Tony Parker v. Chris Paul

Not really the key match up, since Bowen will probably guard Paul. And they are very different players, whose team ask them to do different things. New Orleans pretty much depends on Paul being the creator, whereas San Antonio can run it's offense through Duncan or Manu.
Bottom line: The Spurs can still win if Parker has a bad game. If Paul has a bad game, they don't have a chance.
 
While I'm not conceding that the Parker-Paul and Duncan-West match ups are necessarily a "push," I think the key to this match up is Manu Ginobli. If all starters have the games they are capable of, then the production off the bench will be the difference-maker. A lethal Manu will put Tony in a position to break Chris.
 
Watch out for Pargo off the Hornets bench. He can score and if he is on he can shoot the lights out. He's shooting 51% from the field and 45% from 3. He'll face much stiffer defense in this series but if he's on he's gonna be hard to defend.
 
Last part of the quarter and it was West vs Horry. This is a slam dunk for the Hornets...except that West missed a wide-open dunk.

Hook'em!!!

OMG! The ring of fire has caused a major delay in this game. Duncan on the bench drawing plays for Popovich is hilarious. Teams asking for permission to go the lockerroom. How ******* bush league is this?!?

Hook'em!!!

Bowen, that little wimpy *** bastard, is totally faking. He was hit around the neck and he's holding his face like he was hit there. This is total ********!

Hook'em!!!

Does Paul ever play out of control, never seems to force anything just is always in control of the offense and in control of his game.

This isn't a very good angle of that incident. It seems that Bruce kind of sticks his forearm out, before Paul gets there. Then Paul acts like he was shoved, except he falls totally in the wrong direction. He was trying to fake and get Bruce a Technical. I lost a little respect for Paul after that.
