Yeah The Spurs Are Coming Home But So What!

Ok the Spurs are back in SA after two humiliating beating by the hands of the Hornets in Games 1 and 2. Now Spurs nation is going a bit overboard on the fact the Spurs are coming back home for games 3 and 4. Just because they are coming back to SA doesn’t mean crap! Coming home does not give this team an instant win, they still have to play the game.
Like I said in the Hornets/Spurs podcast preview, the preview blog (yes there is a playoff blog on this series but it hasn’t been posted), hell, even in podcasts before the playoffs started, I was nervous about this Hornets team and warned my Co-Host Mike, about this team. I even picked the Hornets to win this series! Looks like I am right so far. . . unfortunately.
It’s like you can already predict the flow of Game 3. Spurs and Hornets trade buckets in the first quarters, Spurs show signs of life in the second quarter, Spurs take lead at half, and Spurs fall apart in the third and fourth quarters.
What I am trying to get at is just because the Spurs are back in SA doesn’t mean squat! This Hornets team beat the crap out of the Spurs this season and you know Byron Scott is reminding his team of this fact.
Spurs haven’t showed anything to Spurs Nation in this series other than they are old, and lack a killer instinct. They didn’t even make the games 1 and 2 competative so what can I hang my hat on as the Spurs return to SA? NOTHING!

I agree with most of the arguments. I just want to say that during the regular season, Spurs were (34-7) at home. Don’t forget that. Of course, one of those 7 losses fell under the Hornets, but that’s not the point I want to present. What I want to say is, home-court advantage means a lot to almost all of the teams, Spurs included. That is why the Hornets won both home game. That is why the Spurs will win both games at home.
Hornets are (26-15) on the road, (30-11) at home.
The Spurs’ wild/risky passes made mostly by Manu led to the turnover and thus created extra momentum to the Hornets. That is why the Spurs failed in the second half of both games. Transition D is another factor. Chris, David, and Peja will annihilate you on a one-on-one matchup, no matter who the opponent is. Spurs have the 3rd best defense in the league, and they know how to defend. Of course the big 3 will lift the team a little, but everyone has to make an effort to play some D (aka. Manu) and help Timmy on his double-teams. That should create some momentum for the Spurs and will get the win.
GO SPURS!!!!!!!!

The Hornets just present too many match-up problems. The Suns literally escorted TP and Manu to the basket and the Hornets are not doing it. Freaking Peja is looking all world right now. How embarrasing is that?
yeah,yeah. . . yada yada yada. y’alls comments are
truly are arm-chair jock! the point is, gentlemen,
the San Antonio Spurs are just like fine wine–they
get better and better with age. Raw talent is wonder-
ful when one is young; what you do with it as time passes is what matters. In the long run (transition)
it’s like Tony Parker said to David Letterman: “every
other year,that’s good. If we do it back-to-back, then
we truly are a DYNASTY !!! (Would anyonelike a glass of wine–or will it be coffee on Monday morning?)!!!!
Win or lose, the Spurs are still the best in the West!
