I watch all those NBA preview shows, read all the NBA preview supplements in the newspapers...and not one of them talked of the Charlotte Hornets. Folks, I have news for them and for you:
The Charlotte Hornets are on their way to winning the NBA Championship and becoming a dynasty that will match the '90s Bulls.
Their lineup is stacked with top level players who are not household names; but if you know basketball, you know these guys can play!
P.J. Hairston
Cody Zeller
Jeremy Lamb
Aaron Harrison
Spencer Hawes
Al Jefferson
Nick Batum
Jeremy Lin
Frank The Tank Kaminsky
Kemba Walker
Michael Kidd-Gilchrist
and the legend...
Tyler Hansbrough
None of them are Hall Of Fame bound. None of them will be hosting "Saturday Night Live" next week. But all of them are incredibly solid b-ballers.
That team is a well built team. Championship in their sights.
You're not quite ready for The Onion.

I ain't trying for "The Onion." I'm going for "Sports Illustrated."
I know my stuff. That Hornets lineup is damn good. Yeah, a bunch of "no names" to a casual fan like you; but I know my b-ball. I love that team. Strong team.

You got the Hornets regularly outplaying the West for 6 rings?
Nah, not buying what you're selling. What point are you trying to make?
I like that you're building up the Hornets so that we can ambush them!

My point is this: that Hornets team has some fine players on it. As basketball fans we look to watch some good ball. It doesn't have to be superstars, it doesn't have to be a "Big Three." I appreciate the guys on that Hornet team. Some real nice players. And a lot of them. Entertaining team to watch, and a team whose quality will surprise even the experts. They are a very, very good team.
Dynasty that will match the 90's Bulls?
Oooooh kaaaaaay
We are a WAY better team should have won by ten... Fish left the second team in way to long
I'm a big Hornet fan as we all know. Crazy that they have my 2 favorite players of all time. Ewing & Lin
I like the bench with the 2 Jeremy's.
Both torched our bench tonight.
Hornets are much improved but I think the Knicks can be better. They have some really good talent from what I saw. Thing is it's a lot of jump shooting. They run a very nice offense that fits their talent well. Good guards and SF's.
Hornets are pretty good young team. Not sure what they are going for in the future but I doubt they give Jefferson big money going forward. Jordan keeps drafting big white guys (Zeller and Frank).
Kemba Walker is a very good player!
They are letting Lin be Lin and we fell victim the best of what he does.
Hornets will make a lot of noise this year. They are also a tall team like us. They have 3 7footers and Big Al. I think they have better guard play but our bigs are better than theirs. It's going to be fun watching them play.
They also have the right coach for the Jeremy's and Batum. Watch them move Kemba for a missing piece.
Zeller makes All-NBA first team!!! Book it now!!! I just know we will be reading a FireWoodson prediction that he will be a max player by this season's trading deadline!
FireWoodson just knows basketball! A true savant! He knew Lin's hair was going to be a factor!
Face it gentlemen, no matter how many threads get locked, we are in the presence of greatness!

Al Jefferson is extremely overrated (well maybe as much anymore ... finally). Lopez just shut his azz down! Old school special with only a post game.
Kemba just seems like a bit of a dumb "scorer" mentality.
Here they come again.
Best team in sports no one worries about.
Be afraid. Be very afraid.
I'm predicting a solid double digit lead.....With a close 4th quarter win!
In fact....
Thats my prediction for all games this season......
I'm on record here....but the knicks will be the best NBA team, for the first 3 quarters. And the worst in the 4th quarter, due to several things....
- Talent
- Coach
- ISO Melo
- Injuries to key players
