I would add Ben Gordon to that list as well, he has had like 35 points against the Wizards back in 05.

he actually dropped 30 in his first game. I remember that pretty well, he lit it up something awful, but 35/10 just has such a nice ring to it. They've been showing quite a few notable players first playoff games (MJ, wilt, oscar, magic) and it looks like Paul had the most impressive out of all them. Lebron and Oscar both had triple dips, and Lebrons statistically was pretty much the same as Chris', but damn, what a way to go out and show the world that your ready for the big time.

Preview for Game 2

I expect the Mavs to go at West and throw the kitchen sink at CP3.

Awww, that's too bad. I'm hoping for the best too. It'll be important for the Hornets to get off to a good start tonight. The crowd is usually a 'fashionably late' crowd even when the games start at 7 o'clock so it'll be interesting to see how they react to a 6pm weekday game.

I want to see CP go straight at the Mavs from the very start of this game.They've not shown that they can guard him and so far noone else has shown that they want to hit shots.I understand that he likes to get everyone else involved,but he's the best scorer this team has and he has a big advantage over anyone the Mavericks put on him.

Great game by the Hornets.I don't think I could think of anyone who didn't play pretty well tonight.CP would have had a real masterpiece if not for that stretch in the third where he had all three of his turnovers within a couple of minutes...Not much to criticize in his performance all the same.

You wonder if the Hornets may have really demoralized the Mavericks.They need at least a split from the two in Dallas,so the friday game would be really nice to make sure you get one.A sweep should be their objective,especially since the Spurs-Suns series has the look of a long series.

Great game indeed. The Hornets' game just seemed to click tonight.

Looks like the Mavs are going to get this one tonight. I'm baffled as to how every Hornet player isn't fouled out the way the Mavs have stayed on the line tonight. And every time the Hornets get within 7 or 9, a silly foul is called. Hornets need to win game 4 and take it home and win game 5 to end this. Pargo looks like the only Hornet that came to play tonight.

I'm not really that upset with this one.CP shot horribly,but he didn't play that poorly.West shot horribly and didn't play very good defense.Peja wasn't on and they didn't get anything out of anyone except Pargo.They still stayed in the game even though Dallas kept hitting jumpers and the refs called the Hornets every time they got near the Mavs...38 free throw attempts and at least a third of them were bogus IMO.Nowitzki cleared out with his right arm every single time he drove to the basket and they never called it once.Instead they called fouls on half a dozen flops and called the exact same play the opposite way on the Hornets.Hornets can and should win Game 4 because there's no way West misses those shots two games in a row and CP is going to come back strong.Hopefully the refs won't be out to disrespect the hornets as completely as they did tonight.Dallas had everything go their way tonight and they didn't win convincingly.Hornets had everything against them and they didn't lose by much.

I guess the guy Kidd's guarding is still averaging over 30 per game in this series.Pargo had absolutely no trouble go around him,but it would have been a lot worse for them if it had been CP.He would have gotten a lot of easy scores for everyone else after he broke down the defense.
