Feel Like It Is Time To Get Out The Broom

[OldNorthPowell]

I hate to say it but I think the Hornets are about to get swept. It is only fitting if your a Carolina sports fan and the NBA could be more popular if it had more parity. Always big markets winning and smaller markets mediocre at best. There are exceptions but very few unlike other sporting leagues. I am not saying the NBA is responsible for it I guess but this game 1 against the Heat was called in our favor and we still are getting whooped. We have no answer for Wade, Deng, and Whiteside.

No they wont.  They will win at least 2 in charlotte.  This was a complete fluke tonight.

I hope you are right but fear you are wrong.

If we adjust our mindset to actual playoff basketball and show up, we will win both in Charlotte and makes the series competitive.  We were among the best teams at home in the East this season.

Tonight was indicative of our team this whole year.  We can look really good like elite-level one night, then the next get blown out by 25.

It's all Whiteside in my opinion.  I knew going into this one that we had absolutely no answer for Whiteside, and boy did they prove me right.  As weird as it may sound, I believe our only trump card is if Linsanity shows up.  Kemba looked totally lost as to what was going on today.

It's just one game, but we need to find some energy and play some defense. 41 points in a quarter is inexcusable.

Well, Deng shot at 90% too. Wade is still Wade. And Winslow is fitting in nicely. Whiteside is only one piece of the puzzle... but he is a HUGE piece.

I felt like there were times the Hornets could have swayed some momentum in the game.  Yet every time they put up a decent defensive stand making the Heat throw up a shot, Whiteside would get the offensive rebound to give them another opportunity.

Shame on you Hornets organization.. Shame on you for forcing me into this position.. Shame on you for having to talk my son off the ledge by telling him the cliche that  "it's only one game.. it's best out of 7.. it doesn't matter if we lost by 1 or 100 - an L is an L.. now we need to just put this behind us and come out Wednesday prepared.."

Now he is hopeful we will come back and win the series.. I blame you Hornets..

lol after game two the ledge is going to be receiving your vote for most likely destination you would like to visit. I hope not but I feel it will be.

Sometimes your opponent just hits every shot. 

Most of those shots (particularly 3's) we contested. 

I'm not worried about that because they can't keep that up for the entire series.

Our terrible pick and roll D was the issue that needs to be fixed.

Good grief, people hopping off the bandwagon after one game. I can't imagine how some people handle life.

No way its a sweep.

This thread is pretty hilarious. Clifford got woefully outcoached, but it's just one game, it doesn't matter how many you lose by.
