thumbdown.gif Ugly, ugly game. Hornets take Game 1: 101 to 82.

Wasn't an easy game for the Hornets, but the "fresher, younger" legs won (I believe it was David West in the postgame interview). Ugly, ugly, ugly game .... thumbdown.gif


GO! SPURS! GO!!!!!

Man, the Hornets punked the Spurs. Paul was dribbling circles around those old dudes.

I'll take New Orleans in 4. thumbsup.gif

Spurs have plenty left.........I think, but they have to get ready for this young gunner type team that is red hot now,

Spurs in 7

Tonight will tell the tale....

happy65.gif Come on, SPURS! GO!!!!

Need to put these two teams in pads!
ETBU89
As my little grandson would say, "Gran, that was emberressing - just plain emberressing!"

And I'd have to nod my head and agree. **I still love my SPURS!!!!**

Game 2: Hornets 102 - 84

Indeed it did.
ETBU89
The sun will rise in the mourning, but tonight I'm beginning to wonder what players will be "retired" so that the SPURS will have younger, fresher legs. Will the integrity and character of the team stay intact with those changes?

Oh, I hate change! crybaby.gif

Were those Mav players wearing Spurs uniforms?jk

Spurs need to regroup and protect home court.
Immortal13
At this point, I would be shocked if the Spurs could extend this series to five games......as the Mavs did.

I love ya Yao, but it looks like someone should go ahead and stick a fork in the Spurs....

They're done.
ETBU89
Unless something miraculous happens, Immortal, I have to agree with you. They haven't had the drive or the fire all season. As I wrote earlier, I have a feeling there will be some changes in the Spurs roster. They may have more experience, but they are being beaten by youth. This has been a topic of conversation in San Antonio for a couple years now - the age of the players. They can outplay and outscore in the first half and lose it in the third? That's age and exhaustion.

Oh well, the fat lady's warming up, but she hasn't started singing yet....
ETBU89
I swear - if I have a heart attack, it will be during a SPURS game!

GAME 3: SPURS happy65.gif 110 to 99

The end of the 2nd quarter was just great. Really want they needed. They played like the true Spurs in the second half, and N.O. had no answer.
ETBU89
So far, a great 3rd quarter for the champion SPURS. They are playing like they're hungry for another championship. Question is, can they play this well when they return to New Orleans??????


SERIES TIED 2 TO 2 - SPURS win 100 - 80! happy65.gif happy65.gif

Thank you, SPURS, for making this Mother's Day end as perfectly as it began!!!!! notworthy.gif

Sometimes....being shocked is a good thing.
ETBU89
Amen to that!!!! In this case, shocked is very good!
ETBU89
Okay, I have a theory - only diehard SPURS fans respond. rolleyes.gif

See, I've been thinking that maybe the Hornets didn't allow the SPURS to bring in their oxygen tanks (you know, after all the comments people have been making about the younger, fresher legs of the Hornets versus the creaky, tired, old legs of the SPURS - sucking oxygen during halftime would be advantageous to the old guys). Well, that got me to thinking.

What if ... during halftime the Hornets actually had several huge vacuums that sucked out most of the oxygen in the SPURS locker room - leaving the SPURS light-headed and confused during the third quarter? OR

What if ... they were actually poisoning the SPURS with mold spores - you know the leftover Hurricane Katrina effect? Hmmmmm....

Both of those would actually make the SPURS feel pretty crappy until they got the blood going again and were able to expel all the "bad" air ... taking most of the 3rd quarter. Hmmmmmmm....

Now - it they play well tonight - at home - during the 3rd quarter, I'm going to really wonder about that halftime locker room in New Orleans. Anybody with me on this????? thumbsup.gif

GCPride - let's hope you're right. So far, Immortal and I have been wrong.... I still think SPURS - they are due a win on the road. Monday night ...

SPURS win Game 6: 99 - 80

Series tied.

The SPURS just can't seem to win it all for the home crowd! Tradition - it's okay.... Just WIN!!!!!
boydawg1
I hope the spurs lose, they are a bunch of dirty players, and fake floppers, and they are in big trouble!
ETBU89
You SPURS haters are so funny!!!!! Just about spewed my Americana all over the screen! First, the SPURS don't play aggressively enough - and when they do - they are accused of playing dirty. You and CNO need to start your own thread! thumbsup.gif You could see who hates them more.... You're funny!
CHSMom
Game on...crossing my fingers and toes...Go Spurs GO!
ETBU89
So far, so good ... At the half SPURS 51 to Hornets 42.

SPURS MUST control the 3rd quarter!

If they do, they (the Spurs) go on to play the Lakers.
ETBU89
Here we go....

GO! SPURS! GO!

End of the third...Spurs up by 15, keeping my fingers crossed...Go Spurs GO!

ETBU89
Rhino,

Yesssssssss!


CHSMom ~ Don't you uncross those fingers until ... well, not until the end!

Man what an exciting game, can't wait for the LA v SA series....
ETBU89
GC, I'm sure it was probably just a slip-up - something about alphabetical order ...

but that should read SA v LA series, if you don't mind. flowers.gif
