they did not get to the line because almost every player Sucks and cannot create, and Paul didnt start playing till the 4th quarter
i think that helped the spurs

Happy MLK day, my favorite holiday. However, the Spurs wanted this one more than your boys.
Good luck with the Saints though. A championship for them would be great mojo for the Big Easy!!!
god bless
don't agree about the FT but i've got to admit the two last whistles (CP offensive foul and technical for Hill last FT) were questionable.
There is a good reason for this favoritism, to have a balanced game refs need to give 38 FTs for the spurs to convert 12.
too true....
You too and God bless New Orleans.
sons the official post game report is out ...
NBA Officials lead Spurs past Hornets, 97-90
By Brett Martel
The NBA officials helped push the San Antonio Spurs over the New Orleans Hornets 97-90 on Monday. It was a relatively close game until the officials working the game decided to take control and award the Spurs with 38 free throws compared to the Hornets 12 once they received the go ahead from NBA commissioner David Stern.
Tony Parker scored 25 points and Tim Duncan added 21 points and 14 rebounds, while George Hill scored 16 points and Manu Ginobili had 11 to help the Spurs snap a two-game losing streak.
David West scored 18 points for New Orleans, which lost for only the second time in its last 15 home games. Chris Paul, who fouled out in the final minute, had 18 points and nine assists for the Hornets, while Marcus Thornton scored 16 points.
Hill started in place of Richard Jefferson, who sat out with lower back pain.
San Antonio led by double digits for most of the game, going up by as many as 21 points when Duncan hit one of two free throws to make it 76-55 late in the third quarter.
The Spurs went into the fourth quarter with a 17-point lead, which the Hornets quickly trimmed with a 7-0 run to open the period. Thornton’s fast-break layup made it 78-68 and the Hornets pulled to 80-72 on Darren Collison’s free throws with 7:06 remaining.
New Orleans missed several chances to get closer and still trailed by eight when Parker’s driving scoop made it 84-74 with 4:40 to go. Parker scored seven more points in the final minutes.
San Antonio outrebounded New Orleans 50-38 and was the more forceful team drawing fouls inside. Despite missing 14 free throws, the Spurs still outscored the Hornets 24-10 from the foul line. The Spurs were 7 of 18 from 3-point range with Keith Bogans hitting three. New Orleans went only 4 of 13 from long range.
Ginobili’s 3-pointer made it 24-12 at the end of the first quarter. The lead got as large as 18 in the second quarter on Hill’s reverse layup, which capped a 9-2 run and made it 47-29.
Parker had 16 points by halftime, when the Spurs led 56-41.
Duncan commented after the game, "Anytime you can get the kind of help that we received today its a blessing".
NOTES: Jefferson had not missed any of the Spurs’ previous 39 games. … James Posey and Parker were called for double technical fouls in the fourth quarter. … New Orleans is 15-4 at home. … The Spurs are 8-9 on the road. … This was the second of four meetings this season between San Antonio and New Orleans. The Spurs won the first, 113-96 at home. … Paul’s CP3 foundation announced that the guard had made a $61,616.61 donation to relief efforts in Haiti. The amount was to honor his grandfather, who was slain when he was 61.
It was a clear path foul... so 2 FT + the ball. It was a good call.
lol how did I know you would only defend that foul and not the CP one
true. my bad.
You obviously didn't watch the game. The Hornets played like in the 1st half, that's why they lost that game.
And the fouls of CP3 with his forearm are never whistled by the refs, so i was very suprised when George Hill get that call... in New Orleans.
And i don't care if the calls were in favor of the Spurs or not, we get the win. Yeah !
this isn't different for fans of any team. it is the way of the basketball fan, simply because most fans of basketball know close to nothing about the sport and also constantly have homer glasses on. if it goes your way, your team earned it. if it goes against you, you got cheated by the refs.
seriously with it being MLK day, do the Spurs have more blacks on their team than N.O.? Seriously are you a tool?
Wow, you have WAY too much time on your hands...
nah...he brings fire to us...dude can play, when he wants to.
sons this game just proves how much david west is really the star of this team
when cp3 sat down he lead them the hornets to come back within 6 pts, when cp3 came back in all broke loose
Troll thread????? Faul didn't have enough barrel rolls to influence the refs, son. Besides, it's a reg season game, so stop treating it like it's the Finals, son.
well things go a bit differently when CP3 is actually called for the fouls he commits.
BTW, what does it matter if the Spurs shot twice as many FTs as any team, since they miss half of them anyway.
What is your excuse for that bush league move by Posey, when he stuck out his leg to trip Duncan as Timmy was going up for the layup? That was cheap and dirty. There is no business for that kind of play.
This thread is borderline Mavs fan whining.
what are you talking about. It was an offensive foul. CP3 lowered his shoulder and ran over Hill.
As for the last set of FTs by Hill....it was a breakaway foul. Hill was ahead of all defenders. When a foul is committed it is called a breakaway foul.....2 FTs and the ball.
what ? why did you quote me ? you smoked something ?
lol son it took less than 60 seconds to edit itWow, you have WAY too much time on your hands...
Hornets lose because they didn't start being aggressive and playing real basketball until the 4th Quarter. If they played the whole game like they did in the 4th, they would have won. It may have even been a blowout.
That's why the Hornets lose.
