Heat @ Hornets, Game 3: Jeremy Lin Starting, Kemba Walker Changing (???), Steve Clifford Inflexible
As the Charlotte Hornets enter game 3, which in most playoff series with a team down 2-0, is the one that tells us whether there’s any reason to keep watching. Nicolas Batum is out, Jeremy Lin will probably start. Does this mean that Steve Clifford will try something new against the Miami Heat? Hard to say knowing his opinions, and the fact that Kemba Walker remains the guy he thinks is going to win him this series.

Jeremy Lin Kinda Flat, Kemba Walker Changes Nothing, Steve Clifford Stupidly Stubborn, Hornets Need Miracle
The Miami Heat take a 2-0 lead over the Charlotte Hornets with a 115-103 win. Steve Clifford thought everything was fine, so why change things this time around?

Hornets @ Heat, Game 2: Jeremy Lin Waiting for Steve Clifford to Wake Up
Time to see what the Charlotte Hornets are made of or more accurately – if Steve Clifford watched and learned what he should from the first game against the Miami Heat. Less Kemba Walker, more Jeremy Lin, demand his defense to help in mismatches and yell at them to move the ball.

Handing the Sixth Man of the Year award to Jamal Crawoford for the third time in his career suggests the people voting for it haven’t been watching a lot of basketball this season. I’m not sure Jeremy Lin did enough to win it, but it probably should have gone to someone else.

NBA Playoffs – Golden State Warriors Confidence, Stephen Curry Ankles & Houston Rockets Opportunity
Heading into game 2 of the first round series between the Golden State Warriors and the Houston Rockets, the NBA champions have a decision to make: Trust the taping on Stephen Curry to keep his ankles from once again causing him problems, or giving the rest of the team a vote of confidence in their ability to handle the Houston Rockets in Curry’s absence.
