Wow what an absolute ass kicking! Nice to see!
Really, i didnt notice, hope hes alright.
The bottom line is...the Spurs were out there just shooting some shots...just beating a team they were supposed to beat...no surprises there.SpursDynasty where are you?
Yup...after all those "heart attack" games we've seen recently, it's great to sit back and watch a nice, relaxing blowout.
I think manu had a sore neck that 300 pound hornet player fell on manu... manu and tony should get a day off hill and neal will step up
Heh...just keeping the legacy alive.
Great win at home. When we shoot like that it's hard to lose.
Wish we could shoot half as good every game.
Tony was also active from the get go, and I thought Blair played well too against West, a first. Really good way to bounce back from a fairly mediocre game against the Wolves.
Was only able to watch the first quarter, but looking at the stats, it looks like it was all Spurs this game. Glad to see Tony is back in his rhythm.
Yup...and the scrubs played the entire 4th quarter. Otherwise, the Spurs would've won by 50.
He got a full blown elbow from Okafor on the back of the neck. It looked pretty nasty. I was relieved to see him come back and play, and he looked ok. But I bet it's going to hurt a lot tomorrow.
I missed the game. Where are the damn quick grades?!
Ouch..
Won't worry much. Manu is God so he will be fine.
splitter is a bad finisher
the height of the nba players are bothering him he will adjust
he needs to try to post up duncan in practice
Really 2 of 4 a bad finisher?? come on man
You can make that judgment when he isn't
taking shots

Spurs pummel sliding Hornets to keep NBA-best mark
By Paul J. Weber
What the NBA’s best record doesn’t say about the San Antonio Spurs are the four times they’ve fallen behind by 15 points or more before scrambling back to win.
“We got to stop that,” Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said.
There was nothing to worry about in this game.
Tony Parker scored 19 points and the San Antonio Spurs beat the sliding New Orleans Hornets for the second time in a week, 109-84 on Sunday night, never trailing and leading by 38 in the most-lopsided game for the Hornets this season.
The Hornets also have other matters: George Shinn has agreed to sell the club to the NBA, a person familiar with the decision told The Associated Press before the game. Hornets forward David West called the ownership issue a “mess” after the game.
“During the summer we felt it was going one way, and I guess things started changing,” said West, who scored 13 points. “Who knows. It’ll be an experience I would imagine for us, coaching staff and all parties involved.”
Matt Bonner added 14 points for the Spurs, hitting four of five 3-point attempts. San Antonio improved its NBA-best record to 17-3 and matched its best start through 20 games since the 2007-08 season.
Parker, who had another strong night after failing to reach double figures in three of the previous five games, said the team talked before the game about the big deficits.
Among the times was just a week ago in New Orleans, where the Spurs trailed by 17 before rallying.
“We would start too slow, and defensively not reacting, not playing with the same passion, not the same energy,” Parker said.
Chris Paul had 16 points for the Hornets, who have lost four of five and lately look nothing like the team that opened 8-0.
“They smashed us,” Paul said. “They just beat us in all phases of the game. It’s pretty embarrassing.”
The Hornets are 2-6 in their last eight games, spoiling what had been a record start for the franchise. New Orleans gave up season highs for points allowed, opponent field-goal percentage (58.6 percent), opponent assists (29) and set a season low for rebounds (30).
At one point midway through the second quarter, the Spurs were still shooting 74 percent as a team.
“I’m not sure we’re going into the games with the same confidence that we had earlier in the season,” Paul said. “Somehow, some way, we got to get that confidence back, that swagger back.”
Tim Duncan had 11 points and nine rebounds before sitting for nearly the entire second half. Richard Jefferson scored 13 points, and George Hill and Gary Neal had 11 apiece.
West returned to the Hornets’ lineup after a stomach bug kept him out of a loss to New York on Friday night. West was 6 of 11 from the field and played 30 minutes.
Trevor Ariza also scored 13 points for New Orleans.
Shinn has been in negotiations to sell the team to minority owner and Louisiana native Gary Chouest since last spring, but talks have been stalled for months.
The league has lined up New Orleans-born sports attorney Jac Sperling, vice chairman of the NHL’s Minnesota Wild, to be the NBA’s administrator of the team and oversee its sale to a more permanent owner, the person told AP on condition of anonymity because the move has not been publicly announced.
First-year Hornets coach Monty Williams said he’s heard speculation about the potential sale since arriving in New Orleans but that didn’t know any details—and added that he didn’t want to know.
“There’s a number of distractions we have in our lives,” Williams said. “It’s not a big deal to us.”
NOTES: Hornets center D.J. Mbenga stayed in New Orleans while trying to overcome the same illness that had sidelined West. … Spurs F Tiago Splitter scored five points in 18 minutes, continuing to play only sparingly since being the crown jewel of the club’s offseason moves. Coach Gregg Popovich said Splitter’s impact and minutes have been hurt by him being injured for nearly all of training camp.
Wasn't able to catch the game but looks like the Spurs put the beat down on the Hornets. Damn.
San Antonio Spurs 109, New Orleans Hornets 84
by Jesse Blanchard
48 Minutes of
AT&T CENTER–Big deficit comebacks–and the need to avoid them–being a popular pregame topic of conversation, the San Antonio Spurs rang up a season-high 68 points in the first half on their way to a 109-84 victory over the New Orleans Hornets.
“You can only reach into that bag so many times, and we’ve done it five times already,” said Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich. “Eventually it will catch up to us.”
Having fallen behind quickly into double digit holes in the first two games against the Hornets, with one comeback successful and the first one falling just short, the San Antonio Spurs did what worked so successfully in their previous two games against the Hornets–spread a previously elite New Orleans defense out with four shooters, then bombard them with three-pointers, dribble penetration, and extra passes.
In a blowout like tonight, there are so many things to point out that the Spurs did right (or Hornets did wrong), but the most notable was dealing with pick and rolls (and, in fact, any play) involving Matt Bonner.

Good game and nice to see TP coming back.
