Spurs @ Hornets Game 2 Blog

Yeah...we need points in the paint to get us going. There's no way the guards are going to get points in the paint with Tim sitting down in the lane with the paint clogged.

We need PTS in the paint but if we can't make em pay with open jumpers off the Duncan double teams that we can't ing win

[dbreiden83080]

Disagree. Four Down has resulted in a wide open shot virtually every time. The shooters just need to sack up and hit a couple.

BINGO!!!!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

What adjustment on offense is going to make Finley or Tony or Udoka or Bowen hit a wide open jumper??? Because they had about 20 of them in that first half, we should be up 10 easy here

Get them some easier looks than having to hit a 23 footer to find their rhythm.

True...maybe the Spurs will reverse Game 1. Shoot like crap in the first and shoot lights out from 3 in the second half.

[GinobiliLooms]

I haven't hated a team this much since the 06 Mavs.

[SPARKY]

We've seen this before. This isn't the first time the Spurs have shot 4% and still been in the game. They're right where we want them.

Exactly. Spurs' offense shows up for 24 minutes and they get the split.

jumpers aren't falling, hornet have shut down the Tim and paint

[alamo50]

32-16 3rd quarter.
Book it..........yes Spurs advantage!!!!

Yeah, Timmy is handling those well.

Look at our shooters, they're all afraid to shoot except for Barry. They pump fake and look to pass.

I have no problem with 4down after they get into a rhythm. But the early misses have shaken their confidence and no one wants to pull the cord from deep.

Get them some easy buckets, get a little flow going, then you can unleash 4down when someone besides Barry has the confidence to step into a three pointer.

How much better a look do you want off the Duncan doubles?? Finley had about 4 3's and all day to shoot them, could not hit a single one.

[reck21]

They need to shut Peja up.

The dude is getting easy 3s.

wtf i thought this game was on ing tuesday!!!!

I'm about to vomit

Thats why Barry should get more minutes.. i think he would knock down more open shots than finley, bowen, and udoka combined

[Spurminator]

We got this.

and i think that in turn might get TD some more space to operate inside.

Spurs need to develop a pick your poison with TD inside. Too many open shots being passed up in the perimeter

[1Parker1]

Just like last game, it's for the Spurs to lose.

Hornets are very beatable.

Can you stop being so damn positive?? It's making me think the Spurs are done this series. Goodness, where's the doom and gloom boutons we all have come to know??

[reck21]

I did too.

But trust me you have missed nothing.

Spurs are playing like .

[td4mvp21]

Notice as soon as Barry went in the ball movement increased and it resulted in him getting a three....take notice, Pop.

[VaSpursFan]

can manu stop trying to dribble through the double teams this half...they doubling hard and closing any gaps...he's gotta swing the ball

[SPARKY]

We got this.

Indeed.

You've obviously never played ball. The Spurs are 2-12 on threes. That creeps into everyone's heads when they're shooting.

What do you think is easier for most folks to hit to get into a rhythm? A layup or a 24 footer? Do teams start shooting threes when they come out or shoot a couple of gimmes first?

[TampaDude]

The double is working on Timmy because the Spurs' outside shooters aren't making the Hornets pay...if the Spurs start hitting those 3s, it will open up the middle and TP can go to work.

[Kobulingam]

Manu doesn't look right. He's playing like someone who drank too much alcohol before the game.

[GinobiliLooms]

I just want to know why the Bruce Bowen is shooting so much. He can't shoot off the dribble. he's money as a spot up shooter but I've seen him try to score off the dribble or the curl like 5 times. Thats not the offense Pop has in mind.
