Game Thread: Charlotte Bobcats at Miami Heat Thread

[MHSL82]

This thread is for all game threads, articles, videos, comments, etc. on the Charlotte Bobcats at Miami Heat series. I doubt there will be enough discussion in any one game to warrant individual games. This website has a timestamp, so it'll be easy to tell what game we're talking about.

Next year, they will be the Hornets again.

I always hate injuries. I hate them a little less if they're my opponent, but I dislike them in general. At the very least, I want the starters to play so that I can see the stats on these guys. Obviously, when there's an injury there is some intrigue in the stats of the replacement players, but I don't like injuries in general. I like seeing streaks and I like seeing big sample sizes. I don't like an injury breaking that up and I don't like a player having a place of injuries that are significant. Most if not all players played some type of injury in their career, maybe even every year. I am mostly talking about significant ones.

Yeah. If someone can't play, then it's significant.

If they can play through it, but are limited, then oh well, it still counts.

McRoberts is already starting, and playing a lot of minutes, so I don't think Charlotte can go to him any more then they've already used him.

Here's a bit of Charlotte history. During the 2003 playoffs, the then Charlotte Hornets had Mashburn, who was injured. Philly lead 3-1 in the series.

Mashburn then played in game 4. The opposing team didn't know he was going to play, nor did the media. Everyone was surprised when his name was announced in the starting lineups.

He then helped the Hornets win this elimination game.

Can Jefferson rekindle this magic, unexpectedly play?

Kemba Walker's game 4 showed he's had a better game than Williams too, in this year's playoffs.

2 steals, 3 blocks? WOW.

I know, Tinsley had a 5 assist, 5 steal, 5 block, 5+ points, 5+ rebound game before. As a PG. Nothing can compare to that, but this is pretty good.
