The Spurs are clearly not as athletic.
The Hornets have played some very good defense. I dont know which way this will go. The Spurs have had one real stretch of consistency (beginning of the season) but little after this. We have been blown out multiple times by multiple teams, unlike the past. We have kind of fallen into some wins; I believe our record should be worse than it is. The Phoenix series could have gone the other way imo. When we win, we are wise. When we lose, we are old. Well we are both. And when older players get banged up, it takes longer to recover. Parker and Ginobili are not at full strength. Duncan has been doubled by two big guys, but usually he figures out a way when they dont double. He did not last night. He was AWFUL (21 rebounds withstanding). Parker showed very little agressiveness last night. Chris Paul is flippn amazing. I knew West would give us trouble. Mobile fowards that can shoot and drive are trouble, especially since Horry is not in shape. He was our guy with his length that really helped out. He is very crafty, but that injury has him not even close to full speed. Bowen has been flat out awesome. By far our best player that knows what he needs to bring every night. If we have Parker, Ginobili and Duncan all doing what they do best; And Bowen playing defense, they cannot beat us. Problem is that at least two of the 3 scorers mentioned have been really bad in EVERY game at New Orleans. If Chris Paul dies for some unexplained reason we will win. I will be unable to watch the Celts Cavs matchup. Morton will appreciate that. |
