Spurs V Hornets Part Deux...

Now, on to the Thursday night potential changing of the guard playoff matchup...

But before I do, some thoughts on the Green Machine vs. the One Man Machine.
Am I surprised by the second game slaughter? Yes. Am I surprised that LeBron struggled again? Yes. Did I expect the Cavs to win the series? I thought they had a chance. Now? None of that matters. The Celtics, namely, KG are awake. Only game 3 will tell how awake, but they are here. The Cavs aren't the Hawks people.
I liken this matchup to a King returned to his land from a great battle. In his absence (17 year absence), there was another dynasty long gone (Bulls), and the establishment of a former empire (Pistons). But there was a young challenging empire with a ruler full of bravado that took the old King's throne - LeBron last year. But dammit, the true King of the East is back, make no mistake about it. And that is what I think we are seeing.

Its halftime right now in the Hornets v Spurs, and pretty close. Lemme tell you why the Hornets are going to win, on the record. While Ginobles made the last shot, and Dirty Bruce made a 3 right before that, the transition offense capped by the Yugoslavian bomber's 3 was not a scramble play, not a last second play, like the prior 2 Espuela buckets, but a regular CP3 led transition bucket.

Will it be an wasy game? I very much doubt it. This is Spurs country still, and you gotta acknowledge that Pop told them at the half that their season is banking on this half. Now, since I can't type and watch, I'm gonna watch.
Peace out. Find some time to play pickup ball.
