    Both teams suck azz. We could have got into WCF much easier. :(

    This Hornets team is terrible. They are not built for playoff at all.

    The nuggets are the only team with the horses to matchup with La.

    Every "expert" on ESPN and NBATV kept saying throughout the season, "This team is built for the playoffs." The Hornets would probably be competing for worst record in the league without Chris Paul.

    Who else thinks the same as me... T-Mac would be a perfect fit for New Orleans?

    they just might. they just depend on chris paul too much; it's ridiculous how much responsibilites a 6' guy has. he has to do EVERYTHING for that team; i feel bad for the guy. so i won't be surprised if they're out to get another playmaker.

    who you think they trade us for? peja + who?

    No. They don't have enough to match up with the Lakers. Don't let this series mislead you. Playing the Honey Bees was a first round bye.

    New Orleans is pathetic. I mean not only did you get your ass whooped this whole series on the scoreboard but like the TNT guys said you let the Nuggets beat up on your Point Guard the whole damn series without doing anything about it. Tyson Cleotis Chandler was about the only one to try to do something about it but he didn't play tonight and he basically just picked up stupid fouls.

    Embarrassing.

    New Orleans Hornets -= A bunch of frauds

    Yeah but...We don't really need no one from their crappy team. Only players worth anything on that team are Posey... eh i'll pass we haev enough role players.

    David West...Landry, Yao, Scola, i'll pass.

    Chris Paul...yep i'd take him for sure but the hornets can't be that stupid...but their GM does have a history of doing what is best for his pockets...

    Lucky Nuggets playing Hornets in the first round.

    Now they finally got rid of the first round exit curse.

    Let's see if Rockets can do it tomorrow.

    I forgot to mention. The Nuggets basically won this series off of intimidation. The Hornets were clearly scared and showed no heart against the Nuggets. Obviously the Nuggets were more talented but the Hornets were scared of this Nuggets team.

    thats what i was thinking. the hornets is better than how they played this playoff series.
    even though i was going for denver i expected them to at least go to game 7.
    oh well

    Nah I don't they are better, this series basically exposed them. The Hornets are soft.

    I laugh at how tough they tried to act last year against Dallas. Where was that this year?

    Seriously, I root for Billups to get the MVP instead of the Travelling James who is refs' favorite stweetheart. :cool:
    Billups made a lottory team become a contender which is so called what MVP is.
