More Wins - Hornets or Magic?

Post by Deez »

Who ends up finishing higher on the season? I think Charlotte should once again since they are the better team but Orlando has a slim chance to come close to them I'd say. I think the Hornets can finally make the playoffs in the Beast.

How exactly are the hornets the better team???.
Just because they wiped their ass with the bulls doesnt make them the better team and a team all bulls homers can now all of a sudden vastly overrate...you guys overrate your own team, isnt that enough overrating for one fanbase?

More points scored
Less points given up
Too early..easier schedule, no overtime games to inflate points against
Look at defensive stats..magic are top ten..hornets are nowhere to be seen.
Magic are better

I don't think there's a definitive answer to the OP's question.
Losing Kidd-Gihlchrist hurts the Hornets defensively.

Here's some early season rankings:

Orlando: 22nd offensive efficiency. 11th defensively.
Charlotte: 9th offensive efficiency. 15th defensively.

They are 4 spots different in defense while Orlando is 13 spots back offensively, that difference alone makes up for the little defense that Orlando has

Did you just call me "poo"?

By the way, Cleveland made the NBA Finals with the 18th ranked defense last season. By almost any statistical measurement, it seems that you have to have either a great offense or great defense to be successful... with most of the best teams being good on both sides of the court.

Orlando is currently #22 on offense.
