The Hornets will be a good measuring stick.

A belief that the Spurs flipped the switch tonight will evaporate quickly if they don't get out of Miami with another W.
True.Shoog was a Hornets fan back when they were the Jazz.
I remember him rockin that Pistol Pete throwback at the one GTG...
To imply I was ever a Jazz fan is a low blow.
What kind of de able, low-life, wuthless person would ever have been a Jazz fan at any point in their miserable life?
Um, except Kori, that is.
" o, Im shoogar, and I use to be an old school Jazz fan"
" o shoogar"
The club never had a jazz in their name.
Or maybe they do have a band there?
wait..... you mean the Spurs DONT suck??
This game was an encouraging sign, and the Spurs are under the radar too, right where they like to be.
Let espn and the media talk about the celtics, lakers, hornets, magic, blazers, whoever. We've all seen this movie before.
we just needed barry back is what it came down to. then we have our rhythm and its smooth sailing
Me too. Last year the road trip was an indecisive 4-4, but it brought the team together and they never looked back. Same again on the menu this year.
Obviously we didn't have to wait for the Hornets game for a measuring stick.
Someone was mentioning a flipped switch? Did it get flipped back the other way?
No, the light just flickered.
I'd say pulling out a win on the road against a team shooting out of their minds for most of the game, and when your dependable scorers had an off night AND using your defense to win is a pretty good indicator things have changed a bit.
even when this team has been at the top of its game, wins on back-to-backs over anybody have never been easy to come by.
they did shoot 49%, so I don't think the defense gave many good indicators (although it did lock down when the Spurs needed it).
but it's a step. our guys probably lose this game a couple of weeks ago.
TO me the defense worked to plan, close the lane force D Wade to pass to others, and Mark Blount, Jason Williams, and other stooges shot out of their minds most of the game. Especially Mark Blount.they did shoot 49%, so I don't think the defense gave many good indicators (although it did lock down when the Spurs needed it).
I agree, and agree generally that a win, under the cir stances, was nothing to really sneeze at, but I'm not ready to believe quite yet that the Spurs have completely turned the corner and are starting to roll downhill quite yet. Obviously, I hope I'm wrong about that, but there were still somet things tonight that left me reluctant to buy into the flipped switch conclusion.
Yeah the Hornets are definately the measuring stick according to Shoog
The switch just got flipped off yet again. I love the Spurs as much as anyone but I doubt any domination this season. I'm a realist first and optimistic second. I don't see this squad right now doing much. Broken D, no ball movement, no set rotation, poor rebounding, old, high expectations. It's just too much to overcome and what needs to be done wont be due to a stubborn front office.
I still don't consider a jump shooting team, and has Peja Stoyakovic relied on heavily to help let off pressure on the inside.
Personally the Spurs switched way too much on defense, and there was way too much double teaming of Chris Paul.
Bowen should've stayed on Peja, and Udoka to Paul and let Parker play free roamer.
Good call.
