Remember the Hornets

[ATXSPUR]

We were in a similar spot against them a couple of years ago and that turned out pretty well, I just don't know if this Spurs team has it in them though. But still, as disgusted and ready for football season as I am right now I can't stop believing yet.

series is far from over.....Believe

[alchemist]

couple differences though

--Bonner/Blair combo didn't exist
--I don't remember the Spurs just beating themselves mentally
--I don't think the Hornets bench at any point was better than Tim/Tony/Manu all on the court at the same time

I Believe

this team is toast, phoenix has the spurs number.

i remember how we were out of gas when we played the lakers b/c the hornets series went 7 games.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

The problem with remembering the hornets is that the Spurs were gassed for the lakers. If you can take a game like tonight's you need to take it.

I agree. Dallas was the better team, but Phoenix has better matchups vs the spurs.

[NewJerSpur]

I believe. We had a gimpy Manu, a shortened bench, and no answer for the PnR (particularly on the road). The Hornets were the better team for much of the series but we found a way. Won't be easy, but nothing's impossible.

[DontStopBelieving]

I won't be in panic mode unless we lose one at home in 3-4.

[sammy]

I Believe! Spurs will take this in 6!

[Kamala]

Spurs in 6. Channing Frye and Dudley will not bring this game on the road.

[mexicanjunior]

Mason, Bonner and Hill weren't factors in that Hornets series...not a valid comparison.

Well if that's true, then the series is at least tied 2-2. The Spurs had control of the game, unfortunately the Suns were gambling and winning big time.

[Ghazi]

It's possible but

That Hornets team was led by losers like Chris Paul and David West.

Nash > Paul, Amare > West, J-Rich > Peja

We were still getting sliced up by the pnr and had no one that had Timmy's back in the front court (Fab + KT). Ime Udoka wasn't a gamebreaker either and Horry wasn't as effective as in years past having come off an injury.

LMAO pop just made fun of this

[mexicanjunior]

LOL...Popovich just ripped a reporter in the press conference for trying to bring up "Remember the Hornets"...if only he could see this thread.

[LakerHater]

Well I agree but, I dont think the Spurs are jus gonna roll over!

I would take Horry, Udoka and KT in a heartbeep over what we are calling a bench these days.

[GSH]

Well don't say that around Pop. He just about disembowled a reporter in the post-game for saying exactly that.

[Dro210]

Hahahahah... Pop was just asked about this...

"What? Think about the Hornets 2 years ago?... lol... No, I won't think about that at all. These are grown men, they don't need me to say that. 'Remember the Hornets fellas, we gotta really pull it together for game 3!'... Maybe I'll talk about the Gipper"

[mexicanjunior]

Hahahahah... Pop was just asked about this...

Maybe if the reporter used the word "Believe" in his question, he might have been more cordial...

[Dro210]

Remember the Hornets!

Remember the Alamo!
