    I have to admit before the season started I didn't even include them in the playoff picture in the West. They're 4-0 and currently beating the Heat in the 4th quarter.

    Do you guys think they are legit this year or is this just a little streak that will start to decline soon?

    chris paul has been the best player in the L so far. if he keeps playing like this, the hornets are for real. they are still not championship contenders b/c paul still does too much.

    but man, this guy is too damn good.

    I think Okafor has returned to form and they have their own little Big 3 now. Last year Okafor prbly had his worst season but he's really been bringing it on both sides of the ball.

    I REALLY wouldn't have minded Okafer in the middle for the Rox but that contract is stinky...unless he keeps playing like he is tonight.

    Chris Paul just delivered a deadly crossover to James Jones and made him fall.

    But the refs called charge when he drove to the basket and made it. If they called it a blocking foul that would have been devastating for Miami.

    everthing possible has gone right for them, everything that could go wrong for us has..

    from here the hornets can only go down and we can only go up.

    **** the hornets.

    that was an easy charge to call. not many players are around to confuse the refs.

    Did Ariza really just seal the game with that three?

    lebron and wade been spliiting duties in terms of offense in the 4th. wade has bellinelli on him and should terrorize him. lebron always has the better defender on him, but he got to the rim the last 2 possessions but the play was called for wade.

    Yup.

    If you have a premier playmaking point guard, every player around him plays more bold and confident...

    chuckle* pass to Bosh for 3... That is exactly what E. Spol drew up? Nice pass and shot though.

    The only good thing about this is that it makes the Rockets 4 losses sting less since 3 of the 4 were against good teams.

    The bad news is that all 3 are in the western conference and are competing with Houston.

    Maybe we should ask: Is the heat for real?

    Bosh is a very good jump shooter, and it was wide open from the top of the key. Good decision by LeBron.
