My gut feeling...
Considering the short turnaround after a tough 7 game series requiring us to win 4 of 5 against a tough Hornets, including just finishing the game 7 on the road and getting stuck in the airport with no sleep till the following day, missing a practice day?
This one will be tough to pull out a win in. If we fall too far behind, look for Pop to concede earlier than you'd expect. He might think getting their legs and energy back for 6 games might be worth pulling early.
However, game 2 I think we will sell out trying to get.
Reason, you don't want to have to go 4 of 5 again against a more experienced and better prepared team this time.
With that said, maybe we come out charged from the last win and surprise them early, get them on their heels and steal game 1. Game 1 is usually the craziest, most unexpected game of the series. That's the time to get a steal of a win. After game 1, most of the adjustments are made and wins come harder to get.
I'm pulling for a surprise win, baby!
