The Hornets are for real. Tuesday night’s game in New Orleans is a must win for the Hornets. They have Dallas right where they want them and should deliver the final blow insuring they don’t have to return to Dallas for a difficult game six. Tyson Chandler has come a long way from the skinny high school kid on the Bulls and has complimented Chris Paul well.

The first game of the day saw the host Magic cruise to a victory over the Raptors. Dwight Howard lead Orlando with a fantastic game pouring in 25 points and grabbing 22 rebounds while blocking five Toronto shots. Anthony Parker had 24 points and 8 rebounds for Toronto. The Magic did well holding Chris Bosh to just 21 points. The presence of Bosh and Howard make this series mildly interesting, but nothing else about this 3 vs. 6 matchup is noteworthy. Hey Orlando and Toronto fans, tell me why I should care about this series?
