    The first quarter didn't look good for the Spurs. I expected them to come out strong. If San Antonio doesn't start playing with desperation, I can see the Hornets taking control again in the 2nd half.

    Lol...Bonzi looking sad out there. What the hell was that layup/dunk attempt on the break?

    if fisher's 0.4 sec was good, there's no way Manu's shot with 0.8 is not good.

    The 3rd qtr surge will determine this game. Which team comes out with the 1st surge will win the game.

    no need to start the clock on time spurs timekeeper. in 2.7 seconds, a ball was knocked out of bounds, then inbounded, dribbled and a halfcourt violation, and then an inbounds, catch, turn and shoot. that last shot shouldn't have counted. stupid peterson.

    Again, despite the lively crowd and the inspired play by the Spurs, they are down by 2. If the Hornets keep their poise and don't lose their heads, they will bury the Spurs in the 2nd half for the 5th time this season. The Spurs aren't in control of this game. The only way they win is for the Hornets to hand it to them. Chris Paul may need to take over the game.

    But I have a feeling the Hornets are going to crack and lose this game. Don't know why that is since they've plastered the Spurs every game I've seen them play this season. I don't know how the Spurs won the two games I missed.

    Duncan needs to show up in the 2nd half.

    parker maybe the best finisher in the game. Duncan looks old and orbeto maybe the worst player in the league.

    It seems the spurs' time has passed. The league wants the hornets to win this series. Paul vs Kobe!

    Don't think so myself. The Hornets...and more than just CP3...force tempo the whole game. It will pay dividends against the ancient Spurs in Q4.

    they're giving duncan continuation on that shot? holy crap, that's ludicrous even by nba standards. he did a full dribble and then took a slow shot after the shoulder to the chest that drew the foul. wow.

    Only if Duncan plays well, the spurs have a chance to win!

    Chris Paul has a terrible temper. It's not one like LeBron's, where he'll show it through his performance and his performance only.

    Chris Paul might play better, but he'll throw a visible tantrum.

    Yeah, we really could have used Bonzi. :rolleyes: What a stupid foul on Manu.

    The Hornets are tight.
