Hornets @ Spurs Game 4 Blog

[peskypesky]

wouldn't it be sweet for West to do something stupid and get suspended a game?

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Spurs have let up, they need to get after it again at both ends.

[Spurologist]

FUCK

:wtf

[WildcardManu]

fucking blind mice

[Rummpd]

Piss on these officials.

[4001 STEREO SPUR]

Way to draw the foul Parker.

[peskypesky]

CP3 pushes off his defenders EVERY SINGLE TIME, how the hell is an offensive foul never called on him?

Not to mention his constant travels.

aren't you talking about Kobe?

[ATXSPUR]

Make Your Damn Fts!!

[nfg3]

Reggie is starting to get on my nerves. "Nice little flop by Bowen" when West fouls him my ass! STFU Milller and start earning your paycheck unless it is to build up the Bees while denigrating the Spurs.

[reddog 99]

way to hold the lead.

lets do this.

:flag:

[WildcardManu]

Pay up motherfuckers

[reck21]

Hey Charles, the Spurs will only score 85 points?

Hahah idiot.

[Spurologist]

aren't you talking about Kobe?

CP makes Kobe look like Mr. Clean as far as pushing off

[SpurAddict561]

wow what a pass TONY!!!!!

[Spurologist]

UDOKA again

[Spurs Brazil]

Finley!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MaNuMaNiAc]

I fucking love TP!! what a pass to Udoka!!

[WildcardManu]

up by 22, i'm cofortable again

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Finish that shit Ime!

[BonnerDynasty]

Udoka!

[Red Hawk #21]

The punks aren't looking so tough now...

[Spurologist]

:lmao

:lmao

Might as well start calling Peja, Bowen's bitch

[Spurs Brazil]

TD another block!

[SpurAddict561]

I love our composure when the games get edgy like this...

it's amazing

while other teams unravel and argue like the Hornets are

[pad300]

:lmao

:lmao

Might as well start calling Peja, Bowen's bitch

That's been known for years man...

[1Parker1]

:lmao

:lmao

Might as well start calling Peja, Bowen's bitch

:lol Seriously.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

All we need is ONE in NO and this series is over.

[polandprzem]

Time to give some rest for big 3 and rest of big 4

[peskypesky]

F-ck you, Barkley. Bandwagoneer. You jumped off and now Tim's gonna drive this shit right over your no-ring fat ass!

[reddog 99]

Was that "Spur's in a rout" I heard.

Marvelous.

[boutons_]

Yet another 3rd qtr meltdown! :lol

28 -19

[BonnerDynasty]

Damn. Bonner won't even get to play garbage time :(


He could knock down some 3's in a suit.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Wow, this is the REAL Spurs.

This series will go 7.

[ballhog]

Paul looked lost on that assist from Tony to Udoka. LOL.

[Strike]

:lmao

:lmao

Might as well start calling Peja, Bowen's bitch

You're gettin quoted. :tu

[polandprzem]

F-ck you, Barkley. Bandwagoneer. You jumped off and now Tim's gonna drive this shit right over your no-ring fat ass!

Damn you are so pesky

[ImmortalD24]

CP3= Wade 2.0

[BonnerDynasty]

It's your game baby!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Gas guarantee! What a joke! Buy one of our gas-guzzlers and we'll subsidise your overconsuming fuel habits. WTF is wrong with the world?

[peskypesky]

Wow, this is the REAL Spurs.

This series will go 7.

Spurs in 6. Book it. Now that Tim is healthy, Hornets don't have a chance. And I mean that.

[BonnerDynasty]

I'd love to see West start some shit with Ime.

[themvp]

No props to Timmy here?

He's underrated in this game.

[efrem1]

TP, Manu and TD are breaking the duck in this game. I'm feeling good.

[DazedAndConfused]

All we need is ONE in NO and this series is over.

So does UTAH and CLE.

Thus far the home teams have taken care of business in convincing fashion. UTAH and SAS have looked like completely different teams at home compared to the road.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Spurs have scored on 10 of 15 possessions in the third :tu

[Red Hawk #21]

Lets go Spurs, embarrass these fools some more

[wijayas]

If Spurs win this series, they will win their fifth ring. Go Spurs!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Spurs in 6. Book it. Now that Tim is healthy, Hornets don't have a chance. And I mean that.

I hope you are right.

[peskypesky]

Damn you are so pesky

sorry but i am SO pumped. it pissed me off that Tim's sickness was not being given its due when people discussed the losses in New Orleans.

[WildcardManu]

oh wow, they can't buy a bucket

[Spurologist]

Manu

keep it simple

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Ugh, I jinxed us, 3 turnovers in a row. :lol

[Samr]

Why is the chatroom not letting me in? The message in my window says it may not be accessed from this site.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Manu with the incessant crazy passes that turn into turnovers

[gobo]

what is the score?

[Spurs Brazil]

Damn Manu

[peskypesky]

If Spurs win this series, they will win their fifth ring. Go Spurs!

now that, I'm not so sure about. the lakers will not be easy, especially when you consider that they have home-court.

[reck21]

C'mon Manu stop trying to be stylish and pass the ball like a normal person

[hsxvvd]

Looks like Mighty Mouse might get some court time.

[boutons_]

4 straight TOs?

[ImmortalD24]

what is the score?85-61 Spurs

[nfg3]

Haven't read all the posts but where are our nice and friendly Hornets fans? You know the ones that keep tellinag all of us about the margin of victory and how the regular season is indicative of the ppost season. Gee I miss them, don't you?

So how's that regular season reasoning goning right about now?

Just like Cleveland. So typical. Until they win a championship most of them will never understand what it takes.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

what is the score?

85-61 at the end of 3.

[bobbybob0]

This is some awfull basketball to close this third quarter :/

[BonnerDynasty]

So does UTAH and CLE.

Thus far the home teams have taken care of business in convincing fashion. UTAH and SAS have looked like completely different teams at home compared to the road.

Dude. You are being an idiot.

This is the fucking Spurs. Not the Celtics. Not the Jazz. Not the fucking Cavs hahaha


C'mon. You're better than that.

[Red Hawk #21]

God there is nothing like seeing the 5'11 punk getting owned...

[m33p0]

24 point lead heading into the fourth.

THIS ONE IS A WRAP! :clap :clap :clap

[reddog 99]

Rip their heart out. 30-19

[Spurs Brazil]

[duncan228]

No props to Timmy here?

He's underrated in this game.

Not by me. He's been incredible.

20 points (9-12)
15 boards, 3 offensive
4 blocks
3 assists

And he's moving on defense like we haven't seen in 3+ games.

[Capt Bringdown]

Manu's great, but sometimes he still has enormous basketball IQ lapses.

You don't fuck around with a team like the Hornets, even when you're up 20.

Show some respect FFS.

[wijayas]

Spurs in 6. Book it. Now that Tim is healthy, Hornets don't have a chance. And I mean that.

Amen. :toast :toast :toast
I exactly have the same feel.

[Strike]

Wow, this is the REAL Spurs.

This series will go 7.

The way the Spurs are playing, it might be 6!

8-12 FG
21 pts
8 assists
6 rebounds

If Nash had those numbers, D'antoni would play Nash the rest of the game to try and get that triple double.

Now you're with the knicks. Good luck with Starbury

[SpurAddict561]

MAJOR props to Timmy, of course

the silent assassin is at it again..thank god, we missed you brotha!


and lmao@ that sequence of TOs we made that turned into 3 fast breaks which lead to [0] NOH points.

Did you see the look on Pargo's face when he turned and saw Timmy running up behind him? haahhaha he almost shit himself lolll

[Biggems]

what a waste of an end of the 3rd.....the Spurs had 4 turnovers in the final minute. They could have increased their lead to almost 30. They could have had 90 by the end of 3.

Why does Manu pass to nobody at least 3-4 times a game?

[polandprzem]

Not by me. He's been incredible.

20 points (9-12)
15 boards, 3 offensive
4 blocks
3 assists

And he's moving on defense like we haven't seen in 3+ games.

Good stats but dominant performance

[boutons_]

do NOT let make a run with a convincing counter-run,

do NOT let them grab ANY confidence for Game5 (not that it would do them any good)

[DazedAndConfused]

Dude. You are being an idiot.

This is the fucking Spurs. Not the Celtics. Not the Jazz. Not the fucking Cavs hahaha

The Spurs have won 1 game on the road so far and have been blown out in 3 others. It seems the Hornets strategy of making the Spurs shoot jumpshots only works on the road.

[Deb]

Knew that a healthy TD would be the key tonight

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Someone should beat the crap out of Craig Saiger for that purple flower shit.

[boutons_]

Good stats AND dominant performance

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Push the lead to 30 then rest the starters.

When would you put the bench in?
.

[JohnnySixString]

85-61 at the end of 3.


Oh please dear God Spurs, don't fuck up and blow this lead in the 4th.






And don't give me any shit.....if you've really watched the Spurs in just the past 4 years alone you know it's a possibility. Pop loves taking his foot off the gas at the dumbest times.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Finley on Julian Wright? Come on Pop...

[peskypesky]

Even after FOUR Championships, people STILL don't understand that these Spurs are not like other teams. They are not like the regular-season "champs" (Mavs, Suns, etc). They are not about regular season series (talking about you, Lebron).

These Spurs are Champions. And not fluke Champs like the Heat.

This is not a team that's going to be knocked out of the playoffs by a bunch of upstart kids. Get real. Get a freaking clue.

[Spurs Brazil]

Hornets with the bench in

[Spurologist]

Someone should beat the crap out of Craig Saiger for that purple flower shit.

he is trying to attract butterflies to complete his setup

[himat]

Looks like the second round has more in store than the first round. If Cleveland can win tomorrow there will be 3 series that are tied 2-2.

[SpurAddict561]

Timmyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[efrem1]

Attention Hornets fan. This isn't the Mavs where the team rolls over in Game 4. Getting a little tense there on the north shore guys? What about you in Kenner and Gretna? Let's see what happens in game five.

When Fab is splitting the defenders for the layup, you know the Hornets have given up on this one.

Oh trolls....

Come out...come out..wherever you are...

[polandprzem]

I meant that looking at stats you can assume he had a good game but he has been dominant on both ends.
Absolutely awesome performance

[peskypesky]

I love the quiet from the fucking trolls. For some reason the Hornets trolls have been worse for me than any other teams have. Even the '06 Mavs trolls. :lol

yeah i agree. the hornets trolls were ridiculously pompous and over-confident and disrespectful, especially when you factor in that NO lucked out by playing against a sick Tim Duncan.

you would've thought they'd be smart enough to realize that things would get tougher when Tim was well, but no.

[Vinnie_Johnson]

Spurs will Take Utah out in 5 games next round.

[peskypesky]

i love how the spurs are contesting EVERYTHING at the rim.

[polandprzem]

Scott not using Armstrong more surprised me - I thought he will be one of the froncourt Hornets army

[efrem1]

Bench time!!

What do you expect from a group of fans who have the queen bitch (Chris Paul) as a role model?

[peskypesky]

this is NOT our most impressive Offensive line-up, is it?

Hopefully this court time will get Ime and Barry going for the remainder of the series.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Ime with the orebound. Great game by Udoka tonight!

UDOKA is indeed the

This is gonna be one hell of a Game 5.

you would've thought they'd be smart enough to realize that things would get tougher when Tim was well, but no.

:lol. but do not be too hard on the hornets trolls. you know, they excited that their team is making good showinng.

[hsxvvd]

Game 5 is HUGE!!!

[justanotherspursfan]

:tu to Bruce Bowen.

Peja Stojakovic: 32 minutes, 3-9 FG, six points.

As badly as Bruce has owned him, Peja would have have helped the Hornets more by calling in sick for tonight.

[m33p0]

oh shut up, reggie. its a GAME 5!

[peskypesky]

i have to admit, i knew Tim would have a monster game tonight, but I did not think we'd blow them out THIS bad.

[pad300]

Max 17 games left in the season, and the "old" guys are finally getting warmed up and laying it all out on the court. Looking good boys!!!

[rasho8]

So I wonder if this is another of those "New Orleans Test Games" that troll was bragging about.

Get blown out huge so Scott can scout our bench.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Scott not using Armstrong more surprised me - I thought he will be one of the froncourt Hornets army

Tim owned him all year. Ely was a better option I guess. Bench frontcourt is the Hornets' big weakness.

[Deb]

yeah i agree. the hornets trolls were ridiculously pompous and over-confident and disrespectful, especially when you factor in that NO lucked out by playing against a sick Tim Duncan.

you would've thought they'd be smart enough to realize that things would get tougher when Tim was well, but no.

Yeah, especially calling out the ones who put down women Spurs fans.

Barry stretching his claf after that wild Vaughn pass

[nfg3]

Our bench contributed today. This i a good development for us. Udoka has been huge off the bench and Finley has done well. Many have said it but game 5 is going to be huge. I believe that when we win game 5 in a series then we wiin the series.

Excellent all around game for the Spurs.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Nobody mentioned DWest game. 4-15 FG, 10 Pts, 5 Rb, only blocks and steals to show in this game

We've got him confused. Thomas has figured out his favorite moves, and Pop is throwing random doubles at him at different times (but not all the time).

He's looking over his shoulder for the double now instead of just playing to get his shot.

[hsxvvd]

So Uncle Moe is now on our side.

Damn, this is all good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[nfg3]

Harlen spoke about this type of defeat and what it can do to a young team's mind. This is something that many other besides myself have been saying for some time. So what did Reggie do? He just seemingly brushed it aside as not a significant issue. BS Reggie! It is a siginificant issue. You of all people should know what it takes to get to the Finals. Only one trip in your entire career! They have got to be wondering what happened to the M created in the first two games of this series.

GAME 5 IS GOING TO BE FANTASTIC!

BRING IT ON!

[TampaDude]

I fucking TOLD Y'ALL that Timmy was gonna have a big game tonight...he's healthy again, and it shows...time to steal one in N'awlins and close this shit out in 6!!!

[JustSpurs]

I don't know about other Hornets fans, but the Hornets have been my favorite team since I was 8 or 9 years old. The days of Mourning, Johnson, Bogues, and role players like David Wingate. I guess I got lucky with the Hornets coming to New Orleans.

What I do know from watching basketball for a long time, is that in a 7 game series, the team that has home court advantage, and wins it's first two at home usually end up losing game 3 on the road. It's happened in all but one series this year. (LAvsDEN) Hell, it even happened to my Hornets in the first round against the Mavs. You can all expect a diffrent Hornets team in game 4, and I am positive it will be the team you watched in games 1 and 2.

Huh? :lmao

[duncan228]

:lol I was wondering who he was doing that to. Are you sure they were his kids.....?

He only does it to his kids, so I'm assuming it was. I'll have to replay it later to see if they were with Amy.

[SpurAddict561]

Barkley is such a hater..lmaoo

[Deb]

Friggin Barkley a NO homer.

[Biggems]

vaughn blew an easy 2 for Barry...i dont like vaughn. Barry got a lot of time in the 4th, wish he would have been more aggressive looking for his shot. I want him to get more minutes.

[SpursDynasty]

Good win for the Spurs, but there should be no big celebrating on this forum tonight. It was just a team we were supposed to beat, easy W...We should have won this series by now but we'll close them out Thursday night at the AT&T Center.

Nope because the D showed up tonight and Timmy is back to being healthy, we have a lot of momentum right now.

Peja Stojakovic: 32 minutes, 3-9 FG, six points.

Pisses me off that switch was not made after game 1, Peja can't get off with Bowen checking him to save his life.

It was just a team we were supposed to beat, easy W...We should have won this series by now but we'll close them out Thursday night at the AT&T Center.

There's the SD we love! :lol

[Texas_Ranger]

Great game by the Spurs. Just don't let NO to win game 5.

>GO SPURS GO!

is it true or just a joke?

bless barry.

:lol I was wondering who he was doing that to. Are you sure they were his kids.....?

I just confirmed it, his daughter was there, it was her he was blowing kisses to.

[gameFACE]

Now THAT's what I was talkin' about!! I didn't expect a blow-out but i'll take it.

[thealchemist]

My quick recap from another board.

Um, yeah I can give you some insight. The Spurs were amazing!!!

Tim Duncan was aggressive. Tony Parker was aggressive. Manu is pissed and decided we will win this series.

A few quick notes:

Tim Duncan did not wait for the double every time down the court. He would often get the ball higher in the post and drove to the basket.

Parker did not depend on the pick and roll. He was dedicated to finding holes and penetrating.

The pick and roll was not the same as we have seen it in previous games. They would set up the pick and roll away from the ball. Parker would start to drive, pull the defense and the pass it to Manu who then would run the pick and roll with Duncan or kick out when neccessary.

Ball movement was the best that I have seen this season. Games like this for the Spurs remind me why we have won championships in the past. Not only did we have great kick-outs which is the standard, but extra passes on the perimeter, as well as interior ball movement. Just great team basketball.

Bowen shut down Peja, again.

Thomas and Oberto did a great job against West.

Scott made poor coaching decision in 3rd to leave Chandler in with four fouls. Picked up his fifth half way through. Nail in the coffin for their interior defense.

62% shooting in the first half for the Spurs.

There is definitely more, but I have to go to bed.

Go Spurs, Go!!!

He has a very close bond with his daughter. I remember last year after a playoff game with the Nuggets, he was making funny faces at her in his press conference and then she came running over to him when he left the podium.

[peskypesky]

I fucking TOLD Y'ALL that Timmy was gonna have a big game tonight...he's healthy again, and it shows...time to steal one in N'awlins and close this shit out in 6!!!

:toast

I've been taking shit at work for the two losses in NO, and I've been telling people, "just wait, when Tim is healthy, he'll eat these chumps for breakfast. if amare and shaq couldn't slow him down, west and chandler better watch out."

call it an excuse, or call it an explanation, but Tim was sick those first two games, so the Hornets got off easy. look how tim plays when he's well.
:flag:

I remember that well, it was a wonderful sight to see him swoop her up in his arms as he left the podium.

bless barry.

I was really worried about it too. It really looked like he tweaked it trying to save that ball from going OB. And it looked like he was stretching it out as they went into a commercial break.

Good game, refs, good game. It's tough for us to beat a team who gets away with murder on the court then we breath on them and they go to the line....

But you guys did shoot lights out - I'll give you that. Good game, but can you shoot that way in the hive? Tune in tuesday night, turn up the sound and get ready to hear a real home court advantage.

Yeah Chris Paul's pushoffs, and Chandler and West's moving picks were keys to the Spurs getting a lead.

Huh, what, they weren't called??

Oh...

Funny you say "real home court advantage" when NOH was about 26th in the league in attendance this year.

[HornetGumboBalls]

Sadly, that stat is correct. But if you check out the stats after the "bandwagon" got rolling, probably around mid-jan. to present, I'm sure you'll find it a wee bit higher. Anyway, it's loud as hell. South Lousiana fans have a reputation for being the drunkest loudest fans in the country. It's tough to win in the hive.

[Manufan909]

No, it's tough to win in Utah. NO needed owning the Mavs to get momentum, we only needed to get healthy and recover from an actually challenging first-round. An it'd be 3-1 if Bowen had moved to Peja in Game 2. Peja's 25 points averaged to like 30 NO points when you take into account the spacing he earned his team. Get Bowen to cancel him out AND outscore him(yeah I said it, Bowen actually outscored who he guarded in 2 consecutive games), and you are fucked. And our twenty point win came with taking out our key player with 8 minutes left, and Byron Scott decided to just fucking pad his players' stats.

And something funny I read was how the Spurs are collectively only 3 years older than the Hornets. I didn't do the math, but when I heard Peja was 31 AND the oldest player, I expected like a 5 year difference. If everyone on are team is like 34, then what gives. Sorry, I'm just too lazy to do the math. I only know RH=37, BB=36, TP=29, MG=31(maybe not, he could be 30), TD=31, MB=29, everyone else being like 34. I guess Ian got averaged in, him being 21 really helps out. My half-ass math puts the Spurs at 32.79, but I'd expect the Hornets to be around 28, so what gives? I know the NBA wouldn't be wrong about the Spurs age since they poke fun at it constantly, but I thought there would be more of a disparity.

It's tough to win in the hive.

Theres only one hive, and it was in Charlotte...

Ya i'm not sure how bees feel about the swamps.

[word]

Same. 3-1 is too much of a hill to climb, but if the Spurs manage to tie this thing up then the momentum/experience is in their favor and I agree it's over.


And won with authority as was given to us in the crescent city...we gave back what we got....I told me seat mates....they must 'crush their spirit' ..now.

Let us hope that is so and the force is with them. Either way, I tear an orange ticket from the book...hoping ..with 'em all the way...win or lose.

You just had to get out of your temporary home of Oklahoma. Trust me, we felt your pain.

CFB fan here....Hook 'em all the way but if I can't get that...LSU all the way. My two favorite teams.

Nothing pains me more than having to hate Kevin Durant. Seattle...fine. Oklahoma. No.

Lights out? You can tell yourself that if it makes you feel better. The Spurs shot 30% from the 3P line, and 70% from the FT line. They just shot an adequate percentage on their jump shots. If they had really shot lights-out, it would have been a total blood bath.

Tim and Tony cut the Hornets to shreds in the paint. And yes, those will continue to be high percentage shots in New Orleans. (A mud-dauber nest isn't properly called a hive, is it?)

The calls? Funny how they guys who were supposed to be too tough to ever need to flop are flying all over the court looking for whistles now. It's a bitch when the refs are calling things similar on both ends of the court.

Of course, it doesn't matter at all about how the hornets play. The hornets haven't beaten the spurs 4 times this year, the spurs beat themselves. I get it.

Getting it yet?

[Thunder Dan]

who called the game last night Harlen or Marv?

[Manufan909]

GO CAVS!!! If you pull a series like you did in the ECF last year, then props to King James. Man if the Celtics don't get to the Finals I will laugh my ass off, but I don't think it could really be entertaining any other way. We all know what a Spurs-Cavs Finals looks like.

[dbreiden83080]

I see game 5 will not tip until basically 10 on the east coast . Living on the EC These start times are brutal. Why the hell is the NBA so west coast oriented???

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Because people on the west coast would never be able to catch a game at 5 pm.


If anything, the EC games get screwed on the west coast, because weekdays are tricky for 9-5 people to catch games until they are later in the evening.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

I should clarify, I meant if there was a Lakers game on a Thursday at 5 pm (8 pm eastern) it could hinder the number of people that would show up because of such an early start time on a weekday.



Also, start the game 5 blog, you've been awesome luck for the Spurs so far!

[dbreiden83080]

I just wish they were on maybe 1 hr earlier, tough when you have to get up at 6 am and the games are over at 1 am in the east. Missing a game is never an option for me, so i just suck it up with lots of morning coffee. :toast
