Game 7

[Sapper]

Keys to winning;

Crash the boards aggressively 

Sit Batum and let Lin and Lee guard Wade

Give Deng open looks in the 4th for fast breaks

Last night's game was full of bad nights from so many guys on the roster the fact that it was so competitive left me encouraged for tomorrow.

Playing with house money is where this team seems to thrive anyway.

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?!?

We have to take s chance in the 4th for a shot

I am worried about the start time.  Correct me if I am wrong but it seems that we have been spanked early in afternoon games.

You're right unfortunately

I'm still sleeping on this though.  I have more of an empty feeling now than a bad one.

We have zero chance to win.  Last night was game 7 for all intents and purposes.  This game feels more like an exhibition with a predetermined outcome.

SC anchors think Frank knocks down the series winner

[t96]

We're gonna win. Period.

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'm getting mixed vibes on this, I like your post though thomas

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.

Forgot this game was at 1, guess I'll miss the first half. Going to see Keanu.

There's really no telling which Hornets team will show up.
