Hornets vs Spurs

This should be a great series. Its hard for me to pick a winner but im going to say Hornets in 7. The Chris Paul vs Tony Parker match-up should a lot of fun to watch. Both have that amazing speed and the ability to create for themselves or for their teamates.

You slow down Chris Paul, you beat the Hornets. The Spurs will put Bowen on Paul 24/7 while CP3 has to guard Tony Parker; that will suck the air out of anybody. The X factor for the Hornets will be David West, if he can score plus help Tyson Chandler (not a good one-on-one defender, more of a weak side defender) create an effective resistance against the best slow post scorer in the NBA then maybe they have a chance.

Anyways, Spurs in 6.

Hornets in Six.

I want to see an LA and NO match up.

The new orleans hornets will win in 6 games. the spurs r old as dirt. robert horry needs a wheel chair n i saw michael finley using bengay the otha daymilsteadboy

You know, the suns fans thought that way too and they're out. Robert Horry only plays about 5 minutes a game and he really isn't a critical part of the team any more.

only way for Spurs to win this series is if they get Bruce Bowen to drop kick Chris Paul in the faceNetYankEagle

If Tim Duncan was younger, would it have been a different series, maybe, 1-1?

I kind of see Duncan turning into a older David Robinson, how Robinson was a mentor to a young Duncan back in the day. I see Duncan at that role now, except, he has no young Duncan to mentor.

I know Duncan isn't that old, but he's a lot better than this. Either he's struggling or, like I said, getting older.

He isn't old enough yet for age to be a factor. 34 is usually when a pro athlete's age begins to affect his game. And the effect is far more pronounced on a guard than a big man (which is why it is far more common to see big men play into their early 40's than guards). The main thing he seemed to be missing in the first 2 games is his usual level of aggression; going straight to the basket, irritating defenders with offensive rebounds and tip-ins. I haven't really seen that in the first 2 games.

Oberto? j/k

I think the spurs are just having that "we just won a championship last year, give us a break" mentality

I did some research.

Tim Duncan is 32 right now and that's the exact same age Robinson was when Duncan first came into the league.

I'm not saying age is a issue with Duncan but I just thought that was interesting.

Next to the Warriors the Spurs have been one of my favorite teams to watch in the NBA. Was glad to see The Admiral and Sean Elliot get their rings, even enjoyed watching The Worm wreak havoc with this team but as I've stated before it's just CP3's year. The NBA loves him. He is a great image and persona to help represent the NBA in a good light as apoosed to all the knuckleheaded atheletes that get into trouble almost nightly. Talent wise the Spurs should have rolled over this team. But for some reason the roll players are just not getting it done this year and Paul is playing out of his mind and just running the show.

I actually am picking the Hornets to win this one. I thought game 1 was lucky, but after seeing them in game 2 im a believer. I thought Tony Parker would have a wayyyyy better time with Chris Paul due to his expriece and coming off one of his best playoff series and I guess I was wrong. Chris Paul is dismantling the Spurs and David West is like the icing on the cake. Not to mention Peja is shooting lights out. They have too many weapons and the Spurs can't guard them, epecailly when playing at a fast upbeat tempo them the slow half court game that the Spurs play. hayato_

You put compliments on chris paul that have already been said many times about duncan. The hornets have had a surprisingly good year, but I still don't think they'll win the series.

Whats the series at now? I knew it was at 2-1, did they win today?

Edit: 2-2. Good now its a series.

I knew the Spurs wouldn't go down without giving a few counter punches in return. I picked the Spurs to win this in 6, my pick is still alive:)-Halftime-

Pray with me for Hornets in 7!

I picked the Spurs to take this series too but who knows what will happen, Hornets have home court advantage and so far it's playing a big role for every team right nowandyboiii

NOOOO! I don't think LAL can take SA without Andrew Bynum. :( GO HORNETS!
