re: Hornets @ Hawks thread: 79-89 FINAL winning streak snapped

funny reading these Hornets' fans posts, they look a lot like my feelings after the Hawks blow games like they have been since the All Star break.

12 points in the 2nd and 79 overall just won't cut it period.

The Hornets worst matchup is the Jazz. I don't think the Hornets want to see no part of the Jazz in the playoffs. Chris Paul has a horrible heads-up match-up record against Derron Williams... something like 3-8. Hornets want to see Mavericks, Trailbazers, Rockets, or Nuggets in the first round. I believe the Spurs have a slight edge but not by much in the matchup. I would give the Lakers the advantage... too many bigs and Kobe...

I would hope Hornets fans would expect a hard fought game going into tonight. West just doesn't match up well at all against Smith offensively. Smith alters all his shots and West isn't know for finishing hard around the basket, so Smith just swats his shite right outta there.

Then there is always Joe Johnson, he is legit, but against the Hornets there is no 2 guard who can ever seem to guard him.
