We won't do the same as in the last game. No 4th quarter letdown this time. And the game is in Boston.

By the way, you're the only team in the league we haven't beaten this year. And this was because of that "turnover game".

If Peja starts shooting 3's like yesterday, Hornets have a great chance to win that match. Why? Because that way Peja provides space for CP3 and West to do serious damage inside. Go Hornets!

I watched a lot of the C's/ Suns game the other day and Boston really pulled away in the third, PHX had no answer after that. Rondo was finishing around the basket really well and KG kinda took over down the stretch.

I think Perkins can be their weakness if we get him running after Chandler all game, I think he is liable to give up some easy hoops under pressure. Apart from that though they are very strong, and their bench is dangerous.

Should be a great game with both teams having a day or two rest. Fingers crossed, this W would put us on the map, so to speak.

But he won't be shooting them. Why? Because the Celtics have the best defense and allow the lowest 3PT percentage in the league.

The celtics lost, get over it, they could win tonight, but they aren't infallible.

true indeed. this very well could be a loss for us, D West killed us last time!!! I dont expect Paul to play like he did last game,in fact I expect him to be even more energized because he is going to want revenge... Good luck tonight...

Win or Lose the Hornets are a respectable team. I didn't realize until the last game just how good David West is. C's will really want to win this one though. Since the Hornets are the only team they haven't beaten this season.

I don't expect a 4th quarter meltdown from the Celtics same as I don't expect ticky-tacky BS fouls on Chris Paul to slow the Hornets down (and require a 4th quarter push to win the game).

It goes both ways, Celtics homers.

Geaux Hornets! :clap:

Maybe they'll go after West this time. The one that hurt them the most last game.

^^ I laugh at Joe Smith everytime I see that. Even after their coach told them to 'stay home', he still left West to go help on Paul. :lol:

Good luck in grabbing the top spot in the West. I'd like to see a Hornets/Nuggets series.

2poor · Post #17 » by **2poor** » Fri Mar 28, 2008 4:57 pm

Still a long ways to go, homecourt advantage would be good enough for me.

David "the 17 foot assassin" West's numbers in his last 10:

26ppg

The Hornets haven't been to the playoffs since 2004. Paul has yet to make a postseason appearance and the Hornets don't have the playoff experience that most of the Western Conference contenders have, but he remains confident.

"Every game we go out I feel like we're supposed to win," he said. "Twenty-one losses are too many, if you ask me, and that's the way it's always been. I feel like every night when we go out, if we do what we're supposed to, we're supposed to win.

"[Teams] may [respect us]. They may not. It really doesn't matter. In this league, it doesn't matter who you play on any given night. We're all professionals. You never know who's going to win."
