The reason it was a blowout

[Deuces88]

The reason why TD was limited to 5 points was because he was doubled every time he got the ball causing other players to be wide open but most of the time, those wide open players didn't hit their shots.

For the last time, Tim got good looks, but those looks just weren't dropping and his confidence went down. That's why he was held to 5 points. For the most part he defeated himself.

The Spurs lost the game because they couldn't buy a basket in the second half, and Tim was ineffective. But... it was a blowout because they took 15 more shots than we did.

That's right 15 more shots than we took. Even shooting as badly as we did, it's a close game without that.

look for tim to have a monster game next time.

Tim will probably blame himself and will come out blazing game 2. I have a feeling Spurs will dominate the whole game and go back to San Antonio tied up.

I dont expect the wins to be as lopsided and I do expect the Spurs to win so games. They are better than what I saw on the floor tonight. Maybe they just thought the Hornets would be all wide eyed and green and buy into to all that "experience cant be over looked " The Hornets looked pissed and played with purpose. I hope they keep it up because thats what it will take to beat a CHampion

Horrific game from Duncan (God i was pissed watching that but he'll be OK)

Manu was pretty bad as well (His health has me a bit worried right now)

Bad defense and rebounding was the story here and West kicked our ass, we may need to double him.

...or take him to the French Quarter before Monday's game... and keep him there.

spurs have a history of playing piss poor basketball. and they've been playing for long time to know never to take anyone for granted. if this was, say the suns, spurs already know their tendencies and would have already taken advantage of them. this was a feel-out game for them since this is the first time they played the hornets the in the playoffs. i was hoping for a win but expecting them to lose game 1. what i, and many spurs fans, can't take was the way they performed. flat is a word that comes to mind to describe it.
