Charlotte Hornets, Miami Heat, Jeremy Lin, Kemba Walker and More About THE Game 7
The Charlotte Hornets have a game 7 showdown with the Miami Heat. Kemba Walker can’t do this alone, although the Heat would love him to try. Jeremy Lin, good or bad ankle, needs to be the guy from games 3-4-5. Steve Clifford needs to be on top of everything. All the known clichés. Dwyane Wade and his group might be formidable, but they’re far from unbeatable, even at this point.

Jeremy Lin Injured, Kemba Walker Scoring Not Enough, Charlotte Hornets in Trouble
Tweaking his ankle in the previous game made Jeremy Lin ineffective against the Miami Heat in game 6 and might be the thing that keeps the Charlotte Hornets from winning the series following their 97-90 loss, tying the series at 3-3.

Miami Heat Scared of Jeremy Lin, Charlotte Hornets Have to Finish the Job
The amount of complaining we’ve been hearing from Miami Heat players and especially Hassan Whiteside over the last few days means one thing: The Charlotte Hornets and mostly Jeremy Lin have gotten in his, and other players’ head. As game 6 approaches, it shows just how much this series has changed.

After losing the first two games , the Charlotte Hornets storm back and take control with the first road win in their series with the Miami Heat.

Heat @ Hornets, Game 4: Jeremy Lin, More Jeremy Lin and Maybe a Little Bit of Everything Else
The Charlotte Hornets need to remember what got them the win in the previous game as they head into game 4: Not Michael Jordan and Patrick Ewing telling Steve Clifford to play Frank Kaminsky in a way he never thought of, but Jeremy Lin being confident enough to make the most of his minutes, and get enough touches to influence the game in a way no one else on the team can.

Jeremy Lin Delivers, Frank Kaminsky Surprises, Charlotte Hornets Hopeful
Finally, the Miami Heat – Charlotte Hornets series turned into a two sided affair. Steve Clifford gets creative only when forced too, resulting in Frank Kaminsky playing big minutes and surprising everyone by stepping up, the defense finally showing up, Jeremy Lin being huge off the bench and Kemba Walker simply not stepping up to the occasion as the Hornets take game 3, winning 96-80.

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? Kemba Walker scored meaningless points, Jeremy Lin had a difficult to define game, but overall, the Heat keep having their way on both ends of the floor, comfortably rolling towards what should be a place in the conference semifinals.

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.
