Well, if Bill Simmons has any sort of crystal ball over at his office in Los Angeles, California, tonight’s game will be a preview of this year’s NBA Finals. Not only were the Hornets one of the better teams in basketball last season, but they somehow managed to get better by acquiring players like James Posey from Boston. The lasting memory that I have from last season was the David West game-winner with 0.6 seconds left when the Hornets came to Cleveland. Here’s hoping that this one is a little bit of redemption while Chris Paul and company will be a bit short-handed due to some early-season injuries.

anybody else think that call against LBJ fouling CP3 on the rebound in the 4th seem to be called about 30secs after it happened? ANd mike brown of course said nothing to the ref
It was a foul tho lol. Mike brown needed to change the defense cuz james posey and butler had way too many wide open 3 pointers. Mo had a off game and lebron wasn’t even looking to score. Gibson gonna be a huge player for us this year tho. West needs to come off the bench tho cuz starting he gets no shots. I didn’t expect them to win tho, but that was before i found out chandler and peja wasn’t playing. Good game tho,but bad 4th quarter cost us.
