If Bowen were covering Kobe, I wouldn't mind Bowen being a cheap-shot artist because I can't stand Kobe.

He'll get his chance........

If the Spurs go down 0-2, no he won`t. Not this year!

You're right of course. But that's a big "if"...

Two 20 point blow outs of ther Spurs and the Hornets have looked more impressive than the Lakers suspect 5-0 playoff record.

I will concede game three to the Spurs, but I think the Hornets comeback and win games 4 and five....

There's just something with Spurs and the season after they win it all. They just can't seem to be able to repeat. They do need some serious help though.

It is???

This series is pretty stunning. Surely D'Antoni has to lose his job now.

The Spurs need to switch Bowen onto Peja and put TP on CP3. What's killing them is the others. Let Paul go off. It's irrelevant. Unlike Paul, Bowen can shut down Peja.

Once they do this they'll have a better chance IMO in the games.

Also, This Hornets team reminds me of the Mavs that year they beat the Spurs. It's just a bad match-up.

The Hornets are good.

It is possible that they are the best team in basketball right now.

Still, SA could even it back up and the pressure will get higher and higher for the Hornets as game 7 approaches.
