easy..ref.
We've completely taken Peja out of his game in Games 3, 4, 5, and 6...if we had Bowen on Peja in the first two games we would've won this series by now. We took David West out of his game in Game 6. We'll continue that in Game 7 with Duncan on him.
So that leaves Chris Paul.
Who else is gonna beat us?
easy..ref.
Good call.
"This bud light is for you." "Real men of genius."
How do you know the Spurs will continue to stop West in Game 6? Spurs "Stopped" West in Game 4 and he came out with a 38 point, 10 rebound, 5 block effort in Game 5.
Pargo, Wright, Chandler alley-oops, oh yea and that guy Chris Paul who's been controlling the pace and game in every aspect so far in this series, especially in New Orleans are all pretty darn good and can beat the Spurs.
It's going to take a team effort to beat the Hornets tommorow night. Guys like Finley, Kurt Thomas, Oberto, Barry, and Udoka are going to have to step up. It can't just rest all on the Big 3 and Bowen.
you may be right
3rd quarter letdown..relying on the three..not taking the ball to the rim..poor transition D...poor rotatins on defense.
By playing in the 2nd half (specifically the 3rd quarter).
If we can continue to take Peja out and West is off his game we have a great chance of getting the win. If West plays like he did in Game 5, we're ed.
That game was a fluke. No NBA player, doesn't matter who, can rely on their jump shot falling all the time. Especially in a Game 7.
Poor defense and turnovers are the only way we couldn't pull out of this one.
Remember, low scoring games are in favor of us!
The Hornets will box out and and get their transition game working. This is where Peja has killed the Spurs.
It hasn't worked since game 2, what makes you think it's going to work now?
ty quarter
The Spurs have been their own worst enemy -- poor shooting!
3rd quarter ass kicking.
Reggie Miller anyone?
what has he won?
besides biggest jock riding announcer of course
LOL at this thread sons ... keep talking.
West's jump shots are the real thing. He had a big game because of the late defensive rotations and he got an early start to boost up his confidence. With that thought, don't let him get into his rhythm. He hasn't felt the pressure of a game 7 so every shot he misses will have a big impact psychologically.
Unfortunately, Homecourt might just be enough, likewise any combination of Paul, West, Peja, heck Bonzi, Peterson or even Chandler or Pargo, it's a game 7 anything can happen and they like us, have a lot of options.
oh, and the officials.
Four straight blowouts against the Spurs at home is reason enough to be concerned.
streaks are meant to be broken..I just hope it's the Spurs' road losing streak
He's never won a championship but he's won plenty of game 7s. I was responding to the comment that no offensive player can rely on just his jump shot for success in big spots. Reggie miller did that his whole career.
by the way, there have been many more successful offensive players who have relied almost exclusively on their jump shots in critical situations. Richard Hamilton, Allan Houston, Steve Smith, Ray Alllen, etc.
