This should be a great series. Now Chris Paul is going to be forced to guard somebody, and that would be Tony Parker. Getting steals doesn't mean you are a great defender. Saturday is the first game. Should be fun.

Spurs will probably win it in six but I'm pulling for the Hornets to upset them. My dislike for the Suns has shifted to the Spurs and I hope every Laker fan follows suit.

Epic. Spurs in 6. If NO wins, it's in no less than 7.

Pretty much a toss up for me. It's gonna be fun watching this one. I'm more hype for this one than my Lakers team. man1

The Spurs capitalized on Parker's quickness in the series vs the Suns which was the difference. Against the Hornets, Parker will now be at a disadvantage because he has no choice but to guard Paul and he simply can't. You're looking at a long, youthful, athletic New Orleans team that is very quick off their feet. As for the Spurs, not only are they a bit long in the tooth, but they don't have anywhere near the athleticism the Hornets possess.

Can you guys think of one big man on the Spurs roster who has the energy and quickness to run around with Tyson Chandler? Who's going to step outside the paint and cover David West?

I think it's really a nightmare match-up for the Spurs. The Spurs can hang because they are tough and intelligent, but they are really up against the 8ball in this series.

Hornets in 6.

This is going to be good.

Spurs will win it. In 6-7. Experience and defense wins this time. Hopefully, the Spurs will be very, very tired. And we might get Ariza back to help a little off the bench. I'm not counting on Bynum at all.

While Chandler is going to be a handful...who on the Hornets is gonna guard Duncan?

I can't wait to see CP3 vs TP that may be one epic battle.

I got Spurs in 5 , NO is a dirty team, but Spurs can outdo them in that category if they want to, Spurs will not be intimidated and Bowen and Oberto are gonna knock some heads.

Bench clearing brawl in game 7, leading to multiple 4 game suspensions for the winning team.

I think Bowen will play CP3 and TP9 will play Peja or Mo-Pete.

If in case TP9 plays Mo-Pete, Finley/Manu might play Peja. Quite logical for a defensive switch.

Simply put Bowen will guard Paul and no way we will see all those alley-oops to Chandler.

Bowen is going to lock up Peja. He won't be a factor. In Tony Parker can just stay in front of Paul, it's going to change the game for him dramatically.
