Man, they just showed a replay of Finley's final shot. If you're learning how to set a pick, I don't think I've seen a better one than the one TD set for the play.
There is that, but I seriously doubt they'd lay down for a division opponent, even if it got them some rest; they are going to want to make a statement that they deserve the second seed and that we are an 'also-ran'
Remember how good New Orleans is in close games though. They, like us, seem to be able to eek out the close ones. Sure, San Antonio has the momentum, but Paul seems to be able to will his team to victories in close games. Hornets have this one. ( I feel like I am pulling a Kingspeed....hehe)
