5 reasons why we lost...

[nbascribe]

I would just be happy if they called the moving picks that Chandler and West set every time down the GD floor.

I'd be happy if they call the push off move Paul does with the off arm.

And for how West clears out on the rebounds.

I would have loved if they had called CP shoving TP and travelling instead of getting the and 1.

Hopefully this win will put the Dallas comparisons to rest...
That said, we won because we adjusted after being outplayed in the first two games. Now is Scott's turn to adjust to our adjustments... We'll see what he has in store for Tuesday.

[DazedAndConfused]

What adjustments can Scott make?

[T Park]

What adjustments can Scott make?

Like I've said I don't see many.

Other than running Peja off some picks and getting him open shots that way, there isn't much.

The personnel doesn't yield itself to much IMO.

Im sure TIMVP, FWD, Chump and others will point out some other things.

And for how West clears out on the rebounds.

Yeah West does that regularly and is annoying.

Chris Paul and the off arm? It aint gonna be called, cause hes a superstar. That simple.

I would still live with the illegal screens that Chandler and West do getting called.

You never know, Shaq got called for frigging stepping forward during free throws so... one can dream

what i noticed about the spurs fans is that they like to talk even when they're down 2-0... i wouldnt expect anything less from you guys now. my son is a Spurs fan.. i grounded him after the game for no reason.

Stupid father. Intelligent son. You should be proud your son is not like you...

[SpursChampsIII]

Reason # 6 for why your es got owned...the Spurs pulled your heads off and pissed in your dead skulls.

P.S. I wish the officials would take a look at the little traveling, arm-swinging, little punk you call a PG...Paul. Most times he penetrates into the lane, he either travels, or commits an offensive foul.

[florige]

What adjustments can Scott make?

One adjustment he HAS to make if they are to have a chance is he has to find a third scorer. He has got to find a way to get Peja involved somehow. Easier said than done, but to this point that has been one of the glaring differences has been his stats from games 1-2 verses 3-4.

[PlayoffEx-static]

Pop just gave Scott a taste of his own medicine. He subtracted Peja from the mix, and then decided that he would live with whatever 2 point jumpers Chris Paul could put up. When they're running that center pick and roll, Spurs are not allowing the kick out or the lob. Both players are collapsing on Chandler, and offering the jumper to Paul. The Hornets tried some new wrinkles to free Paul for closer shots in the second half, but nothing that really worked.

[florige]

I knew sooner or later Paul would become mortal again.
I think Mark Cuban is saying a big thank you to the basketball gods today. If NO's had done the same thing to SA that they did to Dallas in beating us in 5, all of the sudden that Avery firing looks kinda iffy.

[rascal]

Don't be so quick to assume that just because the Hornets are at home they will win.

I see a team that is on the brink of folding. If the spurs can stay close they can steal a win from a team that is beginning to doubt itself and end this series in 6.

[George Gervin's Afro]

1. Ref's were on Spurs nuts
2. Players gave up
3. Coach gave up
4. They got too emotional
5. Away from home

that being said I cannot wait until Game 5 ... when the "defending champs" get owned by n00bz

you lost me at #1...

Dude, in the first quarter all you could hear was those plastic clappers. I have never heard such a lethargic crowd, now I know why you all hate our "booos" and "wooos", because your crowds don't get loud like that. There were a few peaks, but the crowd just didn't contribute any advantage.

Our team can't say it was a hostile enviroment.

- still think signing threads is weird, but every forum has that one guy who does it; just to cause other posters to notice him.

The crowd noise level is low and weak in San Antonio. At least on TV it sounds that way.

Nothing like the old days in the Hemisphere Arena.

i don't do it for attention, just out of habit and to piss off idiots who care about such things on a internet forum.

also, i suggest you speak to spurschick, who was actually AT THE GAME, before you make assumptions about the crowd via what you heard on TV.

The real 5 reasons you lost

1. Bowen on Peja
2. Pop >>> Scott
3. Duncan
4. Parker
5. Manu

And the most important reason you lost

Spurs >>> Hornets

[BlackFlagg]

The Spurs flat out outplayed the Hornets for the 1st time in this series. I felt in Game 3 the Hornets did a better job of competing and lost composure at the end, which is typical of young teams on the road. Game 4 was a whole other story, Spurs dominated from start to finish.

That was an ass-whooping as good as any of the ones the Hornets gave the Spurs this season. Scott is going to have to make some major adjustments on defense to stop the Big 3 if the Hornets are going to win this series.

What a lucid, astute post. I couldn't agree more.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

What you guys failed to see is that this is no troll... he's probably one of the most uneducated and ignorant individual to ever post in this forum. He's pretty serious to be considered a troll.
