Yeah it was not only bold, but ridiculous and silly. :)

I'm feeling good on the Hornets, but there is that championship "mystique" missing which I can't put my finger on.

I guess I'll have to keep going with that "experience" excuse which is so annoying. (That's for you Dannie :P)

That's a brave prediction right there calling a sweep. I really hope the Hornets win those two games in San Antonio.

As for the feel... I agree that there's something lacking when you look at the Hornets and their chance of winning it all. But hey, they have made a lot of people believe in them after finishing second in the West, beating Dallas in 5, and winning two straight against the Spurs. So I would say that I'm feeling Hornets as this season's champs!

Being a Raptors fan I am pulling for Mo Pete. I am waiting for the bubble to burst but man they are good.

CP, Chandler and West are killer.

A Lakers-Hornets series would be wicked.

boooo Spurs

I'm calling sweep against the Spurs right now! :)

And actually, if they do sweep the Spurs, I think my opinion on their matchup with an Eastern champion would be drastically different.

More concerned with getting past the Spurs and Lakers. If they do I am much less concerned about Detroit and Boston. Boston might not even make it the way they played on the road against a weaker Atlanta team most people expected to get swept. Same with Detroit. Their on again off again style will probably catch up to them like it has the past few years. And I think NOH matches up well against both Eastern conference powerhouses.

I definitely find myself rooting for them and expect them to beat the Spurs, but I'm just not so sure they can get by the LakeShow or Detroit/Boston.

Veteran superstars tend to outshine these youngsters, IMO.

I feel like this Hornets team is really tough and pose tons of match up problems for San Antonio.

I feel like people are making WAY to big a fuss about experience this year and it is overshadowing the fact that great talent (Chris Paul+David West) and effort can overcome lack of experience.

I also feel like people are overlooking the fact that Peja (9th year in playoffs), Bonzi (7th year in playoffs), Morris (4th year in playoffs) and Jannero (4th year in playoffs) along with Byron Scott's Finals experience as a coach and player are all playoff veterans on this team. So what Paul, Chandler and West lack in experience they make up with ability and the supporting players bring good enough experience to keep the team from imploding.

I feel like the Hornets are my second favorite team right now and since my Sixers are out I am rooting for them to win it all.
