Re: Spurs vs Hornets



I expect the Spurs to take this series. They have more depth and much
better defense which is the key to winning playoff games.

The key matchup will be if Duncan can control West. Paul will
dominate Parker. Chandler > Thomas but Gino will run wild for the
Spurs.

As far as defense goes, NO held Dallas to .422 shooting over their 5
games. Spurs held Phoenix to .460 over 5 games.
I don't see the NO defense being all that weak.
