Bruce was too busy shutting down Peja-- oh wait, Peja had 22 points.

According to Yahoo, Stojakovic's lifetime field goal percentage against the Spurs is 35.8% in 28 games. That percentage will go up, a little, after tonight.

Spurs know how to shut him down.

Difficult to answer without knowing the playoff matchups. They could go out in the first round or 2nd round depending on matchups.

Being a young them with little to no playoff experience they still have to learn how to win in the playoffs so I don't expect them to make it very far. If they get past the first round they did well.

exactly.

Back in November he was 1-6 and a total non issue and the Spurs rolled.

IMO, the difference between this game and that was letting Peja get off and opening up the halfcourt.

Not as part of this Hornets team.

You are majorly overestimating his role on this team. If the Spurs are using their best defender on him, they will be in trouble.

Uh, their best defender who is a wing, on their best wing player.

Yeah far fetched I know....

Win 1st round, out in the 2nd

Depends on matchups. Either Dallas, NO, or Spurs will be the 5th seed because of how the standings are set up.
I think NO loses to the Spurs, Mavs, and Lakers with a healthy Bynum. Teams that can counter their size will be tough for them. But their chances against Denver, GS, Phx are great. So who knows, maybe they matchup with denver in the 1st round, phx in the 2nd and all of a sudden they are in the conf finals. Isn't that what happened with Utah last year?

[exstatic]

Does it matter who they played? They made it to the conference finals in the West.

Actually it does. There are three contenders in the West: SA, Dallas, and PHO. The first time Utah faced any of them, they lost. It IS all about your matchup. Of that trio, I don't see NO beating any of them, except maybe PHO if they go cold from outside.
