Defense is key for the Hornets. They admitted they went away from some of their defensive schemes in Game 3 and low and behold, they lost. That paired with the Spurs hitting about 11 3 pointers = recipe for disaster. Game 3 of this game was almost reminiscent of Game 3 in the Dallas series. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know SA is not Dallas but they were in their house with their backs against the wall and appeared to have given the Hornets their best while the Hornets went away from some things. It'll be interesting to see how the Hornets bounce back on Sunday.

Re: 2008 NBA Playoffs 2nd Round: #2 New Orleans Hornets vs. #3 San Antonio Spurs
I am prejudiced, having lived in New Orleans for about 12 years and San Antonio for the past 5, but game 3 was one of the best individual point guard duels in memory. BOTH CP3 and TP put on a show! I have had a hard time rooting for either team, so I have just rooted for BOTH! I want to see some great basketball - hopefully, including some more of the TP-CP3 SHOW!

Hornets seriously need to get a win in San Antonio and get back home to try to wrap it up on Tuesday. GEAUX HORNETS!

Oh well, it was nice while it lasted. Hornets down 23 in the 3rd. This Hornets team, the way that they're playing tonight, don't even look like they can win at home.

CP hasn't been out of this world tonight,but everyone else has been just horrible.They've blown at least a dozen easy shots...It's very disheartening to see DX play so badly...And Byron may be tossing in the towel

Yeah he tossed in the towel. The starters get no PT in the 4th. I can tell he's p*ssed. He probably told them at halftime what to do and they didn't do anything he told them. But what can you do when the other team is shooting 100%? I can punch every Hornet not named Chris Paul in the face right now. What I want to know is how the Hornets keep missing the open Spur in the corner? Can they not see that as well as we can on tv? There's always an open Spur wide open in the corner.
They made it a point to go right at Tyson. He couldn't defend the way he wanted because he knew as soon as he moved his feet the whistle would blow.

As a former resident of New Orleans and a present resident of San Antonio, these are my two favorite teams. All I can say is the Spurs didn't look like they could win a game either after game 2. In this kind of playoff series, one game doesn't necessarily carry over to the next. Plus home court crowds have a huge impact. The Hornets fan in me tells me that San Antonio still hasn't proved they can win in New Orleans, and 2 of the 3 remaining games are there. In game 5 you will see the Hornets of games 1 & 2. The question is: which Spurs team will show up? The Spurs fan in me worries that they can't win in New Orleans. The Hornets fan in me recognizes that the Spurs didn't win championships by losing every game on their opponents' floor.
