Heh, I'm like the last fan Spurs have My prediction is that Chris Paul brings his A game, David West plays about average, Chandler gets shut down, a couple of NO roleplayers play well, I think Pargo and Peja... Duncan has a very good game, same with Ginobili.. Parker plays ok, probably 15/6. Hopefully this game comes down to the wire, and does not turn into a blowout like the last 6 :/

Duncan won't have a good game, it'll be under average for his standards. Chandler will hold him down, but not produce that many points himself. And then, it all comes down to David West. Will he be okay? Or will NO have to play small-ball with Bonzi for stretches, and Paul have to handle alot of the offensive load? This could get ugly.
Pargo had a good game... But he also cost NO any chance they had of winning. They didn't even let David West touch the ball virtually the entire 4th Q. It was a good game though, I'm shocked that Spurs won even though they shot that horribly in the 4th.
The Hornets didn't run any offense in the 4th quarter. I think Paul was just gassed. He couldn't sit when the Hornets fell behind and he just didn't have anything left at the end of the game. It's amazing how the oldest team in the league wears out these younger teams with their depth and their precise, difficult to guard offense.
Spurs fought back; I can't say I cared either way but they should get props for winning 4 out of five against NO. I loved how the Lakers played against them with Pau though, so I don't mind.
