Game Blog: Hornets @ Spurs, March 5

[ElNono]

Spurs defense was still bad. I thought the defense against West by Bonner was actually decent, but he was still scoring.

Guards seem to be torching the Spurs though. That combined with front courts that have been doing it all year is not great. But overall, the team looks better and they are usually throwing a solid 2.5 quarters of defense in a game.

Our defense was very sloppy at times. We need to start playing for 48 minutes. Let's see if having Dice helps on that.

lol Bonner outproducing RJ in less minutes.

RJ had a typical RJ night.

He tried to drive a few times to start the game, but didn't get the benefit of the call and ended up losing the ball in traffic.

After that, he reverted back to his meek, perimeter roaming ways, and he never got on any sort of a roll.

Yeah, wait until he plays for another team.

Well the only thing I have to say is WTG Keith Bogans! He was really good. Even his defense was more active and more effective. That steal and assist he had was my favorite play of the game. If he can continue to play like that and keep his three point percentage at least decent, the Spurs can stave off their lack of interior defense until the second round of the playoffs.

I hate when Bogans has a good game because all it does is provide ammo for Pop to continue to play him. Sure, if he was any sort of consistent or good that would be great, but 1 out of every 10 games is just fools gold.

It's pretty much a given that he's not going to lose playing time no matter how poorly he performs, so the best we can do is hope that he actually turns into the player Pop seems to think he is. The fact that he did it means he can do it again. I might be rooting for him to get hurt, but if he stays healthy, I'm rooting for him to play well.

look at cp3 on the bench

Bonner and Bogans had nice contributions. Both made their shots and they held up strong on defense particularly Bogans with hustle. That's all you can ask of them.

Good win, against a team that was a tough cover even with-out Chris Paul.

Now if possible , people need to see the slick pass from Manu to Blair around 2defenders into they keyway for an easy lay-up. Almost behind the back , not sure how Manu saw him, great catch by Blair who was actually expecting it . Eyes in the back of Manu's head? Or maybe it's that Symbiosis Mcdonald was talking about . Just amazing.
