It really doesn't matter who the Charlotte Hornets get in the first round, because everybody they're going to play is going to be good.
With the playoffs getting closer, the matchups in the Eastern Conference are starting to take shape, and there's a very common perception among fans of the middle teams in the East. "I want Charlotte." This comes off as insulting to a team that has been very good for much of the season, and has been shooting flames out of their fingertips since March. However, it does make some bit of sense. The Hornets could be viewed as the "weakest" of the four, and one injury could send them tumbling.
