    That's hedging. You're basically saying the Hornets are just as good (if not better) as the Heat since they're taking it 7 games.

    Bleacher Report makes bold prediction that Charlotte will reach Eastern Conference Finals.

    Kemba will be the X factor. He can be a top 10 player in the league but sometimes he stinks harder than Lin's worst nights

    Let's see if another Houston's ex-PG can play better than the other one yesterday... :)

    Spoelstra proving to me right now that he's a better coach than I thought. He's really done a great job this season, especially given Bosh has been out. Their offense looks great, and they're dismantling a great defensive team in Charlotte right now.

    Is there a team in the NBA most people care about or discuss less than the Hornets?

    Was it easier for him post that prediction or for you to quote him after the game was already decided?

    I think this game shows the difference playoff experience can make, for both players and coaches. I don't think the Hornets will win, but I'm betting they'll bounce back and at least make this a series.
