The only 2 problems we'll have is containing Amare and Barbosa. Other than that, all odds point our way. Chris plays his best ball versus Steve Nash and there defense is terrible which is easy to exploit with CP3 at point.Tyson will torch Shaq running up and down the court for ally oops.I see us winning in 5 games :lol:

I think the playoffs are going to be tough, regardless of which opponent is drawn.

Add to that, the Hornets haven't really truly seen the Suns as they are now IMO.

Agreed with 2poor, I think you are overrating Tyson, and underrating Shaq, especially in the playoffs.

We are going to get a tough matchup no matter who we play, but I would certainly rather PHO, Dallas, GS, Denver, HOU, than any of the others.

BTW, nice avatar.

Not overrating tyson im just saying, if you seen the game versus PHX...Tyson was clearly more active up and down the court while SHAQ was on him,plus shaq will get tired therefore he will make many fouls because he is a foul magnet. ShAQ is still a powerhouse, but I believe his days are done. These days he is just a big hunk of fat in the low post.

Besides the last one, those games were waaay too close to "want" to face the Suns. Plus the dreaded playoff experience factor....

Personally the only team I "want" is Golden State, we have the guys to perfectly exploit their weaknesses, they have no answer for DX, and Tyson is going to dominate the glass, and we can handle their running as well as anyone.

Once Chris starts getting his, Baron will try to beat the Hornets by himself, and if he gets hot, it could hurt us in a game or two, but over the course of a series, it will catch up to him.

Out of the 4 wins against the Suns, one game was without West and one was without Tyson. I think whoever the Hornets meet up with it will be a challenge. The WEST IS WILD!

It's a toss up, but I see you guys finishing us off in 6 or 7. Hopefully we won't have to see you in the first or second round, haha.

Hornets have no playoff experience if they do meet the Suns we will take it in 6. You need playoff experience to go far, other then stojakovich it will be hard for the hornets to compete in the playoffs.

The Suns are better and have better experience.

No worries, I think the only teams you have to worry a lot about has to be the Top 4 and the Rockets. The rest have so poor defense that the Hornets should stomp them.

You guyses have a pretty good team right now, it will be great to see it in the coming years.

I think you are overratting your team, but its understandable, a lot of teams wiht no playoff expirience think high of themselves but we have to wait for the playoffs to see the real picture. I just think that our expirience is gona win it for us against you. And just as much as paul can torture steve, amare can tourture west.
