What tricks will N.O. pull in Game 5?

Put in Bevetta, joey crawford and Jack Neiece together as officials...

Seriously, folks. I think the Hornets may try to experiment with letting Tyson defend Timmy one-on-one to try to shut down the rest of the Spurs. It won't work, of course, since Timmy is "back," Tyson will get into foul trouble, and Manu and Tony will still find their way into the paint regardless.

Otherwise, Scott will try to force the issue with Paul re getting the rest of his team involved. But against a healthy Spurs team, that's easier said than done. West and Peja will still struggle, and Paul will end up trying to be Kobe again.

Result: at least an 8, 10 point win for the Spurs, who'll be on their way to another WC finals.

Um, Tyson's been playing TD straight up for all of game 3 and game 4 except when we go to four down.

But we've basically abandoned that set, gone to the pick and roll, the problem is NO can't defend it and Chandler gets in foul trouble easily off of it (he defends it about as well as Shaq does).

That's not going to change in New Orleans.
