Hornets taking names .SOOO far.Making me an NBA fan ;D
MAN...this game is what you call getting Crushed.Im NBA 'special' but ...dem boy's beat the Spurs DOWN....Fuking right! Game 6 for it all
Game 4 they just came out flat even though they got a couple buckets early. Tonight they went scoreless for the first few minutes but you could tell it wasn't going to be a blowout. They played with energy. A lot of the Hornets' success this year came in transition. In game 4 the Spurs really succeeded in running the court and while it's really hard to beat the Spurs back, it's easy to slack off in transition and the Spurs took advantage of that.
Tonight they got back and had some success of their own because Paul is about as good as you are ever going to see at running the court. He is unbelievable, he has a 360 degree sense of the court, he not only knows who's on the wings or who's in front of him but he has this uncanny sense of knowing who's behind him. He draws them in close then kicks it behind them to a shooter. It's amazing and you couple that with a 5th gear of speed once he gets inside the key and some of the best finishing ability in the league, it's incredible. I'm big on point guards and Chris Paul is the most talented point guard I have ever seen aside from Magic of course who wasn't a true point guard really. I have little doubt he's going down as one of the greatest of all time at that position. He plays with another level of skill, he is truly
They imposed themselves on defense and that's where they won the game. I liked how they didn't automatically double Duncan and let him pick them apart passing. They were more controlled and waited until he put the ball on the floor or faced up to the basket to send the extra defender. That really made the difference and Chandler played excellent. Good rotations all around and they didn't let Ginobli and Parker drive the lanes without getting sent to the floor. I don't get why more teams aren't physical with the Spurs. There is no reason two small guards should be able to punch you in the mouth on such a consistent basis. Get physical with them and make them think about driving the lanes and you don't have a problem. The game was really won on the defensive end the Spurs never found a rhythm.
And having David West blow up like that and just shoot lights out it's going to be hard for any team to defend that and of course Chris Paul is Chris Ball and he penetrated inside this game and that is really what opens up the offense. You know the Hornets are good when they are hitting alley oops and I think they had 3 tonight.
Also, I hate the Pistons but Tayshaun Prince has to be by far the most underrated player in the NBA. I can't think of anyone else who is close. He has really blown me away this series and that block against Hedo was an instant classic and that really closed the game and the Magic's season.
I'm a fan of your NBA wisdomQuote:

N.O. pisses me off!!!
To see them give up shot after shot from the 3 line to players like Pargo.
I just don't get it?
:dontknow:
I'm like a kid watching my mother and step father in an argument........It's loud and I dont know whats going on in there but I know it really is ugly And terrible Lol :angryxo4:.........Nawlins pisses my off as well!Quote:

I don't mind Pargo shooting he had a very good game 5 and he is so good at walking into a shot. He might be the best in the league at stepping into his shot him or Stephen Jackson but Pargo doesn't only do it outside.
But I agree that they have to get Peja involved. That's going to be the key for this game 7 because the only way to really exploit that matchup is to put Peja in isolation but Scott is hesitant to do that because that's taking the ball away from your two best players. But they've got to get him involved somehow because he has been a non factor for 4 games now and I wouldn't bet on them to win game 7 without Peja being productive. I really don't know how that happens but that's Byron Scott's job.
I don't get why they are doubling Duncan as soon as he touches the ball and not on the dribble like they did in game 5. But hey if Byron Scott wants to let Duncan pass all over them then that's his call I don't really get why he would undo that adjustment. Don't care who you are but if you let Duncan pass accross the court on a double at will then you have no chance of beating the Spurs because Parker and Ginobli are to good to have someone rotate to them late. But foul trouble killed the Hornets and that's surprising because they had something like only 3 players foul out the entire year, just weren't used to playing in foul trouble. Terrible reffing too the worst of these playoffs that was awful to watch. Paul puts his hand on Bowens hip, no push at all and since the Spurs are a bunch of pansies and flop at the slightest touch it was a foul. I've seen Lebron James literally stiff arm guys in the face and never seen him called for it.
I can't believe this home winning streak that the NBA is on it's unbelievable. I still think Hornets will finish it if not then the NBA is doomed to a Pistons - Spurs series I'm sure of it.
I agree with your analysis, but me I've always been agressive.Quote:

I don't care what Bowens done, fact of the matter is you pass the ball to Peja and you let him do his deed. It's that simple for me, when you have someone like him you let him do what he does best.
Wests body is not doing to well and I would def. take a gamble on Peja, I just feel that Pejas there but he's not even given an oppourtunity to play his game. Several plays where Pejas been there for the pass and they decide to take in the paint.
I just don't see the logic in that...
I swear I want to hit Mount whittaker Tim Duncan wid a bat...:fight:
Yeah he's definitely got to get more shots but I can guarantee you he's not going to get started from the half court set unless someone can draw Bowen and it looks like Popovich has told Bowen not to double. Going to be tough but they have got to get him more then 8 shots which is what he's averaging these last 3 games.Quote:

I do think they can survive without Peja being a factor on the offensive end but that means West has to be healthy and perhaps most importantly, Chandler has to be on his game and that means he moves his feet and creates a little chaos inside on both ends. Chandler is a big x factor because he is so hit or miss, he is inconsistent and could be a footnote to Paul and West but when he is on he changes the complexion of the game. Each game the Hornets have won these playoffs they've done it when Chandler has played well. No coincidence they need him especially if West isn't 100% and Peja can't get going.
Oh! I agree, I've been screamming at my tv screen since game 2 to pass the damn ball to Peja...Quote:

Chandler for me, needs to put more effort at times when I see him he comes off as player whos OK with just getting by. I don't see any fire there... West, Paul and Peja for me are the 3 players who they need MOST involved in the game. You need Paul attacking the rim, West from the perimeter and Peja from the outside.
David Stern, do something about this ridiculous idea that Cleveland should ever be shown on national TV. Never again.
Boston's not much better.
I've actually been switching back and forth between this game and this show called Keeping up with the Kardashians. Its a really horrible show, they don't even give you many Kim Kardashian ass shots but Boston-Cleveland is a nightmare.
Either of these teams versus Detroit is a national nightmare.
Just go ahead and give it to somebody from the west, just not San Antonio. My San Antonio hate has gotten so out of hand that I find myself hating Robert Horry and I usually root for any former Alabama players.
I love this game :lickish: I vote to put Lebron on TV as much as possible. Absolutely love it but Lebron needs some help from somewhere I don't think he can pull it out all by himself. I haven't liked Horry since he called last years Spurs the best team in the history of basketball.
