The game is still going on right now.  TIVO isn’t recording.  I’m […]

A poor start and a poor finish for the Hornets in Game 3, but they were able to do enough in between to ensure victory and get back in the series. The Nuggets unloaded a 10-0 run out of the gate, leaving all of us at the New Orleans Arena standing and scratching our heads. […]
