It's either the Lakers or Spurs coming out of the west this season. If Spurs lose to Hornets the Lakers go to the finals. If Spurs advance to the WCF then it's Spurs over L.A.
West and or Paul is due for a bad game.
The law of averages comes up tommarow with them and Duncan as well.

Go! Cavs Hornets
I think NOH is fake. In fact, to anyone on NOH that might read this thread, I challenge any of you to a 1 on 1 game, I will beat your a**.
Come on Spurs! You got this.
go spurs!!
Get it done, Spurs.
2-2 later tonight.
now that's just confusing
That's ornament in my room. We don't like hornets here those days
Go Spurs, I know you'll do it!
Wrong. Through 7 games this year only 1 game was decided by less than 10. It was a 9 point victory by the spurs. In fact, when the hornets win the average margin of victory is 21.5, with the lowest margin being 18 points. This average includes a 24 point victory AT san antonio. This team respects the spurs, but they don't fear them. And they definately aren't intimidated in your building. It's hard to deny facts but I'm sure a lot of you will. Whoever wins tonight will win by double digits, but my money is on the hornets running away with it in the 4th.If the hornets win game 4, it will be a thriller heartbreaking type of win. Not a double digit victory.

Yeah! We don't like to speak english good either!We don't like hornets here those days
Yes I like
*sigh* they still don't understand the difference between a regular season AT&T Center game and a playoff one.
Oh well...you can't blame them. They've only followed basketball for a few months.
Well, I know the playoff ones don't sell out either.*sigh* they still don't understand the difference between a regular season AT&T Center game and a playoff one.
Pop would sit Tim, TP, and Manu if the Spurs weren't within at least 10 points by the 6:00 mark.
Meanwhile the Hornets ran the score up.
That explains the so-called "blowouts" of the regular season.
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) , 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.
I think the Spurs match up much better against the Lakers than they do the Hornets though. Parker can guard Fisher much better than he can CP3. Bowen can contain Kobe as much as humanly possible. Odom and Gasol won't cause near as much trouble as Chandler and West. Now i'm not saying the Lakers will be cake...because unlike new orleans they two championship guards and championship coaching...not to mention they are the only team who has been able to beat us with some degree of consistency in the Duncan era.
THe matchups however, are still much prettier than the ones we have against the insects.
EUREKA!That explains the so-called "blowouts" of the regular season.
Props to the Spurs in Game 3. They came to play. But I suspect in Game 4 points in the paint for Ginobili and Parker will be a lot tougher to come by. They'll have to hit more outside shots. And look for much faster rotations by the Hornets on the defensive end. The Hornets will push the ball and try to create more baskets in transition, which should free up Peja a bit from Bowen. I look for Duncan to step up his game tonight, but N.O. will stick with the double team. In the end I think you'll see more offensive production from either Pargo or Wells, and the younger legs will prevail. Hornets pull away in the last few minutes.
Everyone is talking about what the Spurs will need to do, etc. etc. But what about the Hornets? Some things strike me as significant in this series:
Peja Stojakovic averaged 23.5 points in the first 2 games, then only 8 with Bowen guarding him. Peja can't put up big numbers anymore, plain and simple.
Chris Paul had his highest scoring game of the series in Game 3, and NOH still lost.
I see a close game playing out differently. When they're on their game, the Spurs execute beautifully in pressure situations. That dreaded word, experience, comes into play. If the game is tight at the end I see the Spurs pullng it out.
Eye of the beholder . . . or something like that.
I'm back in SA-town.
