Who's going to step up against the Hornets?

[BiZNicK]

Which Spurs player will step up? Who is the key to this series? Will Tony Parker continue his hot performance as he did against the Suns? Will Manu turn things around and overcome his injury? Etc....

Manu needs to come up huge. Utah hates Manu, Phoenix hates Manu, Dallas hates Manu....time for New Orleans to hate Manu....

I gues TD and Manu. I can't see Parker scoring 30 against CP3.

[BiZNicK]

I agree.

With a weaker interior defense, I expect Manu to have more success in the paint. And since the Hornets don't have a 1st All-NBA Defender...he shouldn't have to struggle as much.

I'll go out on a limb and say Udoka will shock the world. He'll slow down Bonzi, hit a few threes to spur on the second unit, and beat up 30-35 Hornets fans who look at him funny.

I gues Tyson is a pretty good defender.(I'm not sure about West). But Those two will be focused on TD, so they won't be able to help that much, when Manu or Tony get in the paint.

It's M A N U time. Tim and Tony took turns destroying the Suns. Now is time for Tim and Tony to pull their man out of the way and let Manu destroy the Hornets.

I wonder who they will put on Manu? Whoever, I think he's in for some long nights.

I'm gonna go wild and say....Finley.

I think Horry may have at least one more big shot/play during the series. He looked good in the 4th against Phoenix (I'm thinking especially of when he swat the ball from Nash in the closing minutes) and if he is truly healthy I think we will start to see more of him during crunch time.

Pop goes nuts and inserts super small lineup of Damon Stoudemire, Jaque Vaughn, and TP.
