If we win this game.....
then we know for sure that this team has heart. CP3 and D-West will have to shine if we are gonna win this game.
Devin Brown is a basketball God!

Hubie on Hilton "Loves to finish with the left hand"
As horrible as this season has been, that makes me smile. Who’d have ever guessed.

They have to go to the basket to get some calls.
Can’t just shoot and expect to get to the line. Chris has to be offensively aggressive as well.
I really wish they could up the tempo because the half court sets will not be that successful vs spurs.

That *almost* got out of hand
Good recovery… down a few points but I like the flow of the game right now.
That said I’m with you Ron… they need to try to get to the basket. Spurs are trying to prevent that so they should get some calls.

Well it could be worse
They will need to make some 3s. I dont know who but somebody needs to to offset Ginobli’s 3s. seems to be on auto vs Hornets from 3.
by RonD on Mar 29, 2009 7:37 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Hopefully either Butler or Mo Pete
Butler has been slumping a bit from 3 lately… I keep waiting for him to start hitting again.

Devin Brown shooting a jumpshot is basically a wasted possesion...
Sure, it might go in… but probably not.
A six point deficit but that wasn’t a bad quarter overall… and what a shot by Butler with Ginobli all over him.
by Caleb462 on Mar 29, 2009 7:37 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
+3 in 2 2nd quarter minutes
Ugly as it was, I’ll take it every time!

Also
I love LOVE that ESPN always puts Hubie Brown on the Hornets.
by atthehive on Mar 29, 2009 7:44 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Yeah it took 9/10 of the season to get there
But hey, I’ll take it
by Caleb462 on Mar 29, 2009 7:55 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
+3 in 6 minutes the final result
Nice… but why the AD/CP lineup? Why not hold out Paul a few more minutes since AD is playing well?

Another one of those head scratching decisions by Scott
He really has no idea what he wants to do
by RonD on Mar 29, 2009 7:58 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Why can't Sean finish around the freakin rim
my goodness.
by RonD on Mar 29, 2009 7:59 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
We miss Chandler so bad
He would’ve dunked that on Duncan’s head.
by atthehive on Mar 29, 2009 7:59 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Definitely. Tim Duncan can't even jump, literally. He rarely jumps ever to do anything.

West on Duncan will not work.
You need him to score. He will get in foul trouble guarding Duncan.
Chris!! You have to score. Shoot the open shots.
by RonD on Mar 29, 2009 8:04 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
What option do we have though
Oh right… Melvin Ely. The guy who played spectacular D on TD in the playoffs.
Did Byron just like… forget that he exists?
by atthehive on Mar 29, 2009 8:05 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Hahahah, and he misses a 0 footer
I feel stupid
by atthehive on Mar 29, 2009 8:11 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Too many fouls on our big men. Maybe we will need Ely tonight.

Man, Melvin Ely is sooo bad.

Good half.
-4 but I’m satisfied. They just need to make sure SA doesn’t go on a run in the 3rd. So many of those playoff games last year were decided in the 3rd…
by Caleb462 on Mar 29, 2009 8:13 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
No doubt about that. Every game in the playoffs was decided in the third besides game 7.
We neeed this game.

We could easily jump the Rockets in the standings within the next 5 games.
Our schedule:
@ Kings
@ Clippers
@ Warriors
vs. Jazz
@ Heat
Rockets schedule:
@ Suns
@ Lakers
vs. Blazers
vs. Magic
@ Kings

With the way things have been lately
Im trying to not even think about all that stuff, I just wanna watch one game at a time.
by Caleb462 on Mar 29, 2009 8:19 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
If you asked before the game...
Down by 4 at half? I would have said yes.
by m-W on Mar 29, 2009 8:25 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
I love the excitement in the arena.
I just hope they come out with the win

He should stay in the lineup if Peja comes back or not.

Absolutely
JuJu got his groove back.
by Caleb462 on Mar 29, 2009 8:43 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Ha, Butler doesn't have the best court vision does he
But hey that’s not what he’s paid for.
JuJu looks confident. I like it.

Man I need to keep saying guys arent good at things
That was a great pass by Butler and a great move by Marks

Agh, good defense but Finley makes it anyway

Ginobli is automatic foul line when he goes to the basket
by RonD on Mar 29, 2009 8:49 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Yeah
He might scare me more than any other wing in the league (yes, more than Kobe, since Kobe settles for the step back against good D). When Ginobili drives, the WORST result for the Spurs is him at the line. And they’re all legitimate foul calls too.
by atthehive on Mar 29, 2009 8:55 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
He's so dang crafty and just slithers in there
great smart player.
by RonD on Mar 29, 2009 8:58 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
He reminds me of Paul Pierce with his driving ability.
He’s always at the line.

He's playing GREAT basketball in the words of Hubie Brown. I agree 100%.

This is the New Orleans Hornets I know, no matter how depleted.

thats been missing all season. this is the team that got me hooked last year. they can really beat the spurs today. they just have to play hard

Why no free throws for CP3 on that previous drive?

Butler is off
But the defense is keeping them ahead. Just need one good 3 to get some breathing room

Probably the best all-around *effort* of the season..
I knew there had to be some fight left in them.

Anyone look at +- tonight?
Starts other than DX, -13 summed. DX +11. Bench, +22 summed.

That's the most fun I had at a game.
The Spurs’ big three all played well, so there is no excuse. They took too many 3s, and they paid for it.
by redzero on Mar 29, 2009 11:04 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Not sure they took too many 3s.
Just missed too many. A little luck on our side. But I’ll take it.

Good win Hornet fans. Nice free throw shooting. 32-33 is amazing. I don’t even know what it feels like to have that much confidence when my team shoots fts.
I'm comfortable winning -- Emmanuel Ginobili
