This is when championship experience kicks in. Get one home win, get the young team thinking and start rolling. All the Spurs need is one win and then this will be a series again.
Byron Scott is daring the shooters to win the series. Manu Ginobili, Bruce Bowen, Brent Barry and Michael Finley will make them pay from beyond the three-point line. Ginobili and Tony Parker won't have horrible games at the same time. Once the others start hitting, that will open things up for Duncan.
Defensively, Bowen can take Peja out of this series. Kurt Thomas showed how to handle David West. Parker can use his speed against Chris Paul. Duncan can do a better job of closing down the middle.
Get one win and get the free wheeling Hornets on their heels.
Championships aren't easy.
Believe.
1.

I'm with ya. The Hornets deserve their props for the first 2 games, but the Spurs can easily get back in this. Tim had his off game in game 1 and now Tony and Manu for the most part had their off game in game 2.
Spurs can do this. Home-court is next.
But I really do think Pop needs to make some adjustments. Start Manu, put Bowen on Peja, let Tony guard CP3. At least try it for a quarter.
Believe.
Maybe Newman and Mike Bud need to have an intervention with Pop, hosted by The Coyote. You know the Coyote is pissed off in his den right now at Pop's stubborness with the defensive assignments.
Anyways, Spurs hold serve and the Hornets just lost two in a row.
Believe in 2 days of solid rest.
What people think 'bout playing Bonner to have an extra shooter on the floor?
Tim, Tony and Manu have all laid their "eggs" for this series.
It's time to bounce back!
Go Spurs Go!!
Spurs will take game three, without a doubt. Game four and five? who knows?
I beat ya to a Believe thread.
and i still do we played so bad in NO but we are heading home. Spurs have so much pride they will play their asses off for game 3 and then we are back in it.
So some of you are still talking about the young inexperienced team, eh? I thought that would cost the Hornets one game or both in N.O. The Hornets may lose one in S.A., but it will have nothing to do with getting inside their heads or any of that nonsense. You'll see.
You need 4 to win you bandwagoning little .
What scares me is what is going on in Pop's mind now. Does he realize how badly the defensive cross-matches have hurt us? One would think 1 ass-whooping would be enough to figure that out, but we've seen 2 consecutive brain-farts.
I don't underestimate the will of Timmy and the gang, but Pop is making this a whole lot more difficult than it should be.
With that, I still believe. Someone needs to get this through Pop's head in the next 2 days.
WTF is with scrapping a defense that won us 3 of the last 5 les? Did Pop learn nothing from 06?
A series doesn't start until a home team loses a game.
experience. Experience is what's killing us right now, the Spurs are thinking too much.
The second leading scorer for the Spurs is injured? When did this happen?
It ain't over until the buzzer of the last game. Spurs can win this .
Dood! Timvp, you are the man! SPURS GO!!!!
Doubt the Spurs will get swept, but it's never looking good down 0-2.
I don't know what adjustments they can make defensively -- they've given up triple digits in both losses. When Peja, MoPete, CP3, and Julian ing Wright are all raining threes on our asses, the has hit the fan.
Not to mention that the offense just hasn't clicked. NO's done a good job closing out on all the shooters. Who's going to provide that spark off the bench?
Thanks for the calming voice timvp. Always appreciated. This board is hard after any loss, down 2-0 in the second round makes it harder.
I believe in this team, I believe in Duncan. I always have.
THEY NEED TO STOP THIS GUY FROM PENETRATING...
