Spurs in 6
-
spurs win but it's gonna be close
x factor: tyson chandler
-
Spurs easily... Spurs will most likely repeat.
-
spurs will win in 6
-
It's close... right now NO is up 67-62 in the 3rd.
-
Game 1... the Spurs got their asses handed to them.
-
hornets looking good, they keep at this pace we might see an upset
-
Y'all underestimate the Hornets too much .. this is a real TOUGH team .. SAS has clearly some matchups troubles in this serie ( West, Wells, the activity of Chandler on offensive boards ..) Experience and adjustements may not be enough for SAS ... Hornets in 6

I didn't expect a 20 point margin of victory from the Hornets! 8)

game 5, and it's all over, for the spurs. CP3 > Tony Parker

lets hope so. even tho we're better than the spurs this year, hornets would be a better match-up for us.
both teams have point guards who can burn us, but spurs take it inside the paint a lot more, so we'd have to risk beatdowns on the inside. not to mention if they get away with their flopfests like they did against the suns, we'd be in a lot of trouble.
hornets arent as crafty as the spurs. they tend to settle for jumpshots, even if they're not sinking them. of course, when they are sinking them, we mite be in trouble. but i'm not too concerned about that, we should be able to contain them, especially with ariza coming back.
-
^^^^ I don't know if Hornets are a better match up for us .. of course , it's obvious to "fear" more Spurs experience , very well coached team down the stretch and all that .. but I won't go THAT far to say Hornets is a much better team to face .. we'll see how SAS adjust in the 2nd game but in Game 1 they look like the old team we saw in the regular season ..

Never understimate the Champs (unless it's the Heat we're talking about :laugh:)

i wasnt talking about just experience. like i already said, spurs as a whole are focused on taking it inside, whereas hornets' most post-oriented offensive player is probably bonzi wells.
i'm not saying we're gonna kick the crap outta the hornets, i'm saying defensively we are better fit facing the hornets than the spurs. obviously, that doesnt mean the hornets would automatically be easier. whichever team plays with a higher intensity level against us could be trouble regardless. but our team is more finesse than we are physical, so we naturally match-up better to the hornets' style on defense.

im wondering if some of you guys actually watched the entire game or just looked at the finals score. The game was close most of the way, with the Spurs leading most of the game. NO pulled away at the very end and it was a single digit game with only a few minutes left. The Spurs in no way got their "asses handed to them" lol. Anyways, good game. I wanted us to win one of the first two. I would have rather seen us win game 1, but oh well. Spurs should take the series....but i say either a 6 or 7 game series.
-
This Spurs team is hard to read.
one game they look unbeatable, the next they seem like a team ready to be taken.
Game 2 will tell everything IMO.
Timmy with only 5pts is unaceptable. (Chandler)
and tell S.A. to throw some body's on West.
let Paul score his 19-20, but prevent West from catching & shooting, dunking ect..
David own the Spurs this year.
All in All tho I expect S.A. to take this series.
Game 2 is a must tho for the Spurs.

winner of this series takes the west barring major injuries :D

Yes... I did watch. And regardless....a 20 point loss is getting your ass handed to you. I know it's tough to digest, but sometimes you just have to admit it. If it were my team, I'd say the same thing.

if we got our ass handed to us, id admit it too. Game 4 vs the Suns....they kicked our ass, so be it. If last nights game was the other way around....I would in no way feel like we kicked the Hornets ass.

when your beating someone 3/4 of the game its not an ass-handing
-
I disagree.... if that final buzzer rings and you are down 20... you got your ass whupped.

so in that case, if youre down by 25 points for most of the game.....but during garbage time, when the game is decided....the reserves get the lead down to 10 and only lose by 10.....that game (if you stay consistent) would not be "getting your ass whooped".
-
you get your ass whopped as a team and you win as a team... if your reserves are playing against their reserves and can get your team back to a respectable score, then cool....
-
20 points is pretty bad in the playoffs...that said, I'd much rather face the Hornets than the Spurs in the WCF.
-
Shit is not looking good for the Spurs..
N.O. is Real.
They have proved me wrong all season long
I was one of those dudes waiting for this team to fall off
and here they are in the second round pounding out S.A.
-
yeah they whooped up on us tonight. Great game by Paul. They did what they were supposed to in the first two games. Cant wait for game 3 in SA
-
^LOL@acting all calm, like you ain't worried. It was pretty much a 20 point fucking defeat in both games!...The Spurs are too old to run with the Hornets. He was DESTROYING you guys, scoring at will, amazing dishes, no forced turnovers. I honestly thought the Spurs were better than this.
-
The Spurs got Punk'd.
-
what a beautifull day. the killa beez done it again
-
man, Pau Gasol is fuckin WHITE
-
I honestly thought the Spurs were better than this.
-
the hornets are dominatn'
-
Chris Paul is that nigga.
Spurs need to step it up. The Hornets are tearing that ass up.

No doubt, the Hornets have played great. Its not that Im not worried, its that we've been up against the wall before. We have tons of playoff experience. We've been without a doubt the top team over the last decade. The Hornets are playing great right now, and their youth is probably making them fearless. Does that mean we are out of this series...lol No. If we lose game 3 at home, then id be fuckin worried.

I agree with you bro.. (I know it's hella Cliche but....)
Tonight is the Biggest game of the Season for the Spurs
I see S.A. Taking tonights game.
Manu's ankle is defo feeling better, he will be a factor tonight.
-
the spurs are old theyre all bitches bruce bowens a bitch robert horry is a bitch now too the hornets will get swept by the lakers
-
^LMAO@your sig
-
The Announcing of this game was Horrible!!!....
who the fuck is that chick WOW!!! alot of Paul cock sucking going on the entire game.
dude played good, but his scoring cost them the game. (IMO)
Manu & T. Parker got in the Hornets ass
Parker played his game and had more assist's than Paul, Spurs win.
(They defo needed this one & they stepped up)
-
well atleast they keep it alive, hope it'll be a 7 game series !
-
2-1 is alot easier than 3-0
Paul looks like a modern Isiah Thomas
-
hate to say it but hopefully SA comes around and takes this series..the media slobberin all over No's dicks is mad annoying
-

lol NO got off to a hot start but if they lose game 5 its ovah
-
This has been a great series to watch, Paul and Parker going back and forth with amazing plays. New Orleans needs Peja to get his shots from outside, and keep Chandler out of foul trouble. The Spurs keep showing why you can't count them out.

Spurs = 2008 NBA Champs

Spurs = 2008 NBA Champs
don't get too happy... the Spurs got blown the fuck out twice already playing in the big Easy.
-
Which of these teams would pose a greater threat to the Lakers? Which would be more fun to watch them play against?
-
^ spurs by far better match up. N.O. lacks interior game with their fast paced style
Spurs have the best low post player in the league right now in duncan. im sure you've seen manu ginoblii fake kobe out of his shoes over the years and tony parker will eat farmar up and hes too for fast d fish

thats why you play 7 games
-

Spurs would be way tougher for the Lakers than NO...NO would probably be a more entertaining match-up, though. But the history between the Lakers and the Spurs is pretty deep, so both teams will be interesting to watch.

Yeah, i wanna see a Spurs/Lakers Western Conference finals.
-
^Time to get worried nigga. Matter of fact, you should flinch mayne. The Hornets killed yall washed up niggas any time up in washed up ass New Orleans. And they are up 3-2 and still have a game there, so you do the maths nigga.
-
Yeah I wanted game 5. We'll see wussup in game 6 back in SA. Home teams have dominated in this series...so we SHOULD win. But that also means a game 7 in NO if we do. If we make it to game 7, we'll take it in NO. ;)

I'll agree with you bro..
(I'm still in denial bout them Hornet's...lol, them fuckes jacked up my Bracket's..)
-
im hoping Hornets win this now
I used the SA big 3 this round for that NBA Drive to the Finals fantasy game lol
-
There will be a Game 7. 8)
-
i'm glad this series has gone the distance. it slows down the hornets' momentum if they win it and it wears down the spurs' bodies if they win it.
-
i liked the anti pick n roll trap defense on Chris paul tonight it took them completely out of their game , and forced another player to be a play maker...
hard nosed screen set by horry.. that was hella dirty .. horry and bowen on that team are some of the most dirtiest players in the league but i gotta say i kinda like that defensively =]
-

how was it dirty? It was a simple back screen. West wasnt paying attention. Van Gundy even said its questionable whether that should even have been called a foul. If West wouldnt have dropped to the ground like that, it more then likely wouldnt have been called. i think people sometimes make judgements based on their feelings about a player rather then the actual play.

i think Ive gained more respect for the Hornets in this series, then i have for the Suns in the last 5 years lol

Horry gave him a lil' love tap..
in the 80's/90's that would have been a tech foul on Horry for not hitting him hard enough. 8)
D.West is banged up really bad, they cannot win without him @ 100%. (Uncrowned MVP of the Hornets)

Horry can suck a dick with or without that play on West.

Barkleys suns in the finals were pretty good. But the Steve Nash Suns have been nothing but soft.
-
I still think the Hornets will take Game 7 ..
-
great call by the officials using INSTANT REPLAY at the end of the 1st quarter.. they clearly saw chris paul trying to jump into ginoblli and scream to get a 3 point foul freethrow opportunity
-
^they still called that a foul...they just claimed the foul took place AFTER the buzzer sounded.
Hornets getting their asses handed to them tonight like I expected. :-X
-
Bring on The Spurs.....
-
Deron Williams >>>>Chris Paul
An M.V.P. takes the big shot's and ain't afraid of making the big play.
Pargo played the game Paul should have this is what separates D.Will from Paul.
let's do this S.A.
-
Deron Williams >>>>Chris Paul
I agree...though it's a tough decision.
-
Pargo made it an interesting game for the Hornets.... as opposed to that certain person who people say got robbed of the MVP who laid an egg tonight.
-
ginoblii played like garbage the whole 4th quarter he almost cost the spurs the game..dude was out of control
all his points came off of FT's in the final minute
-
^they still called that a foul...they just claimed the foul took place AFTER the buzzer sounded.
yup thats what i meant. the foul was before the shot clock went off he just didnt get the shot off tryin to launch that thing 40somethin feet

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FUCK DA SPURS!!!!!!
