TP finally makes a shot, and Manu runsinto Paul up the court for two shot foul. NOw we could be down two. Pop is pissed.

TP does a pretty good job at making an effort to redeem himself in the last 30 or so seconds.

TP with the 3 at the buzzer!

5 points in the last 10 seconds, sweet!

One point lead at the break. Come on guys, rid the sloppy play and we're in good shape.

Ditto, I thought that everybody liked it, so I've been keeping shut about how annoying it is for fear of everybody telling me what a goof I am.

I'd like to see that cooled down

Couldn't agree more, and it's not a 'bad calls against us' thing. It's like every play down is a call against either team. Let the kids play ball!!

Finally, does anybody else feel that we are not playing with the intensity that we showed against the Suns?

Yeah great finish by tP there. I have no idea how we have the lead right now. lol

And yeah, good way to close the half

I think it's the unfamilarity, and adjusting to a different, new team, maybe starting out on the road plays into those some as well.

I think that'll change as things go on...

they are starting to pull away, i see that pattern is back from game 1.

3 on Chandler. Take him out, Byron!

How come our shooters aren't getting as open as theres? How come when our shooters DO get open we're not able to knock down the open shot?

This is an extremely frustrating game.

see you guys in game 3.

Ballings7 · Post #54 » by **Ballings7** » Tue May 6, 2008 3:34 am

Bowen needs to go on Peja

I think this game may be done with...

johnnyjohnnyjohnny · Post #55 » by **johnnyjohnnyjohnny** » Tue May 6, 2008 3:35 am

I think Parker needs to penetrate first, pass second, shoot third.

David West taunts Fabricio Oberto

It's better than slapping Dirk Nowitzki's face, but David West is playing with fire.

Too much fire, IMO. He's proving himself to be a bit of a passive hot-head, here.

johnnyjohnnyjohnny · Post #58 » by **johnnyjohnnyjohnny** » Tue May 6, 2008 4:02 am

We look frickin lost out there. Going to bed.

Good game, Hornets... you guys are playing extremely well. 3 blowouts in the last 3 games against us? I'm almost ready to throw up the white flag.

Darn, the Spurs need to get their act together if they want to get to title # 5. A 2 game deficit is relatively large, but not impossible to overcome. If they can win the next two at home and one in NO, they should be able to win the series IMO, but they'll need to really come out with a vengeance.

Ballings7 · Post #60 » by **Ballings7** » Tue May 6, 2008 4:19 am

I don't think this series is over, but it probably will be if we can't tie it up. Like I said, I think it really can be done.

Hornets took care of their business with another well-played team game

Be interesting to see how we do now...

I think we have to put Bowen more onto Peja... he should get bothered by him on the perimeter and more limited.
