In the last 20 games, their top five net rating.

So we kind of almost have to look at like the first part of the season is like getting acclimated.

And now they're rolling.

And the teams that are rolling in March.

Yeah.

Who is just it's an avalanche going into the playoffs.

And that's what I feel like the momentum is definitely on the Hornets side.

Look at the play in matchups.

OK, let's say we wind up with a game between, I don't know, worst case scenario for Charlotte is Orlando, right?

I think they're the best team in that group between it's Orlando, Miami, Atlanta, Charlotte.

Who do you trust more in one game?

I mean, frankly, like Charlotte, I know that they can score whether or not they're going to stop the magic every single time.

You never know.

But the magic stopped themselves so often on offense that they just aren't a threat in a single game to me.

Yeah, the answer is the Hornets for me.

Yeah, they've got way more weapons.

And, you know, the Hornets have that hug you type of defense.

Yeah, they can just annoy you enough to get you to feel like you're discombobulated on offense.

And I think that just their energy that they would get up for at one game, I would trust them.

And also, I mean, look, there is a real basketball sort of, you know, the way basketball works.
