Gregg Popovich has outlined a new gameplan he says will help the San Antonio Spurs take the lead in their series with the Hornets as it heads back to New Orleans tonight. That innovative gameplan is to actually try on the road, something no team has really done during the second round so far. He came up with the plan after many sleepless nights of studying classic basketball strategy books and reviewing game footage.

It's unknown how this will play out in the game tonight, but other coaches around the league are skeptical. "He wants to actually give 100% on the road?" said Celtics head coach Doc Rivers. "This is basketball we're playing here, not crazyball. If he wants to embarrass himself and his team by trying something like that, go ahead. We're not going to look silly on TV by actually trying and then losing a game to a lesser team without any excuses. We're going to claim the home crowd fires us up and makes us play on another level, and let Lebron do whatever he wants in Cleveland in the meantime. We're going to ride that excuse all the way into the Finals, the way it should be."

The Boston Celtics paced around the locker room after the game confused and bewildered. They did not know what had just happened out there on the court. The scoreboard said Bobcats 95, Celtics 83, but the team didn't understand how someone could end up with more points than them. Boston had been 29-3 up to that point in the season. It was then that Doc Rivers came into the locker room with a solemn look on his face. The following is a transcript what happened next.

"Alright boys, have a seat. We need to have a little talk." -Doc Rivers

"A talk about what, coach?" -Ray Allen

"About what you guys saw out there. I know there's a lot you don't understand right now. You see, when a boy bee and a girl bird love each other very much, they sometimes decide they want to play what's called a basketball game." -Doc Rivers

"A basketball game! Ew!" -Paul Pierce

"Girl birds have cooties!" -Kevin Garnett

"That's why you have to make the bird get a test before you play the game, there are a lot of dangerous cooties out there. When playing against a bird you know to have played basketball with a lot of different people, we'll call her a veteran, make sure to wear a protective arm sleeve. This helps against the cooties." -Doc Rivers

"How does this explain tonight coach?" -Ray Allen

"I'm getting to it! Now, when that girl bird is playing defense, sometimes she'll run a Box And 1 defense. The bee will attempt to break through her box and get his stinger and the ball into the hoop." -Doc Rivers

"Yuck! I'm not going to sting a ...girl!"- Kevin Garnett

"Trust me boys, you will want to when the time is right. But my point is this, sometimes the bird actually plays good defense, and you get rejected on a drive to the lane. Then you have to back off and call a new play, or she might call arena security. Sometimes her defense is so good, she rejects you all game and you end up scoring more points than her. This is what's called a loss." -Doc Rivers

"A loss? Why would we ever want to have one of those?" -Ray Allen

I know. You guys are very young, and I didn't think you'd be exposed to one of these losses until the conference championship against Detroit. But, it happened, so now you know. Sometimes these things are going to happen. Not often, as we are in the Eastern Conference, which has some of the loosest legs in all of pro sports. But it will happen." -Doc Rivers

I'm glad we had this talk coach." -Paul Pierce

"Me too boys. Me too." -Doc Rivers
