| Live at the Hive - Game 7: Hornets fall at home 91-82, season over »
Okay, I understand, the NBA wanted its biggest draw (LeBron) and its most historic and winning franchise (the Celtics) for a Game 7 on Sunday - and it was a classic. But why have the Celts played two games since the Hornets last played? Why did the Hornets and Spurs get three full days off? After having three days off, why will the Hornets or Spurs be forced to rush to L.A. to play Wednesday after what figures to be a draining Game 7. I know the answer is TV, but I don't understand the reasoning. You mean a doubleheader of Game 7's on Sunday wouldn't have drawn fans? You mean TNT's Law and Order Marathon Sunday night drew more viewers than a Hornets-Spurs Game 7 would have. I can't look a gift horse in the mouth, because David West certainly could use the extra time to heal. Now, this may have been explained somewhere, but when the media asked Byron Scott about it last week, prior to Game 6, he didn't know the reason. 3 CommentsLeave a comment |

I'm with ya on this one. The only plus side to this was the West injury, give him some time to get healthy until Horry tries to take him out again! But yea, a doubleheader on a Sunday with the winner of each game facing each other in the next round? Go figure, and all these young Hornets and Spurs will probably be in bed by the time the game ends. Not a good way to market your league Mr. NBA! Geaux HORNETS!!!
What baffled me was that there was no game on Saturday. But I've since heard an explanation (not necessarily a good one, but an explanation nonetheless) for that: The WNBA season tipped off on Saturday, and big-brother NBA didn't want to steal the limelight.
I told you FAN UP-FANS it took nine players to win. The bench gave no scoring, took paul out the game, and guess what--Saints fans, oops, I mean Hornets fans--WAIT TILL NEXT YEAR!
