    hollinger predicts us 8th and new orleans 1st in the west. that is the best matchup we could have. they have zero playoff experience other than peja, bu he is as soft as church music. we would sweep them or win in 5 games. then we get the 4-5 winner. we will be stoked with confidence and will win that as well. adelman has us positioned perfectly to make a long and very successful run. great job by the coaching staff.

    Right. They're the #1 seed. That means they're a pushover.

    denniscd, are you on Adelman's payroll?

    LOLOLOL. Ok, this must some kind of Andy Kaufman/Tony Clifton gag.

    Credit to Adelman for positioning us in the 8th seed so that we'll play NO? That was his plan since the season started? He predicted that NO will be the top seed (which still has a long way to go to come true) and has us 'struggling' so that we'll barely make the playoffs huh? Who's behind all this?

    OH OK. we know how well predictions have gone on this board.

    ppl predict we would beat the jazz last yr. ppl predicted we would be top 4 this yr.

    let it play out. i don't think we are worst than any team. if we hit our peak in april, no team scare us.

    The Hornets are not a better team than us, the Suns, the Spurs or the Mavs. I'll take that Round 1 match up any day!

    that is right...we want that matchup...the playoffs are all about matchups and adjustments...and we have the a(delman) train on our side so we have a decided advantage almost every game.

    Hornets lost to Warriors tonight. I think they are the no.2 now in WC.

    Hornets will be no. 3-5 seed by the end of this season, and the rockets will be no. 5-8 seed.

    i want the hornets...we will sweep or win in 5. adelman will have the troops ready for anything. novak, landry, brooks, scola will be the key. adelman has developed a great top of the line bench...great job rick and thanks for coming to houston

    My bad, we beat them at the end of 2007. Our record against New Orleans is 2-6 since 2005. Yeah I'd love to see them in the playoffs.

    We beat them last season. Actually, we closed their playoff door. I remember Paul cried.

    I'll take *any* matchup in the post season. That would mean we made the post season which isn't a given.
