Tell you what. A lot of us sat through two boring years of mediocre first round losers with a team populated by assholes like Baron Davis and Jamal Mashburn. Then we endured an excruciating 18 and 64 season while Scott, Bower and the rest of the organization began to rebuild. And, of course, there was the temporary relocation to the dusty plains of Oklahoma. Don't get me started on that one.
So, you'll forgive a little bit of exuberance on the part of the Hornets fans. If you don't, who gives a ?
