They are outplaying us but there is no way in I will say Byron Scott is a better coach than Pop. Let's see him win 4 rings first.
They kicked the Spurs' ass back-to-back. I haven't seen the Spurs play them well all season long. If nothing changes, the Hornets will win in 5 or 6.
If so, good luck to the Hornets against the Lakers in the WCF.
The regular season is starting to make sense to me now:
1. Lakers
2. Hornets
Right now, the Hornets are better coached, more athletic, better shooters, better DEFENDERS, (should I continue?)

just wait 4 years and he will have them.
Classy thread man. Game 3 is San Antonio could be a totally different story on Thursday. I appreciate the honesty though.
They were my pick for our toughest opponent going into the playoffs based on their regular season demolitions of our team, and they have come through and proven me right so far unfortunately.
I actually like them a whole lot, and it's a very well constructed/balanced team. That Paul wasn't MVP is a travesty. Glad I have West in my DL2 team.
Having said that, GO SPURS GO!!! (fingers crossed)
Thanks for the kind words guys, it feels good that someone is recognizing us for once.
I'm rooting for you all the way if you beat us. It's nice to play against a team that I don't despise for once (Mavs, Suns, Jazz, Lakers).
Oh, I believe they're already planning your national tv schedule next year.
Their defense is tremendous, forced lots of turnovers. Then you got both outside shooting from the role guys and penetration, inside game from CP and the bigs... man i hate that we're playing the Hornets. Probably one of the most complete teams right now.
I still dont' think if you guys beat us, you'll be able to take on the Lakers ...which is most likely the team who'll advance.
(Jazz of course, still have a chance) .
give the lakers some love...![]()
Yep. All except for the better coached part. I think Pop's done/doing great as always. We're just psyched out, and why not?
I give the Hornets all the props in the world. But that team in black out there was not the San Antonio Spurs. Sure, a lot of it had to do with how well NO played. But that was still not the Spurs.
I hope the Spurs wake up soon and show up. I could handle being beat by this New Orleans team. What I can't handles is laying down and being a s of ourselves out there while doing it. Lay it all out there. Coach the out of the game. Play the out of the game. Just don't in' lay down.
But yes, the Hornets are legit. It's about time the Spurs play like they're aware of this fact.
I'll be the first one in line to eat the crow.
Completely outplayed us back to back. I'm a Spurs fan, and I won't be giving up on my team until the end, but gotta hand it to them Hornets.
Hey, if y'all advance, I'll be rooting for the Hornets to KICK SOME ASS. You guys have heart.
Props to the Hornets for sure. They played great. And Byron Scott's coaching has been brilliant.
But I still think all NO did was hold serve.
Props to the Hornets. They are as much of a mismatch as I thought they would be. The Spurs need to make some adjustments and make this a fight.
Sure wasn't. WTF?? Psyched out. It's crazy.
finally, im glad to see some people to talk reasonable basketball too. we should actually keep this thread only to serious basketball talk.
Good job Hornets, can't believe you had enough buses to get everyone to the arena, congrats!
We rode mexican style to the arena!
And it starts...
Never underestimate that factor...
Props to...
