Hornets coach Byron Scott said the San Antonio Spurs appear to playing better now than during most of the regular season, when they finished second to the New Orleans Hornets in the highly competitive Southwest Division, which had four 50-win teams. However I think coach Scott is in way over his head as The Hornets have the best player in the league in third-year point guard Chris Paul. He averaged more than 20 points and 10 assists this season and was even better in the first round, when he had 24.6 points and 12 assists per game. He made Jason Kidd look like a little kid trying to defend him in the last series.
