Orlando have done well to stop the bleeding and pull back some of that lead. Detroit lead 65-58 now.

Orlando are only 7-15 from the FT line. Everyone is missing. Dwight Howard looks terrified. Nelson missing. Hedo missing. Orlando were 27th for FT% on the season. They're only 1-10 from downtown also.

Doing well to hold on. This is going to be a good fourth quarter. They need more from Dwight Howard in the paint. Whether it's scoring or rebounds it doesn't matter, they just need more of a presence in the paint.

I expected Chauncey was going to dominate Nelson in this game(series).

I expected Chauncey to dominate Nelson too. But I didn't expect him to blow by him off the dribble whenever he wanted to. That part of his game has been missing in action for most of the past two years. He's really in great shape, his mobility, agility and quickness is the best I've seen in some time from Chauncey.

Yep,he is looking like the old Chauncey from a few yrs.back.

Well the Ring Of Fire has ruined the flow of this game. Talk about an unneccessary pierce of in game entertainment.

Spurs have looked a little vulnerable. They're shooting the ball really well though. Spurs on the other hand have been stymied by the hard doubling of Duncan and solid screen and roll action by the Hornets bigs. Hornets have gotten into their offense better, and have done a better job of getting the types of shots they want.

David West played dumb basketball when Kurt Thomas was in the game. I don't understand what's taking this guy so to learn? Kurt Thomas keeps causing him grief when he tries to post up. On the other hand Kurt Thomas folds like a house of cards whenever West faces up and uses his quickness/shooting abillity to his advantage. He picked it up when Kurt went off and Oberto/Horry tried guarding him.

New Orleans are just so much deeper than San Antonio.

So many more weapons. Stop Paul, then there's West, stop West, then there's Peja, stop Peja then there's Pargo, stop Pargo, then there's Bonzi, stop Bonzi, then there's Mo Pete, stop Mo Pete, then there's Chandler. They just keep coming at you. So many players capable of scoring and scoring from all over the court. The Spurs can't leave anyone open.

Why can't Garnett do what David West does? Tell me what skill West has that Garnett doesn't have? He's killing San Antonio on those midrange shots and odd post ups. Why can't KG do that?

Finley was scared to shoot that 3.  The Hornets will bring out the same flaws in the Spurs that the Hawks have brought out in us, except it will have a bigger effect.


I'm eating my words, as we speak Finley just hit a trey ball.  Oh well, my overall thoughts on the series stay the same.  Hornets in 6.
