets, we are fucked.

[boutons_]

Come on Brent, drop a couple 3s.

Manu has NO clue what he's doing on the court. He's fumbling balls and taking terrible shots.

Well, when NO is quadruple teaming you and you've got no one to pass to...

[metalzo]

Don't worry guys...you'll get allll the calls in San Antonio...that's how it goes ;)

[itzsoweezee]

that's what makes West so good, he's a fucking awesome jumpshooter. you can't defend him.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

Has duncan guarded west tonight?

they dont want to put him on west

[DubMcDub]

D.West can't miss

Welcome to our lives.

[Spurs Brazil]

Hornets is on fire.

No defense whatsoever by the Silver & Black. That's why we're losing.

Pop has to move Timmy around - a little 4-down, lotsa high post, PNR, etc. And then he needs to run motion around him. He hasn't woken up to that yet, amazingly.

I'm just glad we aren't playing at home - this is a must-win for them. We will hopefully adjust and have another shot at the split in game 2.

If Oberto/Thomas/Horry can't guard D West, we will lose this series.
