You must not have watched LA play their three le years.if the spurs lose this game then it would be shameful if they go on to win a championshp, no friggin championship team takes a night off just becuase they dont feel like playing
NO Hornets shoot 55% in 1st half and outscore Spurs in paint, 24-22.
When SPURS win the championship,nobody going to care how many or to who did the SPURS lost to during the season.

Spurs suck, really.
Spurs score 33 first quarter, 19 next qtr, against the worst team in the NBA.
Why do we need the pretext that NO is 2nd of B2B and will fade? Can't we destroy these hapless mofo's? Would they beat us if they weren't tired?
Spurs are supposed to allow only 42% FG, but these guys are shooting 55%?
Spurs are +1 Rbs?
Frustrating as . Watch the Spurs around in the 2nd half, the Hornets stay close, then Nailon pulls a Darius Miles in the 4th, as the Spurs go cold.
When the Shaq/Kobe LAL were winning their 2nd or 3rd straight le, cant memeber which, they lost both their games to CHI. No one remembered that (well I did)when they were holding the trophies at the end if the year.
