By Aggrey Sam and Toney Blare Pre-game AS: The Spurs locker room is very quiet. I take that as a sign of focus. I was wrong. Does anybody know what the No. 35 patches on their shooting shirts stand for? I forgot to ask. Rudy Gay is walking...

The Spurs face an elimination game.  It has been a while since we've been in this position. The Hornets on the other hand, face a close out game.  Rumor has it they are the hardest.  I hope so. I really believe we will win...

Tough to get pumped about hoops tonight, what with The Office season finale starting at the same time as game six between the Spurs and Hornets, and then what appears to be the Best Episode in Lost History happening at 10. ( Aside: Doesn’t it...

Obviously not a good night for the Hornets yesterday, losing to the Spurs 99-80, forcing them to play a seventh game in New Orleans. Again, we saw the home team not only come out on top but blow out the opposing team. This has been a theme...

Unfortunately, we have to wait about a month for Game 7 of Hornets/Spurs (they don’t play ’til Tuesday night). If you’re a Hornets fan, you have to be pretty worried about your young squad having to deal with the veteran Spurs in a...

Tim Duncan needs to guard David West.  Screw foul trouble.  We're one game from elimination, and Tim will have no use for those extra fouls while he's sitting next to a St. Croix pool in a week.  I'm afraid that's where he'll be if...

New Orleans 101, San Antonio 79: Passed out at halftime, so we missed the third quarter comeback (28-11), but yeah, this one surprises us. Chris Paul struggled a bit from the field (6-for-18), and the Hornets got nothing from Peja (nine points), but...

Here we go, folks. The Hornets will host the Spurs tonight for a pivotal Game 5. Win, and we have two shots to take the series. Lose, and there's a good chance there will be no more games at the Arena this season. So make no mistake: this one is big....

1) Defensive adjustments What worked so well in games 1 and 2 - the double on Tim Duncan - is no longer working, and tonight I expect Byron to try a different sort of defense.  The Spurs countered the double by playing Tim and Manu on the same...

It's a best of three series now. The Spurs have some good Mojo going right now but they are headed back to the hive.  Can we keep up the pressure and force the youngsters to crack?  Or will Chris Paul and David West step up their...

Some things I noticed last night: Early in the game the Hornets were clearly determined to get Peja Stojakovic going. Stojakovic has been a non-factor ever since the Spurs switched Bruce Bowen onto him to start Game 3. Here's why I hated what the...
