(Funny how that works ) I agree the Spurs CAN salvage this series at home but will they? As of now, Tyson Chandler looks like he can handle Duncan, but we’ll see how that holds up if Timmah gets more shots in San Antonio.

Bowen on Paul? Failure. When it comes down it, it’s really beginning to look like the Hornets are simply the more talented team between the two. Does that mean they’ll win the series and dethrone the champs? Maybe, maybe not. But they certainly look the part.

You are right, the Spurs have looked old and almost deflated after these first two losses. Without any answer for Chris Paul, it certainly looks like they might be in a serious hole. That being said, I do think the Spurs can pull something off. More than looking a step slow, the problem has been an inexplicable shift in their offesnive game plan. 20 shots in two games for Tim Dunca–are you kidding me? The offense should run through him on every play. When the series returns to San Antonio, I think you will see the Spurs of old return as well.
