FEAR THE HORNETS

With its current 42-32 win-loss card, the New Orleans Hornets are only good for seventh spot in the Western Conference ladder. For now, nobody is taking them seriously going into the post-season play. A potential first round playoff match-up could be against the two-time defending champions, the Los Angeles Lakers. But as far as Hornets star Chris Paul is concerned, anything can happen in the playoffs. Paul says once they get into the playoff, teams should fear the Hornets because he believes it will be hard to win four games against them in any given series, according to the New Orleans Times-Picayune.

“We’ve just got to get in, I don’t care. When it gets to the playoffs, anything can happen. It’s a whole other ballgame. You’ve got to beat a team four times. So I feel like, first things first, we’ve got to get into the playoffs. Then I don’t think too many teams want to play us. We’re one of those teams that can scare you. When it gets to the playoffs, you get an opportunity to just prepare for one team.”
