TWolves-Hornets: Western Conference Finals Preview

[Pelicans78]

Two heavyweights tonight on a Friday night. Can't beat that. I like Austin Rivers with a 25 point night, Robin Lopez with 20 rebounds and Al-Farouq Aminu hitting at least 7 threes. Great game to be honest.

I'm in the arena now. Electric pregame atmosphere as the players are warming up. Feels like a playoff game is about to go down. Hornets are at an .800 winning mark with Gordon in the lineup, that's the best in the league.

[Pelicans78]

This game has sucked so far.

This game has sucked so far.

The Hornets played down to their competition in the 1st half. They finally got serious and turned it on at the end of the 2nd quarter to cut the lead to 6. I expect them to take the lead quickly in the 3rd and then pull away comfortably.

[Darth_Pelican]

Damn this T-Wolves team is gritty. The Hornets only outscored them by 15 in the 3rd. I was expecting the Hornets to have this one wrapped up by now, but they are only up 9 going into the 4th.

Davis with 0 rebounds?

Davis with 0 rebounds?

Yes, that's the only reason this game is still close. These 19 year old kids need to realize that you have to show up to play every game, even against scrub teams like the Wolves.

[Pelicans78]

These refs are terrible too. TWolves have way more FTs. They're getting so many calls. Ridiculous.

[Pelicans78]

Good win. Double digit victory despite the vast difference in FT shooting.

Vasquez, Smith, and Aminu were great.

I thought Davis was a bit soft tonight.

[Darth_Pelican]

Good game, predictable outcome. I thought the T-wolves played as well as they could have, and the Hornets thought they could just show up and win against an inferior opponent, as evidenced by the beginning of the game. Also, Davis needs to realize that you have to show up and play every single game, or you will embarrass yourself with your box score. Those 2 things were the reason that the Hornets were only able to win by 12 points. Still though, at the end of the day we will take the W and improve to 5-1 and a .833 winning clip at full strength, best in the Association. Looking forward to a big game in MSG on Sunday.

[Pelicans78]

I wish we could get rid of Austin Rivers. He's the worst player in the league.

This shit should have been on ESPN.
