why aren't people getting excited for the hornets like they do if the saints would make the playoffs. This team struggled and still made the playoffs

For the most part many common people/fans don't care about basketball in general much less the NBA. It's easier for a fan to get ready for that "one big game" each week than getting into games several times a week and some back-to-back games. Now that the playoffs are in full swing these series can last a while especially if they go 7 games. Just too much for time for many.

Bottom line in the South is that football is king and most every other sport takes a back seat or even put in the trunk...that's just how it is.
