Is it premature to say New Orleans will be a top 4 seed in the West?

    ummmm I suggest you watch more Aldridge. He can't beat you down low and he's not good at defending down in the low block. If you said he's a great face up jump shooter and can guard the perimeter well for a big man, you would of been on to something.

    Only if Yi did not develop into a superstar and the Bucks didn't win the championship last year. You are a pre-mature postjackulator.

    6-0- best start in franchise history, better roster than 2008 team, it's starting to add up. We have them and the Thunder back to back on the road next week. Those games will definitely establish the new early pecking order in the West.

    Better roster than the teams with Bogues, LJ, Mourning, Rice and Dell Curry?

    They've lost 5 of 7 and are about to lose another. Getting beat by 30 against the Spurs. I knew they'd come back down to earth.

    Where's Kingspeed?

    That draft pick isn't looking awful, as everyone thought.

    The Hornets are 1 game behind the #4 seed. I'd also like to remind you that they are one of only 3 teams to beat the Spurs this season.

    They are also on a trend of losing 6 of their last 8. This is the Hornets we know and love. They are going to be lucky to sneak in the playoffs.
