Hive Drive ~ Game 4

Pretty lame, now all my predictions have come to naught. The series is tied 2-2, and all of a sudden there is a pretty big chance that we might actually lose. The defending champs definitely did not play like this in New Orleans, let’s hope that doesn’t change for Game 5. Still, one good thing [...]

The Hive Five: Game Ninety-One

Sigh.

“Guide us, O Great Leader.”

First and foremost, don’t bring any referee complaints into this one. We got outperformed in every possible manner. Rebounding? Check. Tim Duncan very nearly outrebounded our starters by himself. Turnovers? Check. Chris Paul forced and forced and forced (uncharacteristically). Aggressiveness? Check. The Spurs went to the line twice as often [...]

The Hive Five: Game Ninety

They’re four time champs for a reason.

“Est-ce qu’ils parlent le français à La Nouvelle-Orléans?”
“Uhhhh…”

It was our second straight Game 3 loss on the road. But unlike in Dallas, we executed well until the very end. Honestly, I can’t complain much about the Hornets’ effort at all. Tip your hat to Tony Parker for [...]

Hive Drive ~ Game 2

Another extremely well-executed third quarter surge for the Hornets which resulted in another Hornets blowout in the end. Wow, playing like this, everyone hitting shots, crowd going wild, the only wildcard left is how the Hornets play in San Antonio. My prediction, same as the Mavs series, we’ll lose Game 3 or 4, and then [...]

Hive Drive ~ Game 1

Well, I caught the game on TNT, and unfortunately I have to say I never saw as many Peja heads, or “Serb-sickles” as expected; all I got were a few fleeting glimpses of them running around after a Predrag triple. But instead of drowning you in my despair about the lack of coverage the Peja [...]
