Well they found their hero...Jannero Pargo. 
And with that said, he missed the wide open corner three to tie that would have given them the real shot. He chokes, Parker hits, and that is likely going to be enough. Course when you get down to the point where you are having tro rely on Jannero Peargo to carry you home ion a Game 7, that's kind of an inevitable result.

I don't know really -- Byron has an unhealthy fascination with Pargo, who has some scoring ability, but is just a blown up scrub. But in this one he was literally the only guy doing anything for the Hornets, and at some point either he or Byron just said screw it, I am taking evry shingle shot. I don't think he made one smart play in the entire 4th quarter, whther it was a make or a miss, but since he was virtually the only one making ANY plays, they rode him up, and then rode him right back down.
That was just nuts. I ca't believe Jannero Pargo was the only one taking shots down the stretch. I think Pargo took all but four or six shots in the fourth quarter. No David West to speak of. No Chris Paul. No Peja. MoPete stuck to the bench with Bonzi. No pick and roll. Just Pargo, one on one. Doing dumb thing after dumb thing, some of them working, which only served to spur him on further to do another dumb thing the next time down.
You have to place this loss on two people: Byron Scott and Chris Paul. If I'm Chris Paul, Pargo isn't taking all those shots and dominating the ball. If I'm Byron Scott, Pargo isn't on the floor. I know he had something like 16 points in the fourth quarter, but he lost them the game.
In Game 7 at home against the defending champs, you don't ride Pargo till the wheels fall off.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I wanna see L.A. rape this team. Absolutely hate the Spurs.
But what a terrible performance by NO...unbelievably bad. How can West play like absolute garbage ? Paul wasn't his usual self, and Peja was invisible. I'm not sure what happened, but that was not the Hornets. Shame really, would have been refreshing to see those damn Spurs out for once.

I'll be rooting for Spurs over Lakers, of course. Turns out, Slim was absolutely right earlier in the thread - Spurs have the best chance of stopping LAL and Hornets will just have to learn their lesson.
On a side note, I really enjoyed C-Webb chewing out Berkley when he dared to suggest that this LAL team is better then Kobe-Shaq team. Really stopped Chuckster in his tracks then have him back-track all the way. Sweet.
