    we could have used bonzi grabbing boards vs the jazz. He is the physical guy that the jazz wouldn't be able to push around

    Bonzi living up to his Spurs killer title.

    He is abusing them in the 4th quarter.

    1-9 from the field for Tim Duncan with 3 minutes left in the game. Is Tyson Chandler preventing TD from getting touches?

    Spurs are 12-21 from the FT this game.

    It's time for NO to give Popovich a taste of his own medicine.

    A combination of fast double teams as well as Tyson's length has bothered Duncan.

    Duncan has played like total crap this game.

    Bruce Bowen has simply been Paul's b**** tonight when it's really mattered.

    Bowen's filthy tactics may work beautifully against soft minded guys like Vince Carter, Ray Allen, Amare Stoudemire, etc but Chris Paul is NOT a guy you want to piss off. Just ask Rafer...

    He's not facing the worst defensive PF in the NBA (Amare) this series...It's on Manu for SA to win this series. He has to be at his best, because TP and TD will not get off on the Hornets D like they did the woeful Suns D.

    Mascot jumped through hoop of fire between quarters. They couldn't put it out with their special extinguishers so they put it out with regular ones instead which left a slippery powder residue on the floor.

    The only reason I am rooting for NO is that if they win it all, Ryan Bowen will finally have his championship ring.

    In fact, the rockets matchup with the hornets very well.

    With a healthy Yao, we can easily beat the hornets.

    I think Manu should start in this series. MP cannot stop him, and defense on Duncan will be lesser.

    Yeah, I wasn't one of those doubters previously. Parker in particular really only plays his game in the postseason, and I'd agree with you. But I've watched Duncan very carefully this year; he has truly lost a half step. And you can only rev up the ancient artifacts of Finley, Big Shot Rob, and Bowen so often. Finally, they clearly lack the quickness of the Hornets (e.g. West last night).

    Well, you were half right. :p

    I was surprised at the poise of the Hornets in the 4th quarter. The final score disguises how close this was for a long time in the 2nd half.
