Spurs-Hornets: Still a Country for Old Men

We all thought this would be the year for a younger, stronger team to dominate the playoffs, but the Spurs have once again shown why they have four World Championships.

It’s true that even NBA superstars who live in assisted living can make a playoff series unbelievably entertaining to watch.  Accordingly, it’s amazing how someone with the lackluster of star potential can find himself entering such a star-struck marriage, and also find the time to concentrate on his game. 

I mean, it’s the playoffs! 

With the Spurs down 2-0 early in the second round, most people counted them out.  But as we have come to understand, experience takes its toll again in the playoffs. 

With the series now tied after an exciting and disastrous Game Six, the esteemed Spurs look to strike again, with the young Hornets backed into a corner. As the great Muhammad Ali once said "Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee." the Hornets need this mentality as Game Seven approaches in their nest.

After losing David West, who took 38 to the bank in Game Five, the Hornets will now have to rely on their leader, Chris Paul. Paul has put up some amazing statistics himself in the postseason, with a ridiculous 121 assists and only 18 turnovers!

I'm going out in the yard with a stick, but you can put money that my stick isn't going near any Hornets' nest, as that’s not a fun place to play if you want to savor the rest of your summer.
