The series isn't over, even if they lose tonight the Spurs are still heading home for a couple and can even things up. Having said that, there are a few things that are pretty apparent right now: 1) Bowen's officially jumped the shark. 2-3 years ago he'd be getting in front of Paul, drawing charges, and generally screwing Paul's rhythm up. I just saw him get beat to the basket by Peja fucking Stojakovic and he can't keep up with Paul at all. 2) Tyson Chandler's doing better defensively against Duncan than I think anyone outside of NO could have reasonably expected. We're into the 4th quarter of game 2 and Duncan still doesn't have 20 points for the SERIES. This won't last forever - Duncan's simply too good - but the fact that he's being limited by Chandler and some smart double-teams(I'll get to this shortly) speaks volumes for how much better Chandler has become. 3) Byron Scott is outcoaching Pop so far. I know Rufus just winced when I said that, mostly because he knows I'm right. His defensive gameplan, the offensive gameplan, and halftime adjustments are all decidedly in NO's favor thus far. Hell I just saw NO pull out a 4-man weave at the top of the arc; the last time I saw that was at a Globetrotters game. But you know what? It opened up Paul for a drive to the basket. 4) Paul deserved the MVP over Kobe. It's worth mentioning again. He's taking Parker - the 2007 NBA Finals MVP iirc - to the basket almost at will. This is part of the reason why Bowen's been assigned to Paul, because Pop's not getting much D out of his PG...not that anybody can guard Paul right now.

The Hornets are just a good team. They all seem to compliment each other so well. It's a little surprising to me that they're so young yet they know their own strengths and weaknesses and play to them accordingly.

Hornets played well tonight and I agree that Pop is being out-coached. the Hornets knew that the Spurs would take care of West tonight so tonight Paul took over whereas last game it was vice versa. Spurs gonna step up their D and I expect that they'll do that next game.

I got nothing. The third was disheartening and the 4th brought a glimmer to mind. The last 6 mins was the letdown. I'm still a Spurs supporter, but I am not happy right now. To Jonny: No comment on the coaching biz. I can't say anything here. Aggressive Bowen has been rocked to sleep and Duncan needs to be the trigger man, but that pin isn't firing for some reason. Parker was slow to ignite tonight and got handled up as well. The fucking Hornets. Never thought I would find a team to dislike as much as the Celtics, but I have. It's not for lack of talent, but rather how they are making theirs work. To everybody saying that SA gets calls in their favor, I give you tonight's game. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.
