CP3 and Tony Longoria going at it reminded me so much of Hawks-Hornets in the mid 90s when Steve Smith and Glen Rice were dueling...great watch last nite

Byron Scott needs to try to contain Ginobilli. He's the x factor for the Spurs. If he has a bad game, the Spurs lose. You are not going to stop Parker, he's going to blow past whoever he gets. Duncan, you know you have to double or get taken to school. I would force Ginobilli to his right all the time and try to contain him that way. He rarely goes to his right and pull up for a jumper, that's his weakness...attack it.

CP3 could've and should've taken that game over sooner yesterday before letting the Spurs' lead get out of hand. I'm more than confident he wont' let that happen game 4. He's too good and competitive to let it. Then again, I thought he & the Hornets had learned their lesson from the game 3 loss in Dallas the previous series, but oh well, I'm pretty sure they'll take game 4, if anything, mostly due to Chris Paul. He'll handle business earlier if need be & stop the bleeding.

Seeing the Spurs about to the tie series up with NO makes me feel better about our loss.

Suddenly the Spurs doesn't look so old. They look like last year's team.

Ha, not only did Paul travel but he pushed off while doing it and still gets the foul.

That's the Spurs. They look terrible - then suddenly they look rejuvenated.

This is the reason why people should not panic when we lose a game. It's normal. It happens to everyone: Hornets, Spurs, Celtics...

Good teams will always come back.

im happy the series is tied because now i know they have to play at least the same amount of games as the lakers it will go at least 6 games so either way whichever team comes it out will both be beat up

So glad this series is tied. I don't who I'll be rooting for in Game 5 but I think the Spurs will take this one.

*Yawn*

This game is making me fall asleep. Hell, every Spurs series does, unless it's against the Lakers.

If Pop got any closer to his face, they would have been kissing.

What I want to know is how they could give a double foul and a double Tech at the same time? That NO dude just basically shoved Oberto (sp?) in the face.

It seems like West never misses on that jumper of his. They would be nowhere without him.

After watching a few of these games I've come to realize that West is a true allstar.

It has nothing to do with Chris Paul. Tyson's success is largely due to Paul, but West does it on his own.

I have a tough time seeing San Antonio winning a game on the road in this series. They just tire out in the 2nd half. So unless the Hornets choke because of the lack of experience i just don't see it.

One major weakness I have seen is just stick a guy in Peja's face, and he'll crumble.
