For a team with little playoff experience, they are showing how to handle business at home. The Hornets whipped up on the Spurs in Game Two, putting the champs in the hole heading back to San Antonio.



I know the Spurs will likely win both games at home because they are the defending champs and Popovich will have his team ready to play.  I really believe that this will be a seven game series.  Hopefully home court will pay off for my boys.

Still, one must wonder what the league big wigs are thinking if the Hornets win out and possibly go on to play the Lakers.  They may have to rig the games just so they won't have another small market basketball team in the finals.  I really don't think it would hurt the ratings at all because New Orleans is a fast paced, high scoring team that keeps you in the game.  But, you know and I know what they (NBA) envision is a Lakers/Celtics Finals.  

But my New Orleans Hornets have a shot.   It might not be a gamblers bet, but I'm willing to ride this wave of good fortune until Saints training camp opens.
