I checked on the "expert" picks again today (looked at them yesterday).

Yesterday Aaron Weisberg was the only "expert" the predicted the Hornets would win. Now after game 2, all of the experts except for 1 have switched their picks to the Hornets. No wonder their "expert" scores are doing ...(more)
