I actually expect the Hornets to win, although I'm still pulling for the Spurs.
I really haven't had a chance to watch any of the games, this post-season so far, because of work and other commitments, but what I've been able to see, New Orleans seems to be a bit stronger.
Neither team has been particularly consistent, but the Hornets are a younger team, and maybe, just maybe, they have the fire in their bellies that can propel them past the "experienced" Spurs. On top of that, this is an even year, and if anyone does beat the Spurs, I'd rather it be the Hornets than the Lakers.
If the Hornets do win at home on Monday, good luck against the Lakers (probably) and the rest of the way. Us "Small-Market" teams have to stick together.
