Tuesday night’s game was more of a New Orleans Hornets win and not a Spurs loss. The Hornets outplayed the Spurs on every aspect, they never let the Spurs get a decent shot and they never let the Spurs defend properly. Again they outplayed the Spurs.Every time it seemed the Spurs’ Manu Ginobili or Tony Parker could end the bleeding with a three pointer or driving the lane, the Hornets came right back with an alleyoop or a West three-pointer. A lot of analysts say the Hornets are inexperienced and young and can’t win the championship, well...Tuesday’s game really changed things around or did it?The Hornets have not won in San Antonio and like most NBA teams in the playoffs; it seems to be very hard for a team to win on the road this year (except for the Pistons). As long as they continue to play this well especially with the defense and the mismatches on offense, they could beat the Spurs. Never count out the Spurs though. They’re the defending the champions, they’re a dynasty, they’re a class-act organization and they won’t give up the title without a fight. If the Spurs can somehow get out of a 3-2 deficit and defeat the Lakers/Jazz and make it to the championship and win it then this team could be even better than the Bulls of the Jordan years.
Can the Spurs do it? Only time will tell but this year is probably the hardest time to win against any team in the Western conference.
