:emo:
Why did you remind me?

 

[MapleLeaf]

Hornets have never won a game in Dallas while being in New Orleans (0-11, 0-2 this year)

 

[DJT]

I was honestly pulling for the Hornets K2D...but that first matchup will be beastly.

I was cheering for Brandon Bass (11 points, 10 rebounds, 2 blocks, 7 offensive boards ), the hornets, the mavericks...in that order.

 

[RipCity32]

Boston > Atlanta In 4
Detroit > Philadelphia In 5
Orlando > Toronto In 7 (could go either way IMO)
Cleveland < Washington In 7

Los Angles > Denver In 6
New Orleans > Dallas In 6
Utah > Houston In 7
San Antonio < Phoenix In 7
