reNew Orleans
Clubbin' with Rasual Butler
Alright, I've seen the line drop 1.5 pts already and maybe it'll keep dropping, who knows but I am on my boys.
1) We were EMBARRASSED by the Warriors the last time they came. We want revenge and the playoff race is anything but over.
2) We played awful vs the Knicks. We've gotta step it up this game and the team knows that. The home winning streak is up to 10 games and we definitely want to keep it rolling. The 4th quarter has been ours at home for a long time, thats when we just explode and usually our defense become stifling.
3) Home court has been amazing now, we have sellout turnouts, there's no way the team leaves now. The Hornets have a connection with this city, it feeds off it, I don't know how to describe it, this is a Saints-esqe season basically and we've been pretty unbelievable in general for the last couple of months.
4) National Television - period, we don't get much coverage but tomorrow is going to be all about CP3 for MVP, bobble heads, free CP3 4 MVP shirts, I even think they are trying a blackout with the fans, not sure its going to work but thats what the shirts are apparently for. This just shows this is one of the biggest games for the year for us.
5) Warriors don't play D, they can be a mismatch for anyone, especially Monta for us in particular because no one on our team can really guard him and Tyson is slow to rotate inside often, he needs to play with more intensity. Baron will get booed every possesion but he showed us up last time and obviously thrives off it but if the game gets physical, and you will certainly see at some point, that will build to our advantage. The booing want only be fore Monta, but if there's one call deemed awful by the Hornets fans, its booing for the rest of the game and it gets raucous from that point on. It's something I've never seen before.
6) The addition of Bonzi Wells has been big for us. He provides a defeneder we didn't have last time. He and Juju give us some athleticism that can keep up with the warriors. The birdman has slowly been integrating into the team, and if we get up enough he provides precious time for Tyson to get some rest. Pargo can thrive in this type of game as well. It appears we've gone with Hilton now, not to crazy about him but he's matured and can provide some decent minutes off the bench.
Basically we are a much different team from our last meeting.
I'm not sure if I should wait and lock this in the morning or now but I think I'll risk waiting. I can't see it breaking 6.5 and I like that #. I expect we may see a 5.5. I would probably take it up its opener at 7.5, but smaller bet in that case.
And....
