"Paul & Company will go down scrapping"

Those aren’t my words, but the words of Peter Finney, New Orleans sports columnist, writing in last Monday’s Times-Picayune.

The Hornets will lose this best-of-seven-game series to the defending NBA champions, despite winning the opener by 19 points.

Personally, I’m not so sure, but I do believe the Spurs will win tonight. The Spurs are favored by six again. And so far in these Conference Semifinals, the home team has won 13 of 14 games.

I expect tonight’s to be another close game, or a blowout favoring the Spurs. It depends on how Byron Scott adjusts — “speed the tempo, play better defense and get more contributions from the bench” — to the changes that Pop made in game three, and whether the Big Three can come through again.

Regardless of the outcome, whoever loses tonight will go down scrapping.

    I ask would the real SA Spurs please stand up? The answer was 100-80.

    This is how it sould be done. Tim was awesome and both Parker and Manu were doing their thing.

    I have no complain as Spurs avoided following the Mavs footstep. They do look good to take Game 5 from NO and win the series in Game 6.

    I have faith on that. No doubt on that.

    What about your thoughts/comment on the game. Would surely love to hear from you.
