there is a better chance of dave gettleman completing a marathon than charlotte winning game 7..we had our chance to close it last night and everyone besides Kemba choked

also, why would a key to winning be giving deng open looks when he has been on fire this entire series?!?

I see this going one of two ways:

Pessimistic View: We have a hangover effect from Game 6 and come out flat. Miami is hot again and starts hitting their shots. We try to compete but can never pull it close.

Optimistic View: We come out determined and locked in after lousy showing in Game 6. We realize that we played poorly, minus Kemba, and still came close. This gives us hope that we can close the series out if we can get more out of guys like a Lin or Marvin.

I wish I had a better feeling about this.  I can't help but think back to 2001 when we had the series won at home in game 6, gave that game away, and got bounced in game 7 on the road.

I know this isn't that team of course, but I wonder where the mentality of these guys is.  The announcers during game six said it best, that Charlotte would need to bring everything they had to win that game, and couldn't rely on the home court/crowd just carrying them to the win.

Now backs are against the wall, and maybe our inexperienced team will thrive off of that.  Either way, it's the biggest game the Hornets have played in 14 years, so I'll try to enjoy the moment regardless.

      I've just seen enough highly touted prospects who pretty much everyone was high on end up busting to assume anything.

      Maybe, but a player can also bust for a lot of reasons.  And I'm not about to go look up the stats of all the 1st round WR busts, but I'd be surprised if they had the sustained output and success in college that T-Mac had.  Those early WR busts are usually guys who had one breakout season and then were highly drafted because of physical potential, not already built out ability. I'm not even saying T-Mac is 100% going to have a better career than Chark (although I obviously think he will). I'm just saying that right now, his skill level and ability is better than Chark's ever was, and I don't understand how anyone is arguing against that, not because of T-Mac, but because of who Chark himself was.   If you want to take the argument that you can't say ANY player who hasn't played a down yet can't be considered better than someone who has, then so be it (even though I'd say that's a dumb stance anyways). At his peak ability, Chark was more like a #3 WR than anything else, he was the definition of a league average WR.  If you don't think a Top 10 selected WR with his tape is better than that just because they haven't played in the NFL yet, then you're just stuck on the "he hasn't played a down yet" idea and can't evaluate them as players and abilities.

      And you would've probably said the same thing about a lot of highly drafted WRs who busted.
