Duncan is healthy. The Hornets had not experienced that in this series. Things have changed and the refs have nothing to do with it. Neither does location.
You guys have really figured us out these past two games. Even though we beat yall down in the first 2 games, I knew the Spurs would bounce back. I will be happy to be back in N.O. Tuesday night so that the refs are no longer on yalls side anymore. It's our turn to get all the calls again!

another thing the hornets haven't experienced: a pivotal game 5. it doesn't matter where the game is played. the preshuz iz on!
The officiating has been pretty kind to us in this game, but last game was a joke for most of the contest. We were lucky to get a win against those odds.
Now its down to a 3-game series with the pressure all on the Hornets.
And I think you're quickly gonna realize that with a healthy Tim Duncan, the Spurs are a much more different beast on the road.
yeah.
the refs let us get away with that 20-point shot.
that made all the difference.
Would you please consider using this photo instead?

Guys, don't get ahead of yourselves here, It's still just 2-2 and they have home court.
That being said, I think that Spurs have made their statement that they are still the champions until proven otherwise and aren't going quietly.
man it's clear the spurs have finally figured these guys out. The officiating was ok tonight. I see a lot of scared faces at the hornets bench.
I agree.
Don't expect to be up by 25 at this point in game 5.
Probably 15-17 is more reasonable.
how bout the new one I just put up!?
I approve of this new signature.
You really think this is all the refs?
Yep, they're screwing you guys when they let Paul get away with throwing bows/fists at Oberto, taking four steps on drives (and getting a foul call on Tony to boot), etc...
new sig!!!
I'll be in my bunk
I think we have a lift off...
Hornets are finally facing a contender. The Mavs? STFU. They were barely above 500 after the trade for Kidd. That Mavs team shouldn't have even been in the playoffs this year. And the first 2 games against the Spurs? No Tim Duncan. Our best player wasn't there.
Your luck has run out. Wish I could say I was sorry...
This game would have been a lot more fun if the Hornets showed up. Here is my breakdown of tonites game:
Good: Tony Parker shaved whatever the that was growing on his face.
Bad: Everything else.
I approve of both pic and gif... Id hit it.
Trust me guys, this is very typical in ALL NBA playoff series and has been for years. The NBA will do ANYTHING in their power to make every series last as long as possible (6 or 7 games). I am not saying that the NBA favors certain teams, but they do favor helping control the length of each series. Why you ask? Well it's plain and simple ... the more games means the more $$$$ for the NBA, the teams, the television networks, etc. and that is ALL that matters in their eyes. Don't worry guys, Tuesday whenever we are back in N.O. the refs will be back on our side. It's just up to us to play better and we WILL get the calls that the Spurs got tonight. You can't control what the NBA has already planned to do.obviously you had trouble understanding what I meant. there is no favoritism for teams in the NBA. all I am saying is that the NBA will do whatever it takes to HELP push series to as many games as possible. did you by any chance watch the first 3 quarters of this game? The Hornets were called for fouls ANYTIME they got near a Spurs player. even if we played poorly, its d@$m near impossible to come back whenever you are playing against two teams (Spurs & Refs).Bull . quit blaming the refs and admit your team got punked.well tonight may have been a bad example, BUT ... anyone who knows basketball could see the favoritism from the refs in the first 3 quarters. Regardless of how well or how poorly a team plays, you cannot come back whenever the refs calls are lop sided.

LOL Hornet's fan your team got slapped and owned all over the AT&T Center. Refs had nothing to do with it.
I still think your team will bounce back and Game 5 should be very compe ive.
The body on that chick is KILLING ME!!!
refs can't do about it. Spurs own the nets
.
yep. she is a P.A.W.G. ...
yeah, but what are you going to do about Parker, a healthy Duncan, an attacking Manu, a Bowen on Peja, and the pressure a young team like the hornets will be feeling against a team with a killer instinct like the Spurs? What about those things?
Oh, and God Bless your sig!
