I'm going to go with the Spurs. Obviously if they want the top seed they need to win pretty much every game from here on out. I like how Thomas is showing his commitment to the team. I also really like Manu's game play this year. Spurs will win!

We tend to handle the inexperienced Hornets well. I'm guessing we win by 8.

It's the worst time ever to go on a shooting slump and these guys are in one badly, somethings gotta give because this month is pretty killer.

Well, certainly didn't expect that... tremendous game by the Hornets.

Finley really has to get out of this slump very soon. Get back to playing more consistent like he has for most of the year.

Hornets announcers continue be be incredible homers... cemented by when the play by play guy said the Spurs are not a top 2/3 team in the west/league (in general, not going by this game). What a stupid claim.

I can understand being biased to your team, but god these guys are abnormal. Like everytime I catch them.

I remember last year after Denver had won Game 1 of the first round against the Spurs, some journalist from Denver wrote a great article on how the Spurs were done and how their time had past, then he had to swallow his words as the Spurs came back and won 4 in a row and than went on to win the title.

San Antonio - With a 95-89 victory everybody else in basketball will regard as an upset, the Nuggets sent an unmistakable, undeniable message to Tim Duncan and the once-great San Antonio Spurs.

It's over for you.

It has been a great run by the Spurs, including three NBA championships, but it's done.

Not trying to be a troll but where do you guys think Sean Elliot ranks in homerism? Every time i watch a spurs game done by him i have to turn off the audio, the only person i can think of who is not as big of a homer is Tommy from the Celtics and it ain't by much.

nobody's on Tommy's level, I'd rank Sean in the 2nd tier of homerism, he's on par with 90% of the color/play-by-play announcers, I think I've only listened to one pair of unbiased guys out there and those are the Clippers announcers.

I am not a fan of Sean...

Ballings7 · Post #15 » by **Ballings7** » Thu Mar 13, 2008 6:27 am

He's in the torture chamber right now

The Spurs had it bad tonight. Getting outscored from the bench 27-10. 45-27 rebounds in favor of the Hornets and only TD and Parker got to double figure scoring tonight.

Ballings7 · Post #17 » by **Ballings7** » Thu Mar 13, 2008 7:00 am

Manu got 11

Forgot him. Just looking at the stats were terrible consider it's the Spurs we're talking about.

I think Sean is right up there with Tommy in homerism. Afterall, Dwight Howard hasn't seen anyone as athletic as Rasho.

Memorial Day Miracle Baby!

Sean is pretty bad, but compared to Scott Hastings of Denver and Tommy of the Celtics he's a second tier.
