Hornets @ Spurs Game 3 Blog

hornets are helping spurs figure the double teaming of duncan if they get by hornets when they face lakers

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

Just stay on him is all we need him to do. Those wide open 3's in NO's he was hitting were daggers. Everytime we got close he seemed to be wide ass open.

THank GOD on to game 4 GO SPurs GO

[florige]

I expect once Pop figures out a way to get that fool Chandler in foul trouble we should start rolling along. I will give West and Paul all their points. If we can figure out that potent offensive attack in Phx, we can figure these guys out.

I just wanted to say that no one deserved to die in NO when Katrina came by, but I will re-iterate that all the criminals that raised the crime rate in SA, you can have them back because that is a basic fact!!! BTW, blame FEMA because most of the people that died could still be alive if they didn't screw up the way they did.

The Hornets lost this game on the defensive end, not on the offensive end. They've scored a number of different ways in Games 1/2, but were always consistent defensively.

Tonight, especially in the 4th, was the 1st time in the series the Spurs were able to impose their will on the Hornets and get the shots they wanted. That's why they won, not because Peja/Mo Pete didn't go off.

"Tyson Chandler dunked alley-oop passes from West, Paul and Wells in the first half, each time quieting the raucous Spurs crowd that took to booing both the officials and the Hornets."

This was part of the recap? Maybe they were booing the refs because the refs sucked and Paul because he's crying more than a one year old.

Does anyone know what exactly is wrong with Tim? I heard earlier in the broadcast that he was getting some IV, but I', not sure if they were talking about the game in NO or if this is recent.

Spurs are mentally tougher than anyone in the NBA. they get game 4 and they will win this series.

Not entirely true. Both are right. Read your own post again, it start's with defense, Spurs defense today, not giving easy spots for thouse guys. Spurs D was there all the game.

I'm so tired to read lakers fans comments. They all seems stupids.

Yeah Peja and Mo pete not having 38 combined was not a factor at all.

God are you dumb.

he he

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

A mix of Manu's decision making + team play on the offensive end (Timmy, Bowen, Parker baskets)+ defensive stops won us the game in the 4th quarter

Spurs ball

I like how the Hornets lost their composure in the end because of it

[T Park]

Play them the exact same way in game 4 and you win by 20.

Duncan missed some chippies he normally makes.

Play exactly the same on sunday, with the same agression, the same defense, the same rotations, EVERYTHING.

I'm glad also Tim finally discovered, if you put your hands up, sometimes you can stop an alley oop!!!
WOW!!

[ducks]

manu had a quick three turnovers in the first few minutes but none after that
PROPS

Yea boys!
Good night all!

He's been running a '24' hour bug since Saturday. The report from the team doctor to TNT sideline Monday said he had a 103 fever Sunday and they did IV meds and fluids in his room.
It seems he's still trying to shake it, tonight's sideline said he was 101 yesterday.
Pop and Duncan denied it in the post game press Monday, they weren't asked tonight.
He still looked sick to me tonight, black bags under his eyes, obviously winded, not himself. I hope by Sunday he's completely over it (and no other Spur gets it.)

there is a poster/troll that posts under the s/n debbie downer.

Guess I need to change my screen name. May explain why I have gotten ostracized in the past

Yeah he didn't totally look 100% tonight, but I tell ya what, Manu sure as did.

Manu is gettin healthier Hornet fan, you best be scared.

[dbreiden83080]

TD is coming, he is ready to take this thing over, game 4 may be his game

[gobo]

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

Hurricane Ginobili coming to finish what Katrina started.

Chill out dude! This is only basketball game. Do not play with the natural disaster that took many lives.

[DazedAndConfused]

Wow I never thought I'd see Spurs fan sink this low. Katrina smack??? That is as pathetic as it gets. Way worse than anything I've seen from even Suns fans.
