Is that right? If so, I'd like to think the Hornets will see a lot more national tv action next year. Then again... there's that whole "small market" thing.
Yeah, they have a couple of flexible games at the end of the year but it isnt like football and baseball where networks can pick up certain games every week. So based on the Hornets success and the growing popularity of Chris Paul I would expect the Hornets to have as many national games next year as most teams.
I haven't watched too much of Utah this season. Do they not have any shooters?? They can't seem to hit a jump shot to save their life.
They dont have any lights out guys from three but have a ton of high percentage mid-range and in type of guys. They are bangers and play hard and smart.
Lately we are either on fire or nothing. Past 2 games on the road were that way. Still liked seeing them do all the dirty work and if the shot fall next game I like the chances of stealing one in Game 2. Offensive boards killed the Lakers scoring spurts.
Man, it was so frustrating to watch. They rebounded great, then would take these mid-range jumpshots and not one would fall. If they had made a few of those, this game would have gone very differently.
Your right it was hard to watch all those open shots not drop. Everyone can make those shots and they usually do so at home. One the road it has been hit or miss. Boozer can usually knock down the shot at the top of the key but has not shown it at all in the playoffs. Shooting 38% and still in it at the end let me take something positive from the game. The Jazz may be down in a game or in a series but you can never settle down because they will usually make a comeback even if they are shooting poorly.
I bet Celtic fans almost had a heart attack over this series. I figured they would pull through, but it kinda proves the Celtics are not accustomed to a physical game like that.
How many FTs did Kobe Bryant shoot in the game? I hope they were all legit and not "MVP" calls. Not that he needed to but I can remember several times when Michael Jordan would take 4-5 steps and not be called for walking. This is America where it's great to be a star.
Lebron James gets those same calls and he hasnt won any MVPs or Championships. He gets away with a few walks as well. The Boston-Cleveland series will be interesting.
