How sad is it that I'll be setting my alarm to make sure I get up in time for a basketball game at 11 AM? Damn you, Friday nights!

That is definitely a terrible start time.

And 8:30 is just as bad. NBA does not like showing us at regular hours.

This'll be toughest the game of the series. We've done a great job at playing physical and really bullying them in the paint, hopefully that keeps up on the road.

And how **** awesome is this pic from game 2, btw.

Hornets will come out to play. All we need to do is keep it in the single digits by 4th quarter. I expect Chris Paul to live on the ft line.

When it comes to defending Paul, the key is having several players who not only don’t fear guarding him, but embrace it, Karl said. In Denver’s case, there are three in Dahntay Jones, Anthony Carter and Chauncey Billups.
“Not many guys get fired up to cover” Paul, Karl said. “Dahntay gets fired up to cover him, A.C. gets fired up to cover him and Chauncey wants his piece of him, too. So I’ve got three guys that want to cover him, rather than have that fear of covering him. And they know they all don’t have to play 35 minutes on him. They’re only going to play 15 or 20.”

WAKE UP GUYS! ITS GAME TIME!

Shot selection, poor defense will get us in trouble in the second half.

That´s being so far the worst NBA game that i see Nene playing, he´s never played so bad... It´s frustrating watch.

Free throw shooting will cost us a game.

11 missed free throws is completely ridiculous

Billups, Melo and JR combined for 18-48
They need to step it up

Poor, poor game. Can't play like that in the playoffs. FT's, JR/Nene complete non-factors are unacceptable. That being said, NO escaped with a do-or-die home win, much like Utah did. Take care of business in Game 4, and it's no sweat.

Chauncey will make sure we forget this one immediately, and get ready for Game 4.
