Series Thread: 3) Miami Heat (48-34) vs 6) Charlotte Hornets (48-34)

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Batum should get a healthy raise.

Have the Hornets ever won a Playoff game? I mean this current franchise, not the one they had before that moved to New Orleans.

Now I don't watch games night in and night out consistently so my opinion isn't super credible but...

I've been saying for some time now if Heat didn't lose Bosh they would win the East. Since the All Star break its seems like they have really figured out how to play together. Ironically though this has been without Bosh. But I think adding him would obviously just help and not disrupt

Man fuck these refs

Bailout call after bailout call

Up by 30...still cries about the refs.

Not since they moved back to Charlotte. Swept by Orlando and Swept by Miami. I think before this year that was the only 2 times they made the playoffs since moving back from New Orleans

I wonder if Charlotte is going to lose Batum, Lin, and Al.

That would likely lead them back in the draft lottery next season

Heat have looked better against the #6 seed than the Cavs against #8. Doesn't mean much. Just an observation.

Yep key is game 2 though. That's the good thing for all these road teams. Doesn't matter how bad you lose game 1, if you can manage to win game 2 then you did your job.

Pat Riley deserves some accolades after being able to turn the Heat around so quickly after James left.

Detroit is going to give Cleveland some problems in their series.

Deng is looking pretty good right now.

Agree. Just making an observation.

I expected more from the Cavs since 23 was "activated" at "zero dark thirty" this morning.

If game 1 is any indication, they sure will.

Speaking of that I always find it funny how he must make that known instead of doing it without making it public

I think that meant he would spending majority of his time looking for teammates to actually step up before being a limited and crying on a plane ride back to akron

Drummond must be better and they need to find out what to do when Love goes to C because Drummond can't guard him at the 3 point line

He does it because Cavs fans swoon and think it's the coolest thing ever. No doubt Wiggy had to go rub one out when he saw that.

Yeah, SVG has his work cut out for him with that. One positive though is that they nearly won with Drummond looking lost and it's doubtful he plays that poorly all series.

I could not dream about a better start to this series.
