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.
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.
+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
Why can't Sean finish around the freakin rim
my goodness.
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.
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?
Too many fouls on our big men. Maybe we will need Ely tonight.
Devin Brown is a basketball God!
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…
No doubt about that. Every game in the playoffs was decided in the third besides game 7.
We neeed this game.

Devin Brown is a basketball God!
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.
I love the excitement in the arena.
I just hope they come out with the win
JuJu AGAIN!

He should stay in the lineup if Peja comes back or not.
Devin Brown is a basketball God!
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
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.
He's so dang crafty and just slithers in there
great smart player.
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%.

Oh i love it
and they pushed the tempo. Something we’ve been crying for forever.
Yeah
They are pushing the break HARD… and I’m wondering, where has this been? But once again, better late than never I guess. Great stuff.
LETS GOO!!

Now does CP sit with all that running

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

Passion, Purpose, Pride.

Why no free throws for CP3 on that previous drive?
Devin Brown is a basketball God!
Butler is off
But the defense is keeping them ahead. Just need one good 3 to get some breathing room
AT A BOY D-WEST!!!
Devin Brown is a basketball God!
Probably the best all-around *effort* of the season..
I knew there had to be some fight left in them.
Great Game.

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.
