It is apparent, even with one hour left before tip-off, that the Trail Blazers point guards are going to come out firing tonight.

Jarrett Jack, Steve Blake and Sergio Rodriguez have been firing up three-pointers, isolating on the base line, and attacking the paint. By my unofficial count, Jarrett Jack is shooting around 80% from both corners.

Sergio Rodriguez looks even faster when he's blowing by Assistant Coach Monty Williams.

One of the biggest keys to tonight's game is the Trail Blazers ability to contain CP3 aka Chris Paul. If Jack, Blake, Sergio and Taureen Green can play strong enough man defense, the Hornets won't be able to free up their lethal outside shooters. Although he is deadly when given space, Hornets sharp-shooter Peja Stojakovic is not known for creating his own shot.
