    Hornets will win.
    Pacers are not playing good lately and Mash is amazing and Hornets are hot.
    With return of Baron Davis they will be even better

    Does anyone else think hornets are a darkhorse to make the finals? afterall they have kenny anderson off the bench and he was big in last years playoffs.Also they made the 2nd round last season without mashburn their best player.

    Also a hornets win tonight will keep pistons first [​IMG] so i'm hoping NO win the game..

    New Orleans is gonna win it for sure, no reason why they shouldn't, especially with B-Diddy back.

    hornets have a big chance. pacers r sucking lately but r good @ home! Note that they still have the best home record in the league, and that they have lost 8 outta 9, 7 of the losses have been on the road. Pacers win @ home usually. this'll b a great gamE!

    Hornets will need to adjust to B. Diddy's return. I think the Pacers will win this game. Artest is going to be back and they'll need him to slow down Mashburn. Should be a very physical game, so if the refs swallow their whistles, the Pacers should be able to pull this one out.

    Baron Davis has 4 points... He did an easy two handed jam off a fast break so far.

    Actually artest is playing as expected and at halftime it is

    Pacers 36 Hornets 42

    baron davis has 7 points 2 rebounds and 3 assists in his first game back in 12 minutes of play

    hornets are a head even though mash is only 3-11 from the field.Not a bad game so far..
