SERIES WATCH
DEN 108 NO 93: Series 2-0 Denver; Chauncey had 31 points. They tried to put CP on him, and through the first half, it appeared the switch was at LEAST containing him; but just like the game before it, the 3rd quarter the Nuggets explode and blow the Hornets out.
There is OBVIOUS tension between the bloo devil Dahntay Jones of the Nuggets and Chris Paul. I don’t know exactly what the beef is, but I’m ON IT Triad!!! ON IT!
Chauncey is playing great basketball – clicking when he needs to; an older version of CP. Thing is, Hornets just don’t have enough scoring. Chris had 14 assists and 14 points – meaning he’s responsible for approx 45 of the Hornets 93 points. Chris needs to have 30 and 15 in order for them to win – that’s 60 points if the assists are just 2’s. Then you pray David West will give you 20, maybe Rasual Butler gives 10, Peja 10, Posey 8 and you have the 108 just to tie last night’s DEN score. Too much work on Chris – it’s just the first round.
What’s the difference from last years team, and why does it appear the Hornets are lack luster this year?
I think it’s because of the team they’re matched up with in the first round. The Nuggets are just better. David West was able to be effective against a slower Dirk in the first round last year. CP was CLEARLY better than an older Jason Kidd. David can’t play that slow game vs. Kenyon Martin; too active. Chauncey is playing some of the best ball of his career – even though CP is having average games himself, he’s gotta step it up.
