Good to see

Peja sticking it to Bowen. Especially looked the scowl he gave Bruce running back up court.

by atthehive on May 15, 2008 8:22 PM CDT   0 recs

Bad to see

Duncan shooting well and hitting those bank shots.

by Junsier on May 15, 2008 8:31 PM CDT   0 recs

WTF is going on? Did they spike the gatorade? We cant hit shit!

by mattmc89 on May 15, 2008 8:38 PM CDT   0 recs

Yeah seriously

and Ime Udoka can’t miss. This will turn around. Hopefully.

Wow Spurs

15-21 in the 1st

by atthehive on May 15, 2008 8:42 PM CDT   0 recs

Bonzi? Two uncntested AIRBALLS?

by mattmc89 on May 15, 2008 8:47 PM CDT   0 recs

Bonzi definitely forcing

Seems like he’s trying to make up for not doing anything the rest of the series. No isn’t the time to mess it all up!

by atthehive on May 15, 2008 8:49 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Come on guys, at least keep it close for the 3rd Q.

by mattmc89 on May 15, 2008 8:48 PM CDT   0 recs

MO PETE!

What are the Spurs shooting? 70%

by mattmc89 on May 15, 2008 8:53 PM CDT   0 recs

Spurs are shooting 69.2%, 18-26. Crazy.

by Junsier on May 15, 2008 8:55 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Unrealistic

It’s gonna stop. Mark my words.

by atthehive on May 15, 2008 8:55 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Mo Pete!

46-39, lead down to 7 off a Mo Pete 3. CP is on fire with those little jumpers, 11 pts, 5 assts.

by Junsier on May 15, 2008 8:54 PM CDT   0 recs

I love how Mike Breen is making up random stuff

“Parker has been a clutch performer” Yeah right. Go look up his elimination game stats.

by atthehive on May 15, 2008 8:54 PM CDT   0 recs

Wooo!

Come back, alley-oop to Tyson. 46-41, Bowen cannot guard Paul.

by Junsier on May 15, 2008 8:57 PM CDT   0 recs

Duncan got a few calls with his trademark move at the beginning, it’s in SA, so they’re getting the calls, if any. Not many yet.

And now Chris picks up his 2nd.

by Junsier on May 15, 2008 9:01 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Its not TOO one sided

But I dont think its even either

by mattmc89 on May 15, 2008 9:04 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

I'm doing a little experiment

where I got a Spurs fan and Matt Moore (neutral) to see how many “bad” calls each team gets. So far I counted 2 bad for SA, 2 bad for us (Pargo getting called for the second block, the last Duncan fadeaway thing, Parker fouled on the fastbreak, and I can’t remember the last). The Spurs guy should check in some time soon with his tally.

by atthehive on May 15, 2008 9:07 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Damn you Manu

Just hit back to back threes, but Peja at the line down 9.

by Junsier on May 15, 2008 9:00 PM CDT   0 recs

I can forgive him

due to his Paul Olympic thing

by atthehive on May 15, 2008 9:04 PM CDT   0 recs

Man we need to find Peja

He was smoking in the first

by atthehive on May 15, 2008 9:05 PM CDT   0 recs

Yeah for about a year

But SB’s easily the best network out there, so I had to join.

Tim Duncan wasn't his idol. Robinson was.

Shut up Mike Breen. You are an idiot.

Nice class from Timothy though.

by atthehive on May 15, 2008 9:11 PM CDT   0 recs

oh yeah...

I mean, just this right here, the auto-refreshing comments, is worth it.
You live in NOLA?
Not looking good for us tonight.

Halftime Thoughts

Spurs outshot us by 10% (!!!) David West has been awful (3-10) missing some easy shots. Spurs are 5-8 from three. I’m feeling very good to be down only 7.

BUT, CP3 did not get a minute of rest, and much of DX’s poor night has to attributed to Tim Duncan.

Let’s eat ‘em alive in the third!!! Geaux Hornets!!

@ATH

You going to the airport?

I’m a displaced Hornet fan unfortunately. You? Take some pictures if you do!

Where Yat?

No camera for me tonight. It needs a break. Honeybees are taxing ;)

by mattmc89 on May 15, 2008 9:22 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

L.A. unfortunately

Though I got to meet CP3 and crew when they came to Staples.

Although I’d rather not remember that game… can’t believe we got down THIRTY

Im a CA expatriot

No way Id leave NOLA for CA. If I gotta swim, I wont go back.

At the rate Im spending on the blogs, I will probably get fired. I HAVE to be hyper-productive tomorrrow, so no. Sarah will fan up for both of us

Bob Licht Observations

Three Points for Winning on the Round

1) Score 100 pts, they have 51 right now, on pace. Check.
2) Win 83% of games when they shoot 45% from field. 47% right now, check.
3) Peja (in season) is averaging 3 made threes, he has hit 3 already. Check.

Trail by 7, but it’s always the third Q that matters.

by Junsier on May 15, 2008 9:25 PM CDT   0 recs

Good stuff

You on radio or what?

by atthehive on May 15, 2008 9:28 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Well

At the break, yeah.

I’m gonna give a shout out to you guys tomorrow on CSC. I didn’t know you guys were around, so I have been doing random post about the Hornets every now and then (its the offseason). I am gonna leave it to the experts from here on out.

Thanks a ton man

If there are some Hornet readers on your blog, we’d love to have them on the next Game Thread. These are only going to get better and better as the blog grows and we get more readers. Thanks for hanging tonight, Matt, Saintsational, and Junsier.

WTF, that was not an offensive foul.

by Junsier on May 15, 2008 9:37 PM CDT   0 recs

OK

Fine it was. Nice job smacking Bowen though. :P

He has four fouls?!?

by Junsier on May 15, 2008 9:38 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Wait really?? 4 fouls?

It was a foul though.

by atthehive on May 15, 2008 9:40 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Ouch

THAT WAS NOT A FOUL. And D West is pissed. CP with 4, D with 3.

Lol, and Tyson Chandler calms down Paul and West, nice.

by Junsier on May 15, 2008 9:39 PM CDT   0 recs

WOW

No way. That was not an offensive foul.

THAT WAS A FLOP.

by Junsier on May 15, 2008 9:40 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

yeah, he needs to sit

but the officiating is BULLSHIT! That second on Paul was BS, the first on West was BS. BULLSHIT!!!!

by mattmc89 on May 15, 2008 9:43 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

The refs can

Suck a bag of dicks. Sorry

I have a cool Bruce Bowen story...

No lie. You may find this funny. I was amazingly lucky enough to score four floor seats to the Hornets Spurs game on November 9th, real early in the season. Like, REAL floor seats, Jack Nicholson, Larry David/Shaquille O’neal style seats. I was actually sitting IN FRONT of Birdman who was suspended at the time. Anyway, this was before I actually really cared about the Hornets (yes, i just really got on the Hornets bandwagon at the All Star break). Toward the end of the game the Hornets put out Ryan Bowen at the same time the Spurs were playing Bruce Bowen. Being so close to the action, I had to take this opportunity to heckle the opposing team. When Bruce Bowen was standing like right in front of me, I yelled some stupid, funny-at-the-time comment about how him and Ryan Bowen must be brothers because of their last names. As soon as I said it, the Spurs made a shot, Bowen turned around to me, looked me straight in the eye and said “No, we’re just cousins!” I thought a player talking to me in the middle of the game was just the coolest thing in the world. Alright, thats my story.

Dude that is awesome. That is pure awesome. How’d you get such seats?

by atthehive on May 15, 2008 9:46 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

my future father in law

is a very good friend and co worker of the Moffit family, of Freeport-McMoran. I have a better story that the actual owner of the seats told me involving Karl Malone…

Is it PG-13?

If I was Byron Scott

I might bench DX right now. Let him clear his head, and let him eat S.A.’s backups alive.

Jeff Van Gundy is hilarious.

I don’t call him CP3, I call him MVP.

The crescent City Connection

As long as we can hit those, we are IN THE GAME

by mattmc89 on May 15, 2008 9:50 PM CDT   0 recs

SA's 3 point luck is going to run out very soon.

Alley oop dunks? That’s the sort of thing that works forever. And the Spurs can’t guard it.

by atthehive on May 15, 2008 9:52 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

True

But it’s gottta stop some time right?

by atthehive on May 15, 2008 9:54 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

He brought his friends to a Jazz game

in the days of Karl Malone. His friends were getting hammered and just completely talking trash all night, one friend in particular to Malone. Toward the end of the game, Malone hits a shot, (the seats are right next to the basket, across from the hornets bench) turns to the friend, flexes his huge biceps in front of him and with a grimace says something like “I’m gonna make you my b$*%.” I wasn’t there for that one, but I believe him.
