The San Antonio Spurs blew a golden chance to take game 5 against the New Orleans Hornets in the Western Conference semifinals. Nursing a small lead at halftime, the Spurs let Chris Paul and his cohorts take control of the game and subsequently the series. The Spurs looked like the inexperienced team coming out at halftime, by turning the ball over on consecutive plays, taking ill-timed shots, not fighting hard enough for rebounds and barely scoring double digits (11) in the 3rd quarter. Instead the Hornets, the younger and apparently inexperienced group, looked like the team poised to take control.
If the Spurs continue their lackadaisical and inconsistent play, they will most definitely find themselves watching the rest of the NBA playoffs, not on the sidelines, but in the comfort of their own living rooms.
