that joe johnson triple was nasty

 

[WiggyRuss]

Miami seems a lot tougher mentally.

 

[WiggyRuss]

def one of the better post season games thus far...

Damn good finish....

Best of 3. Charlotte is fun to watch and Clifford is a terrific coach. I didn't watch first half closely, but Winslow had 3-4 really good buckets in the 2nd half. He will continue to improve offensively.

He did nothing in the first 3 quarters but his aggressive play in the 4th was really good. Need to be that aggressive all the time.

One thing Barkley never lied about is how role players play better at home in the playoffs.

Charlotte will have to play how they did in Miami (offensively) if they want to win this series. The way they played on offense the last 2 games will not get it done in Miami.

I still think Miami win in 6 but we'll see

Yeah, I'm happy for Kemba and co.

Just goes to show that a guy can rely turn his career around if he's in the right situation.

Jeremy Lin has played well.

I don't see Charlotte winning this series.

But, a few of these guys have earned themselves a nice contract next Season.

+1

I just hope the rookies don't feel the pressure too much in a critical game 5. That's my only concern. I know Joe, Wade, Deng, and Hassan (once the thigh isn't hurt too much) will show up.

I not necessarily a huge fan of his ... but Jeremy Lin is fearless.

say what you will about the guy- he has played really well-- and has done that for pretty much the whole year. You could do a lot worse when looking for a creator off the bench that is for sure.

 

[bksballer89]

Critical missed call which would have gave Miami 2 fts late in the 4th to cut it to 1 with under 2 to go.

I'd take him as a backup.

Like Collision, he gets himself into trouble when Teams try to make him a leading man.

Better than Swaggy P?

Miami goes for a crazy 123, 115 at home and 80 and 85 on the road...now that is a HUGE contrast....

I don't think anyone expected Miami to score close to that in Charlotte even if they were able to win so its not surprising unless you're delusional

i certainly didnt expect them to score in the 110's or even in the 100's i guess..i dunno...im just saying thats a HUGE difference...you definitely expect a difference between home and away- but thats an average of like 35 pts a game...i think that bodes well for Miami as they have home court for the first 2 rounds at least. Im just curious as to why that difference is SOOOO freaking big.

after the first 2 games i expected that the Hornets would have to score in the 100's to win....i didnt think Miami would go crazy on the road- i just didnt expect them to score nearly 40 points less.
