Yep. I was hoping we wouldn't come out like Atlanta did last night. That was my biggest fear heading into this game.

Hassan also defending Al in the post much better.

Now that he's focused on his career, it's amazing how quickly he learns and adjusts. I'm sure Al still has some tricks up his sleeve, but Whiteside making go deeper into his bag of tricks is a good sign.

Miami just shot like shit in the 2nd quarter on the road of an NBA Playoffs game. Only got outscored by 4.

They could easily be down 15 instead of 5 considering how poorly they played in that quarter.

I'll take it

Buzz City? WTF? I know Berkeley and even Miami are known for their good drugs, but Charlotte?

Someone needs to tie Lin to a chair and shave his head.

I think the nickname is stupid, but its quite obvious what they are good for...and it has nothing to do with drugs.

My apologies in advance, if you were being dense on purpose. Its hard to detect it on the internet at times.

3rd quarter collapse.

Can't win them all.

Frank the tank and Linsanity will not have another game like this during this series.

Heat will move on to the next round.

Nope. The Heat board is falling apart right now. Those idiots really thought we would sweep.

Batum being out for the rest of the series, basically guarantees that Miami wins in 5 or 6. Think if Batum was playing, Hornets had the potential of making it interesting.

Do you expect to keep him?

That was a hell of a trade to get him and I would love to see the Hornets with a healthy Batum and MKG.

The Hornets are not a scrub team.

Hell, OKC dropped one to Dallas on their home court.

So, it shouldn't be surprising that a Team like Charlotte would win at least one.

I tried to explain that. They're hardheaded. You would think the sky is falling

only 7 guys on the Heat played double digit minutes. IT doesnt look like Spoestra trusts his bench very much. The two bench players he does trust are both rookies. Not surprising they struggled in their first playoff game on the road. Winslow and Richardson go a combined 2 for 12 and 0/7 from three and made only 2 of 6 free throws. Rookie road jitters? Sure looks like it.


Horntes shoot 39% from the field and win in a blowout? Cant say you see that kind of thing very often.
