I'll say this too, I'm not holding my breath for this series. How the teams play isn't relevant. David Stern won't allow the Lakers to lose in Round 1.
If the Hornets do somehow challenge the Lakers, it won't matter. David Stern would never allow the Lakers to lose in the first round. That's all I'm saying.
I would think I've already made it VERY clear that I don't think the Hornets will compete in this series.
