    Really disappointing seeing the Hornets choke after bringing it back to a three-point game.

    maybe the presure, maybe he choked, but he missed 3 FT in a row and missed easy layups

    It just so happens his "rhythm" always disappears in tight playoff situations.

    Tim Duncan.

    Despite tonight's poor shooting he still grabbed 13 rebounds. His playoff stats are amazing...

    A steady mix of solid veterans and young talent combined w/ a great coach. It started w/ David Robinson and Tim Duncan, and now Timmy is in the Robinson role.

    Might I add, you never see them pick up an athletic guy who 'still hasn't lived up to expectations but gosh darnit I think he'll be a success on our team even though he hasn't done it on the previous 3 teams he's been on.' (hint, hint, GARM).

    that split face promo that they've been doing is lame...and getting lamer...it's the script that they say that makes me laugh...it's geared for kids...

    game...I had a funny feeling spurs would win but was pulling for the hornets, oh well the lakers will take out the spurs

    Basically, you have a defender harassing Peja, Peja will be off. You dont want Peja to put the ball on the floor. Post him up is not efficient offense. Peja's biggest advantage is spot up and and shoot 3s to space the floor. Except shooting, Peja doesnt have too much game. Adelman did have more plays for Peja than Bryan Scott.

    F the Hornets. Glad they lost. If the Rockets are out, I'd rather a same-ol-same-ol boring team like SAS or LAL get a shot at a ring instead of some punk ass who-do-they-think-they-are up-and-coming team like NOH. Seriously, had the Hornets won this game, can you imagine all the knob slobbing C. Paul would get? Glad to see Chris Paul finally start to miss those garbage off balance off one foot one-handed flip shots in the lane, which he takes after rubbing his defender off a pick and backing him down to the sidelines before making his move. God those are annoying. Give me D-Will anyday over that cockstrong junk-shot makin "i get all my assists off alley oops to chandler" melon farmer.

    Sure, if by some miracle we were able to trade for CP3, I'd take all that back, but since that will never ever happen even in anyone's wildest dreams, F'em.

    I wouldn't call Luther Head a GREAT shooter, won't even mention him alongside Ray Allen.

    you take Kenny Smith straight out of the studio and he'll hit more open jumpers than Luther head.

    I wish NO had won as well and Paul should have done better tonight but I expected the Spurs to pull it out. NO deserves a lot of praise for their season. If they upgrade their 2/3 spot and also get a backup 4 for West it will be even more difficult to beat them. This is a good learning experience for them. I didn't expect the series to go to 7 games.

    They don't win the title without Stephen Jackson starting during one of the title runs and he was quite possibly even dumber then than he is now.

    Peja has a history of choking in clutch situations

    Pargo. Hahaha. Didn't matter that he made those crazy shots, he froze Paul and West out. Byron made mistake not pull him out and put Mo Pete in. The important thing is NO got the stops they want, and Pargo was fooled into thinking he should carry the load.
