You can stick a fork in the Hornets and chalk one up for the home team. I hope Pop will have his crew ready for battle because the Spurs haven't been so hot in New Orleans.

Yup. And the home teams have prevailed in the Conference Semifinales with only 1 home team(Orlando) losing a game at home.

[pirate4state]

Just prolonging the misery.....

[eagles_victory]

Cheap shot bob struck again tonight.

[STANG RED]

I'm amazed that all six games have been blow outs by the home team. I bet game 7 will be much closer. I still think the Spurs can pull it out even in NO, if they can just keep it close. But so far, neither traveling team has still been in the game in the 4th quarter.

It's playoff basketball. There have been hard fouls/screens on both sides. When it's "win or go home" you need to be prepared to do what's needed to survive.

If your not prepared to do that, don't even get on the bus.

Tony Parker: See I told you guys. All we have to do is continue
to flop and cheat and we'll be playing the Pistons soon.

Boston may have something to say about that.

horry knew west's back was hurt. so he leans into a screen while west was in the air and delivers a shoulder to west's lower back. obviously horry sucks so bad and bricks everything that the only reason popovich puts him out there is to hurt people.

After what I've seen West do every game I've ever watched him play in, I'm glad to see somebody get physical with him. He is one of the dirtiest and whiniest players :weeping: I've ever seen. Playing somebody like West requires a physical player who doesn't back down, and who can concentrate on the defensive end. Putting Horry on him is a no-brainer for Pop. I love it!

[XtremeCouture]

You are a huge homer if you even try to argue that wasnt a cheap shot.

[Phil C]

If you see it Horry was just standing there and it was West that iniated the contact by running into Horry. You have to be careful out there.

It's the playoffs, do or die. If you want to be "nice" go play Old Maid or something.

[Phil C]

Besides the Spurs wouldn't do a cheap shot. Remember everyone says they are a soft team.

and your a hater if you really think it was. .. it was a legitimate backscreen...horry didnt know ginobili was trying to pass it..he was just trying to clear a lane...this wasnt even really a foul...just like the back screen that tyson chandler set on tony parker i think in game 4 wasnt a foul either...if your set on a back screen it shouldnt be a foul..

and committing 5 fouls doesnt mean your in there to hurt people..it means your in there to play defense..and i think horry did his job nicely....as scoop jackson asked on 1st and 10 today if it was a 2 point game does west stay down like that and then leave...or does he suck it up and come back

Hey Paul committed four fouls. Who was he trying to hurt?

actually i think paul picked up number 5 with another offensive foul when he put a shoulder into kurt thomas towards the end of the game

CP is 6'0" and 175 lbs. In the world of the NBA that is a midget.
I don't know anyone that has ever been beaten up by a midget.


Well, except that time Go Blue was in that bar fight...Oh! and
that time Gsquared didn't tip that exotic dancer....


Well, you get my point.
