spurs in 4


they got over the hump that was in the way, the only way is up now for the spurs, the championship is there for them to lose if they dont keep it up

We're gonna have a big disadvantage at the PG position, very unlike our last series.

They aren't even, but I don't think CP3 can guard Tony 1 on 1 and Tony can't guard CP3 one on one. There you go.

... should be a goodie.


"Now you see him, now you don't." - Paul (surely too quick for Bowen) vs. Parker

"He's going left!" - Peterson vs. Ginobili

"I'll be in the corner if you need me, guys" - Stojakovic vs. Bowen

West vs. Thomas (because he'd murder Oberto)

Chandler (foul trouble crucial) vs. Duncan

Will be a great series, but I think for the Hornets to win it they need to go up 2-0 to have a chance.

I think the Spurs can win on the road. I don't know if the Hornets can win in the AT&T center.
