Comments on: PG’s in Their First Playoff Games http://atthehive.wordpress.com/2008/04/17/pgs-in-their-first-playoff-games/ CP3 for MVP!

I think we can expect CP to perform above board here. He's an MVP contender for a reason. He's not going to just lie down and die because it is the playoffs. Especially against a guard who has been ineffectual all season (in NJ, All-Star game, and Dal), until the final game, where, let's just say the Hornets effort was...suspect. Also, it's interesting that CP is the only starter (and Bonzi, Pargo, and Ely off the bench have it) without playoff experience. Yet all we here is that okay, okay, but these guys have never played together. Yet no one talks about this for the Celtics. These guys have never played together in the postseason. Ever. And I don't think Rondo or Perkins have played in the NBA postseason. But what? They're better coached? Doubtful. They have a better record? Barely (they finished 1 seed, Bees 2 seed). I expect both CP and the Hornets to come out hot Saturday and play like the team they've been all year long. Intersting stats. I think we can expect CP to perform above board here.
