Hornets @ Spurs Game 3 Blog

[Deb]

spurs are playing like their old selves again.

Amen, good D and good O:flag:

[bdictjames]

that was a nice off rbd from Tim Thomas
passed to Manu

then TP 2 :elephant
You must mean Kurt. :toast

[spursfan09]

This all started when TD stared playing aggressively in the 3rd. It all starts with him. LIke it always has

[Red Hawk #21]

Yess!!! The Spurs are breaking through!!

[dbreiden83080]

Long way to go lets go Spurs finish hard

[E20]

I just finished watching my sig and it gave me chills baby whooo we're doing this shit right this series.

[Manu20]

5:55 NO - Full timeout (Timeout #4)

It's a sign!:worthy:

[01Snake]

Game over bitches, game over!

Uh?? No

[itzsoweezee]

No letting up!

[fightingtiger2335]

Spurs keeping their season alive with that nice run

[bdictjames]

I love the Spurs!!!

[1Parker1]

Spurs need to be careful and not let up. Hornets are a dangerous team and can erase a 13 point lead in a matter of minutes.

[Allanon]

I have a feeling there will be fewer Hornet fans here tonight :D

[lefty]

Whoa! Impressive play by the Spurs.

Heart of a champion indeed.

:toast

[Pistons < Spurs]

TONS of time left. Knuckle down and FINISH IT!!!

[samikeyp]

we're not out of the woods yet, we need to stomp these motherfuckers out.

Yes. Still plenty of time and NO is too good.

[bdictjames]

5:55 NO - Full timeout (Timeout #4)

It's a sign!:worthy:
That's what I said.. I hope the Spurs believe in signs.

[nfg3]

this is Spurs BB! Take it home by double digits.

[Don Quixote]

It seems the vaunted Spurs defense has shown up, finally.

[ballhog]

If it makes you guys feel better....they have swallowed the whistle on the Hornets drives....so you can stop crying about the refs (=

Does this mean you'll be leaving?

[peskypesky]

it's pretty clear that Duncan has to move quick, before the double teams get to him...and he and Manu can play the 2-person game nicely

[bdictjames]

I have a feeling there will be fewer Hornet fans here tonight :D
It'd be nice to have a little smack talk after we win. :lol

[lefty]

555

wow...

Whatever makes you feel better. CP and DWest have been treated well by the refs.

[MarceloM!]

Manu Rocks Tonight!! Tim still not in his level! go spurs go!

[peskypesky]

Spurs have to play tough and smart. DO NOT LET THIS ONE SLIP!!!

:flag:

[duncan228]

This all started when TD stared playing aggressively in the 3rd. It all starts with him. LIke it always has

And it always will.
The man is exhausted, you can see it. But he will leave it all on that court.

[samikeyp]

It'd be nice to have a little smack talk after we win. :lol

Spurs would still be down 2-1 if they pull this out...not a lot of room to talk.

[bdictjames]

We kept it close. Pop's strategy is good.

[fightingtiger2335]

Does this mean you'll be leaving?
Why would I leave??? Isn't the series best of 4?

[DAF86]

Uh?? No

:lol I let myself go, sorry.

[Admidave50]

this is spurs basketball baby!! gotta love it

[mystargtr34]

Whoa! Impressive play by the Spurs.

Heart of a champion indeed.

Congrats on being the first non troll Hornet fan...

At least yours showing glimpses anyway

[Radiosparks]

Finish strong!

[1Parker1]

Bad possession by Parker.

[milkyway21]

hey Spurs fans can we at least disable those sigs. The thread is so slow...

Bowen!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ring of Fire]

What is the 5:55 significance?

[Whisky Dog]

Fuck the Hornets. Fuck New Orleans. Bunch of punk ass criminals.

Hurricane Ginobili coming to finish what Katrina started.

[bdictjames]

Spurs would still be down 2-1 if they pull this out...not a lot of room to talk.
We're sports fans.. all we do is talk.

[hitmanyr2k]

Damn Parker...hit the open man...play fuckin smart. This game is nowhere near out of reach to be doing stupid shit like that.

[samikeyp]

Um...don't leave West open.

[Spurologist]

KTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTtttttt

[E20]

Nice!

[peskypesky]

Kurt Thomas with two!!!

[Rummpd]

This is MANU TIME

[bdictjames]

KT!!

I wish I had the vision of Ginobili.

[Spurs Brazil]

KT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Manu with a monster game

[ballhog]

Thomas cannot guard West.

[peskypesky]

let's not trade baskets....let's get some stops. please!

[samikeyp]

Kurt Thomas with two!!!

then the foul...:bang

[bdictjames]

boo West boo.

[1Parker1]

How many assists does Ginobili have tonight?

[Spurologist]

1st mistake of the night for Doris Burke

Manu has been an all star

[fightingtiger2335]

Fuck the Hornets. Fuck New Orleans. Bunch of punk ass criminals.

Hurricane Ginobili coming to finish what Katrina started.

Uncalled for Dude.

[bdictjames]

Thomas cannot guard West.
That's ok though. He gave us 2 points. And West missed.

[Rummpd]

Nice brick FT

[peskypesky]

gritty comeback by the Spurs

[mystargtr34]

Fuck the Hornets. Fuck New Orleans. Bunch of punk ass criminals.

Hurricane Ginobili coming to finish what Katrina started.

You didnt lol... settle

[bdictjames]

Cmon Spurs. Close this game out.

[naico]

Why would I leave??? Isn't the series best of 4?


Dumbass

[1Parker1]

Parker is sucking on offense and missing his shots.

Shit KT with 5 fouls.

[BonnerDynasty]

West walks like he is the fucking terminator out there.

[peskypesky]

don't know if we should be shooting 3's or long twos at this point, with a lead

[mystargtr34]

I dont want this game to be close... i want the margin to be +20.... We gotta run em into the ground like they did to us.... none of this preserve the lead bullshit

[Pistons < Spurs]

Fuck the Hornets. Fuck New Orleans. Bunch of punk ass criminals.

Hurricane Ginobili coming to finish what Katrina started.

No need to be like that.

[Rummpd]

Brick it West - yes

[peskypesky]

Pound The Ball Into The Paint, God-damnit!!!!

[duncan228]

Manu with 6 assists I think

[milkyway21]

You must mean Kurt. :toast

yeah :lmao KT. my bad

[Spurologist]

The ball a little heavier for West when they are down

[bdictjames]

Nice one West!!!

[Radiosparks]

No easy baskets from here on.

[Rummpd]

Yes 2 bricks!

[Whisky Dog]

West loses his composure easily. I'd chip that bitch's nuts on every possesion to really fuck with him. I'd also be giving Paul body blows all game long at every opportunity.

[1Parker1]

Uncalled for Dude.

Yea, I definitely agree. Spurs fans using Katrina smack is weak and uneccesary. Keep it basketball related.

[peskypesky]

great hustle by the Spurs

[bdictjames]

Fresh 24.

[ballhog]

Good hustle tonight.

[davemaniscool]

DWest is a decent player but the man definitely gets some Jordan-like calls.

[BrokerinSA]

Okay okay that was uncalled for, but at least they can take back their FEMA refugees that raised the crime rate here.

[MarceloM!]

I Hate Chris Paul! take control over this guy.

[peskypesky]

didn't I say to pound the ball into the paint?

[1Parker1]

That's not a travel on CP3?!?!?!

[fightingtiger2335]

Dumbass



yeah because I said best of instead of first to....

[Rummpd]

Paul traveled there.

[E20]

Gotta admit nice move by Paul.

[peskypesky]

man Tim has great hands

[Pistons < Spurs]

2:30 left....



TP!!!!!!!




UP 12!!!!!

[Spurologist]

TPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPpp

[Rummpd]

Big time rebound and play by
"Parker

[fightingtiger2335]

Atleast I know i'll get to use my game 5 tickets

[peskypesky]

how about a hard foul on CP3?? huh?? make him earn it at the stripe

[peskypesky]

nice Tony!!

[ballhog]

Mano a mano

[Spurs Brazil]

Tp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mrcoon29]

pound the paint - yep, gotta do that but I'll trade baskets until the game is over..no problem.

[Rummpd]

Take that Paul!

[Radiosparks]

What a game by both point guards.

[Pistons < Spurs]

That's not a travel on CP3?!?!?!

no shit!!!

[Spurologist]

Tony fucking parker

[dbreiden83080]

Believe motherfucker beleieve

[mystargtr34]

Chris Paul is ridiculous.. this guy is gonna be Isiah Thomas re-incarnate

[ballhog]

Great effort in defeat for Paul.

[GrandeDavid]

NO, no more smack tonight, please. The series still hasn't started.

[DAF86]

I called it, Manu and Tony both with more than 30 each

[davemaniscool]

This is what I was waiting for. Tony giving as much as he's getting.

[lefty]

TP right back at CP3 !

What a shot !

[dbreiden83080]

Heart baby heart

[mrcoon29]

All is well in Spursland and lookie there - Spurs have scored over 100 against the NOLA Defense.

[Vinnie_Johnson]

Big Huge must have Win for The Spurs.:toast

[Nolazach]

Atleast I know i'll get to use my game 5 tickets

Well thats the only good to come from it.

[Red Hawk #21]

Yes! Good job by the Spurs!

[DespЏrado]

Climbing back to the Ship starts now. Keep it up Spurs.

[milkyway21]

I know that TP and Manu and Fin are great tonight

but,

I would like to give props to Bowen for shutting down Peja :tu

3pt FGs

Bowen 4
Manu 3
Finley 3

Peja 1 :clap

[Rummpd]

Well thats the only good to come from it.
Cocky for someone seeing their team owned by da champs!

[Deb]

Yeah! The Spurs of old tonight - now three more!!

[1Parker1]

no shit!!!

Parker got called for a travel a lot less than that in the 1st half. Unreal, those last two possessions were both travels by CP3. I guess he can walk on water as far as these refs are concerned. Nice to see the Spurs battle through absolutely horrible officiating.

[boutons_]

Spurs step back from the abyss.

They FINALLY start playing in this series like it's the playoffs, and not just basketball.

That mofo West ain't so frickin cocky now.

[DazedAndConfused]

The Spurs won this game on pure heart and emotion. They simply wanted to win it more than the Hornets did.

Despite the double digit loss I still feel the Hornets are in good position to steal Game 4. The Spurs will have to match this same energy level 3 more times to beat the Hornets, I don't see that happening......especially without HCA.

[ballhog]

Spurs need another great effort again in few days...by the way, when's the next game?

[SPARKY]

Tapping that third world azz.

[Whisky Dog]

I unfortunately had to spend enough time in NO to know that 90% of the people there didn't deserve to live.

[CubanMustGo]

FTs: SA 21, NO 21

Nothing like getting the "home calls".

[MarceloM!]

Spurs need another great effort again in few days...by the way, when's the next game?

Sunday

[Ring of Fire]

I unfortunately had to spend enough time in NO to know that 90% of the people there didn't deserve to live.

WTF? :nope

[ballhog]

Peja a no-show tonight. Those 3's from him were daggers the last few games.

[samikeyp]

I unfortunately had to spend enough time in NO to know that 90% of the people there didn't deserve to live.

Uncool.

[Nolazach]

Cocky for someone seeing their team owned by da champs!


Whatever do you mean?

We get to use the tickets that many of us bought this morning for game 5. Its bittersweet, but I didn't think we would sweep.

Note sig, we win one there, thats all.

[1Parker1]

So I guess the way to defend CP3, is to negate his production with a big effort from his counterpart? :lol

[fightingtiger2335]

I unfortunately had to spend enough time in NO to know that 90% of the people there didn't deserve to live.


STill no need to bring Katrina up man...especially when some of the trolls really did lose homes and family member due to that storm..it's just basketball int he long run.

[Newton]

I unfortunately had to spend enough time in NO to know that 90% of the people there didn't deserve to live.

Piss off.

[SpurAddict561]

Yea, we definitely gotta bring the intensity Sunday too

I'm super impressed with Manu's performance tonight

especially when he's limping around

bravo, Manu

[Pistons < Spurs]

Parker got called for a travel a lot less than that in the 1st half. Unreal, those last two possessions were both travels by CP3. I guess he can walk on water as far as these refs are concerned. Nice to see the Spurs battle through absolutely horrible officiating.

http://img182.imageshack.us/img182/4808/coyoteau9.jpg


The officiating has been pure shit this year. Not just this game or this series. Every game I've watched I've been beside myself how poorly they've been called. And that doesn't even count all the superstar calls. KG shoving the ref. Bron pushing the ref. Bron smacking Haywood. It's really starting to piss me off.

[mrcoon29]

That was a true Team Effort by the Spurs. Do or Die will do that to an experienced Team.

[MarceloM!]

Peja a no-show tonight. Those 3's from him were daggers the last few games.

fortunately, in other way, the story would be another tonight.

[MONTENEGRINO]

Well I am happy to say congrats Spurs! :)
Win next one and they are over.

[Deb]

Calling out all the pussy Hornets fans now!

[E20]

Why did the Spurs give up Melvin Ely?

[GrandeDavid]

SpursBrazil, que bom que por enquanto estes viados de New Orleans vao ter que fechar as bocas.

[samikeyp]

STill no need to bring Katrina up man...especially when some of the trolls really did lose homes and family member due to that storm..it's just basketball int he long run.

Says the guy who referred to the Spurs as Gay Cowboys. :)

But I do agree with you.

[ballhog]

Nicely coached game by Pop. Who's Bowen gonna be on the next game I wonder?

[fred33]

Eva Longoria Was At The Game?

[WildcardManu]

nothing like horry taking that dagger and twisting it

[SpurAddict561]

We gotta keep this same equation too, I like to call it the "Suns equation"

let Amare & Nash score, shut down the rest


let CP3 & West do their thing...shut down Peja & friends

I swear it should work

[ballhog]

Horry for 3333333333333333333333333333333

[Spurs Brazil]

Spurs win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[4001 STEREO SPUR]

¡¡¡¡uʍop 1

Yeahhhh!!!!!

[GrandeDavid]

Suddenly Hornets petty smack bitches are long gone. lol lol

The series has yet to start.

[samikeyp]

Calling out all the pussy Hornets fans now!

The pussy ones won't show up...the ones with brains will still be here.

[Pistons < Spurs]

I unfortunately had to spend enough time in NO to know that 90% of the people there didn't deserve to live.

you've gone well past being a fan, and are sounding like a dick.

Eva Longoria Was At The Game?


hmmmm, candy!

[WildcardManu]

I still say "fuck the refs"

[Supreme_Being]

So we won.

[DespЏrado]

1 Down...still a huge battle and the Spurs gotta show up in every way to even get back in this series.

[Deb]

Eva Longoria Was At The Game?

Fred, do you have a friggin crush on Eva?

[fightingtiger2335]

Congrats on the Win Spurs....still have a good feeling on the Series being 2-1 though.Def. be in out and up to Sunday..then in game thread with you guys again Sunday talking shit again.

Congrats on the win tonight.

[m33p0]

*big sigh of relief*

[samikeyp]

Great win for the Spurs....1 win though. Nice win, but the job is not done. Gotta stay focused.

[1Parker1]

Awww Parker runs off the court to give David Robinson a hug.

[mystargtr34]

The Spurs won this game on pure heart and emotion. They simply wanted to win it more than the Hornets did.

Despite the double digit loss I still feel the Hornets are in good position to steal Game 4. The Spurs will have to match this same energy level 3 more times to beat the Hornets, I don't see that happening......especially without HCA.

Yep... pure heart alone... it took pure heart to start hitting 3's (11-25), and put Bowen on Peja (2-7)

[ballhog]

Timmy got an IV but the Whore-nuts got an enema.

[boutons_]

Robert's 3G was two fingers up their noses

[lefty]

Next

[Deb]

Congrats on the Win Spurs....still have a good feeling on the Series being 2-1 though.Def. be in out and up to Sunday..then in game thread with you guys again Sunday talking shit again.

It's Overrrr. Go Spurs Go!!! still many rivers to cross. Sunday night!

[ducks]

after his brief interview:flag::flag::flag:

[Whisky Dog]

I don't give a fuck what anybody says or thinks, fuck NO.

Step it up and backdoor sweep these lowlife fucks.

[lefty]

That was a clutch shot by Horry

[ATXSPUR]

That's fucking Spurs Basketball!!! Now win this shit in game four and tie this fucking series up!!!!!!

By the way Spurs fans stop with the katrina references. This organization is supposed to pride itself on conducting itself in a classy manner.

Leave all the nonsense to hornet fans.

[tp9manu20]

hell yeah ROBERT HORRY!!

[fightingtiger2335]

Says the guy who referred to the Spurs as Gay Cowboys. :)

But I do agree with you.

Gay Cowboys is smack talk...doesn't really hurt anyone...Unless your uncle is a gay cowboy then I apologize :lol

[dbreiden83080]

[DazedAndConfused]

This is the DAL series all over again. The worst thing about this game is that it has given every Spurs fan hope they can win the series. The Hornets still have HCA, the Spurs haven't shown any inkling that they can win over there thus far.

[1Parker1]

Eva Longoria Was At The Game?

No she was at the Met Gala in NYC.

[Deb]

I don't know about ya'll guys, but I saw the old Spurs in the second half and I am pumped now.

[mystargtr34]

That was crucial... but the Mavs had it at 2-1 aswell and then NO came out in game 4 and just rippped the hearts out of the Mavs... we ave match their intensity.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

who gives a shit forum.

[ducks]

I thought it was funny because david said manu was his favorite player to watch

[SpursDynasty]

Good win tonight, but honestly it's nothing to get excited about. The Spurs should be preparing for teams such as the Lakers and Celtics/Pistons....hopefully we'll finish off NOH in 6 but we'll go 7 if we have to. Good win, we should be up 3-0 however.

[Spurs Brazil]

[duncan228]

Eva Longoria Was At The Game?

fred33, if she was they never showed her. They usually do on national TV so maybe she wasn't there. Sorry, I just don't know.

[Pistons < Spurs]

tp went over and talked to david
Is he going to convince him to suit up for next game?

[polandprzem]

I thought it was funny because david said manu was his favorite player to watch

You failed with thinking again ...

[Phil Hellmuth]

Taking away Peja's element in this series might turn the tables and the hornets bench might not produce enough.

[1Parker1]

This is the DAL series all over again. The worst thing about this game is that it has given every Spurs fan hope they can win the series. The Hornets still have HCA, the Spurs haven't shown any inkling that they can win over there thus far.

Hornets haven't shown any inkling that they can win on the Spurs homecourt in the playoffs.

Piss off and worry about winning one in Utah, Lakerfan. It's really pathetic when fans of other teams feel the need to come on a Spurs forum and diss them.

[samikeyp]

Gay Cowboys is smack talk...doesn't really hurt anyone...Unless your uncle is a gay cowboy then I apologize :lol

My point is that non-basketball related smack is weak. If you are going to talk shit, at least be a man about it and stick to hoops. We have too many juvenile wannabe gangstas talking noise about everything but what is relevant.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

I thought it was funny because david said manu was his favorite player to watch

Stick to your gibberish. Thinking cramps your style.

What did you expect? For Tony not to talk to Dave because he said he enjoys watching Manu play?

[sqwar]

I unfortunately had to spend enough time in NO to know that 90% of the people there didn't deserve to live.

Wow you are just full of class huh you piece of shit? Fuck off and die in a fire already.

They are playing in SA, you fuck-o. We know they lost in NO. Let us win on Sunday and then we will see if we can steal one away.

You can be so fucking annoying sometimes.

[Deb]

Fuck you, you fucking piece of shit....I was calm and said take it easy on that talk...it's basketball...take that shit somewhere else....alot of people were and still affected by that storm....you're the true low life.

And the Hornets still haven't been tested in the playoffs. The Spurs know what they have to do. And they will continue to get better from the injuries and illness. They are a better team than they played the first two games.

Spurs are gonna have to fight even harder on Sunday, but if any team can it's the Spurs.

[duncan228]

Good win tonight, but honestly it's nothing to get excited about. The Spurs should be preparing for teams such as the Lakers and Celtics/Pistons....hopefully we'll finish off NOH in 6 but we'll go 7 if we have to. Good win, we should be up 3-0 however.

The Spurs should be preparing for game 4 against the Hornets. Scouts can go furthur, but the team and the coaching staff have their hands full right now. Their focus needs to, and I'm sure it will, stay on game 4 of this series.

[ducks]

I expect after a spurs win spur fans could get along I guess not

[bdubya]

Spurs are still down 1, but damn....I've seen the Spurs D it up before, but the ball movement they had on offense down the stretch was out of this world. Looked like one mind, ten hands...awesome.

[Radiosparks]

Robert's 3G was two fingers up their noses

Hahahahahahaaaaaa!!!!!:lmao:lmao

Still struggling to rid yourself of those nasty troll habits... it takes time man it takes time... until that time comes (if ever) ppl will continue to get comedic relief from your takes on this board so please stick around.

[JohnnySixString]

This win was good and necessary. Losing tonight would have been the first nail in the coffin. It was good to see some real intensity and effort and just for them to wake up. However, it'll be for shit if they don't play even better on Sunday AND win again.

These are the Spurs, bitch. I still have you on record on how Shaq is on Duncan head...
I certainly hope you keep your streak on being wrong...

[Deb]

I am a lot more optimistic now - think the Spurs have gotten a lot more aggressive, and know what it takes to win this series. Watch out NO!

[Deb]

[samikeyp]

I am a lot more optimistic now - think the Spurs have gotten a lot more aggressive, and know what it takes to win this series. Watch out NO!

I am too. If SA plays like this on Sunday, then a win is very possible.

[SpursDynasty]

Whoever said to shut down Peja and we win the series is exactly right. Paul and West can't beat SA on their own. Chandler is not as dominant as everyone is making him out to be. Peja was left open at least 5 times Monday and hit them.

[ducks]

the big three almost got 80 tonight
that is what the big three have to score

[davemaniscool]

Spurs still need to figure out CP.

Find some of that d they used on Nash. CP is quicker than Nash but maybe applying aggressive traps on him. I still see NO as a two man team, nothing more.

[Spurs Brazil]

Isto mesmo. Ele podem comer suas irmas agora. rs rs

:lol

[marini martini]

I think they've figured how to play the babies at thier game!

[mystargtr34]

Im pumped but man im worried about this game 4... Tim really stepped up on D at the end their... and Manu and Tony ... just ridiculous.

One thing i will say... people are gonna look at the numbers and say oh Tim wasnt much of a factor this series... but the dude.... just with his prescence.. is single handedly shaping the way the entire series is going to play out... he is making the likes of Fin/Barry/Kurt/Bowen/Oberto all better just by having his two feet on the damn floor. Alright he hasnt had is greatest series even considering that... but when a guy can have that much of an impact really by just catching a fucking basketall.... thats greatness.

[GrandeDavid]

Si Si Spurs - Vamos for the :lobt2:

:lol

Nice try, my friend! :lol

Sim, sim, vamos ganhar este puto de campeonato!!!!!!!!!!!! Beijo!!!!!!!!!! Good night, fellow Spurs fans.

[Deb]

Why do we have to endure these CP lovin ESPN freaks??

[Cant_Be_Faded]

if you dont come strong and or correct with a question to greg popavich he will reject it like tim duncan rejecting a shot.

this was from an nbatv analyst

One thing i will say... people are gonna look at the numbers and say oh Tim wasnt much of a factor this series... but the dude.... just with his prescence.. is single handedly shaping the way the entire series is going to play out... he is making the likes of Fin/Barry/Kurt/Bowen/Oberto all better just by having his two feet on the damn floor. Alright he hasnt had is greatest series even considering that... but when a guy can have that much of an impact really by just catching a fucking basketall.... thats greatness.

Agreed - otherwise, why the friggin double, triple teams! Afraid of TD, thats why:flag:

Did the Spurs beat the Hornets down or did the Hornets just mentally lose focus and stop executing in the 4th?

I didn't see enough from SAS to make me believe they are a better team than the Hornets. Chris Paul still got whatever he wanted, Chandler was a beast, West got his, and they were right in this game until basically the last 10 minutes of the 4th. They weren't playing with anywhere near the sense of urgency that the Spurs were. It was the 1st game on their opponents home floor, which is the hardest game to win. They will be much better prepared for the next game.

The Spurs still have to go into NOH and steal a game, with their shooting as poor as it is on the road I don't see that happening. You can call me a troll, but deep down you probably agree with me.

If the Hornets lost their focus in the fourth then thats their bad, and might possibly doom then for a champtionship. We''ll see how much experience counts

[florige]

They're only up by 5, lol. This is the best the spurs have played in quite a few games and the hornets are few buckets away from getting the lead back.



hahhah, lol, :lol You were saying...????

[ballhog]

Much better passing by Tim out of the double team. TP's man always comes at Duncan. They've made an adjustment by getting it to a 3 pt specialist on the swing pass. It's also nice to see them go in.

Chandler a beast? He's only as good as CP's passes.

I don't disagree with a lot of that but you have to go one game at a time here. Timmy is going to get it going i feel more as this series goes on and If we get it from Manu and Tony and play Spurs D we can win this sucker.

[DazedAndConfused]

And we were still in it the last 8 minutes in game 1 NO's whats your point?

I just look at the way NOH is scoring the ball and they are basically getting shots they are comfortable hitting. Shots they have hit all year long.

The Spurs are being forced to hit jumpshots, they aren't a jumpshooting team. They started pulling away when the Hornet's collapsed and they got easy layups and points in the paint. That is Spur's basketball right there. If the Hornets can keep the Spurs shooting jumpshots they will win this series.

[ballhog]

Chandler.....rebounds, moving screens, over-the-backs, and the occasional alley-oop. Wow. He's good.

look everybody its the almighty Laker fan to humble us about this win. Debbie Downer get over yourself. This series is not over. And tonight proved it.

[Admidave50]

with tonight's adjustments (TP on CP3 and Bowen on Peja), I truly believe that the upcoming stats for Hornets players will be the same. CP3 & West going off but all the others doing nothing!

Only 15 assists by NO tonight while Tony had 11 (28 for the team), they won't beat us if only CP3 & West are involved!!

Believe!

Once Chandler mans up on Tim without the benefit of double and triple teams *and* shuts him down then he can be called a "beast".

Actually a couple of us were saying that the Spurs need to shut down the role players and anyone not named Chris Paul or David West and see if those two can beat us.

I really could give a damn if Paul was going off, Tony was matching him shot for shot. And a couple of years ago we did the same thing to Phoenix. Amare averaged like 40 PPG against us but we shut down the rest of the Suns.

We didn't lose games 1 and 2 because Chris Paul went for 30 and 10, we lost because Peja was going off for 25 a game because Pop was wasting Bowen on Paul.

Paul had his lowest assist total of the series tonight, got four more points than his high so far (big whoop), but Peja was held to 8 points, and that's the difference in the ball game.

It's also why NO got those first two at home.

I'll agree with you there. We just have to make them pay though for leaving us wide ass open. But they have done a good job of closing out on shooters as well. The key for us is going to be go at Chandler like we did with Shaq and get him out of there in foul trouble.

One thing i will say... people are gonna look at the numbers and say oh Tim wasnt much of a factor this series... but the dude.... just with his prescence.. is single handedly shaping the way the entire series is going to play out... he is making the likes of Fin/Barry/Kurt/Bowen/Oberto all better just by having his two feet on the damn floor. Alright he hasnt had is greatest series even considering that... but when a guy can have that much of an impact really by just catching a fucking basketall.... thats greatness.

This team goes as far as Duncan takes them. Parker and Manu were great and Duncan's line doesn't look like much...for Duncan. But like you said, just his prescence on the court and in the huddle makes all the difference in the world. He still isn't healthy, anyone could see that, but he makes a world of difference just being on the court.

[florige]

Exactly! We can't let those bum ass guys like Peterson, and Peja beat us. They are only good when Paul feeds them the ball in a good spot. Other than that they are garbage.

[dbreiden83080]

Tim is starting to figure it out. We keep making them pay with the double teams and he will get off, you can feel it Tim made good decisions tonight, i thought he played well we are back in this sucker

[duncan228]

Duncan looked like hell in his press conference. I hope he, and the rest of the team, get enough sleep before Sunday.

+ 1
Like others have said (which I think sums it up nicely): Duncan puts in a position to win the game...
Our guards + shooters are there to finish it.

The question now is will refs let Bowen d up on Peja. That question applies to the Spurs too.

They played a TON of minutes this game. But they needed to play that many minutes.

The next game is on Sunday. So that gives them about 3 days of relaxation.

They desperately need to win the next game too.
