What the Spurs have that the Hornets don't:
1. Tim Duncan
2. Four Championships
3. The Heart of a Champion
and oh yeah, Tim Duncan
1) chris paul...on another level right now. nobody can stop him this kid scares me more than any player the spurs have ever faced.
2) rebounds- spurs have to win the boards so we can control the game..hornets have chandler who is excellent at offensvie rebounding and bonzi may see time because he plays good against the spurs.
3)david west- other than duncan spurs really have nobody who can hang....and i dont want duncan on him cause we need duncan to stay out of foul trouble.
4)home court- new orleans seems really tough to beat at home and they have the advantage with the home court... means spurs need to win possibly 2 games to win the series.
And they have chris paul

Spurs should be able to defend the pick n roll with Paul and Chandler much better than Dallas. Also, playoff experience will cost the Hornets one game in this series.
Spurs in six.
Ugh. I hate the layoff days between games. It's round of speculation followed by rounds of counter-speculation of the "We have Tim Duncan/Championships/Playoff Experience/etc" variety.

ok...whats ur point?
Scratch #3 BAAAAAAA. Wrong
To me, the main question is:
Did the Spurs just prove they still "have it", or did the Suns just show that the still don't? In other words, did we just beat an elite team or a mediocre one? After all, the Suns were a Frankenstein monster there at the end. You normally just can't change your complete iden y in a month and expect to win a championship.
The Hornets series, in my opinon, will answer that question.
...if you dont believe then i can stop the bus????
I'm not worried.
What. Ever.
this is what the boss says at work everytime the spurs win
It's gonna be a tough series...I'm still going with Spurs in 6.
I just keep thinking about the Hornets/Dallas series vs. the Spurs/Suns series. Dallas looked completely dismantled - especially in the last game. Plus they have no history of defense, per'se. The Suns looked slightly worse than in previous PO's against the Spurs (mainly because of Shaq), but, IMHO, looked a lot better than Dallas in their series. Paul is a great player, no doubt about it, but I just don't think he (and West) will be enough to win 4 games against this Spurs team. Many people outside of the Spurs fan base don't realize just how much more mentally focused this Spurs team is during the PO's vs the RS. It's unreal. I think the Spurs will "steal" G1 or G2 (maybe even both) and go on to win the series (probably drop another game along the way).
Spurs in 6
I think a lot of surprises are in store for both teams.
For sure... the Hornets are not to be taken lightly... talk about playing with heart!
Obviously, they want Celtics, how else can you explain why KG was not suspended for his shove of an NBA ref on Monday????
Had that been Rasheed, he would have been suspended for 3 games.
I am worried the Spurs will take the Hornets likely. But if they are considered the underdogs in this series, then that usually bolds well for them
This series reminds me quite a bit of the Utah series last year.
Supremely talented young point guard.
Scoring PF (though in different ways).
Tough defensive style (rough you up, not necessarily strong defense).
Long athletic defensive big (though Chandler >>>> AK47)
Both are young and talented teams.
A shooting big (Okur and Peja).
On the other hand, I think NO is much more dangerous than Utah was last year, could be a 6-7 game series.
I'm sure Pop will get the Spurs prepared well.
Louis!!!!
You've regrouped!
Good to see you back!
The spurs win this in 4 games.
