Keys to Game Four?

make the wide open jumpers

That's basically the key to the rest of the series right there. The Hornets will give you open jumpers -- just gotta knock them down.

Defensively, the Spurs have to stick on the role players and don't let any of them go wild. Paul and West will score and the Spurs can live with that. But the Spurs need to make sure nobody else goes for +15. And maybe Paul and West can come back down to earth -- that'd be nice.

Hopefully the Spurs can make it their Big Three versus the Hornets Big Two. If that happens, I like San Antonio's chances.

Well yes, it was a key before the series started, but the spurs didn't make the shots because- they were thinking too much and were passing on the jumpers, they were too slow to move the ball and Hornets were in control of any spurs offensive possesions. Then you see a bad decision making.
When you are in attack mode you don't think about how to play, you just play and that's the success to beat the Hornets.
I do believe the spurs are better team but they are in a hole they might not get out. The experience did not helped in 2 first games.

Transition D and boards are also important. No are great at offensive rebs.
Try not to get hot one of the other then Paul players. It will be hard with West. But hopefully we can keep Bonzi, Mo Pete and Pargo out of the game. Bowen got Peja so no worries (hopefully) about him.


Anybody saw the det-orl game where Hedo is the GTG?
Sheesh dammnit I wonder why he did not have balls when he was a spur. Yup he blew the last play but he kept Magic in the game at the end.


All in all spurs must to heve more energy and be smarter and faster then the younger more athletic Hornets squad. Next games are every second day. So I do not have to tell how much is important to win G4.
