Tim Duncan Out, Anthony Davis In – Hornets vs. Spurs - Pelican Debrief - Pelican Debrief - A New Orleans Pelicans Fan Site - News, Blogs, Opinion and More

]]> If the Hornets never had a better opportunity to beat the division leaders San Antonio Spurs, this is it. This will be the 4th and final match up between these two teams of this regular season and the Spurs currently hold a 2-1 series lead. The Hornets will look to even the series out and take advantage of the Spurs being without likely all-star Tim Duncan and starting forward Kawhi Leonard.

Anthony Davis was listed as questionable for tonight’s game against the Spurs but it seems that he will be ready to play. The return of Eric Gordon has led the Hornets to win 7 of their last 9 games after starting out 7-25.

The Spurs are currently 18-2 at home and will definitely give the Hornets another tough game. This one should go down to the wire like the previous three.

"Guess how good I am...Thiiiiiiiiiiiiiis much."

Having a great center is the key to many playoff victories. From the Spurs and Tim Duncan to Grizzlies and Marc Gasol every team needs a center that not only fits the system, but can contribute on the offensive end. It is no secret that Chris Paul wants to win a championship. He wants the talent around him to make a run and that isn’t there… Yet.

Some fans feel like Emeka Okafor has to leave because he is undersized and had difficulty against the Lakers bigs. I’m here to try to put things into perspective. Should we get rid of him for other options? What about drafting a replacement? Can he develop his offense? How did he really do in the playoffs? We look to analyze all these things and more.
