GT: Spurs vs. Hornets 

Post#1 » by Nolan » Sat Nov 27, 2010 4:59 pm

When: 3:00 PM ET, November 28, 2010
Where: New Orleans Arena, New Orleans, LA

VS

Starting Lineups:

Spurs:
PG - Tony Parker
SG - Manu Ginobli
SF - Richard Jefferson
PF - Tim Duncan
C - Dejuan Blair

Hornets:
PG - Chris Paul
SG - Marco Belinelli
SF - Trevor Ariza
PF - David West
C - Emeka Okafor

Well the winning streak is over but now its time to start a new one. As always the key to beating the Hornets is going to be keeping Chris Paul out of the paint. We have to do our best to stop the Paul West pick and roll, close out on West and contain Paul.

Go Spurs!!

2 L's in a row for us? It's very possible.

I'm super happy with our start no matter what happens with this game.

But yeah we need to limit CP's penetration into the paint and hope that West finally has a dud game against us. Dude kills us every time.

It is kinda scary that we are scoring with so much regularity but what I am impressed by is that we can go with a mode where we can shutdown teams for a qtr. I don't think we will ever see the knockdown drag out type of games anymore. Pop realizes that we aren't going to win like that anymore.

Nice win after a tough loss. Spurs are looking very good. TD only had 28 mins. The amount of mins Pop is putting on his stars is going under the radar. It will all prove beneficial come PO time. TD puts up 28 mins and Gasol puts up 46 mins. I love it.

Yeah, there used to be games where we would go cold offensively for long stretches, and our stellar D kept us in most games.

Now, it's our offense that is winning us games. We've never had this level of depth at so many spots on the floor. Neal is down in the rotation, and he's deadly! It's a nice luxury to have, and it makes for more watchable basketball.

He's done a great job of watching Duncan and Manu's minutes so far this year and he's still getting lots of production out of them.

Great come from behind win.
