How the Advantage Board Works
The advantage board simply tells who is better in what category. This gives you a more in depth look at the game then you can find anywhere else. The Who's Hot and Who's not section tells which player or team is the hottest out of the two teams, and which player/team is not out of the two. It's simple, so move on to the.....

Advantage Board!

Charlotte Hornets vs. New Jersey Nets

Offense-Hornets
Davis has made big plays down the stretch and the bench added 22 points against New York. Mash and Wesley are always steady. Campbell is inconsaistent and Brown gets big offenive rebounds, suddenly the Hornets look great offensively.

Defense- Hornets
The defense has been lacking a little bit of last season's toughness but it will look better than it usually does against the Nets.

Rebounding- Hornets
Brown had 16 boards against the Knicks and the Hornets look dominant down low. Traylor has looked good too. Campbell will get a lot of boards if he can stay out of foul trouble.

Bench- Hornets
The bench ahs been excellent so far, Traylor has been a nice surprise but Augmon needs to solidify himself like he did in the pre-season. Nailon looked good against New York and could be worth more than what he's gettting paid for.

Intangibles-Hornets
It was close on this category but the Hornets edge the Nets by virtue of being un-defeated. The Nets are at home though, so you never know.

Prediction- Hornets
Both of these teams are looking great, watching Davis and Kidd go at it will be lots of fun. Thsi will be a close game, maybe it will go to OT but expect someone other than Davis to make the big shots, Kidd won't allow the Baron to work his 4th guarter magic like the last two games.

Who's Hot and Who's Not

Who's Hot
The Hornets bench and Baron Davis. Davis ahs been looking like an all-star and the bench ahs played surpirisngly well.

Who's Not
The Hornets guard Eldridge Recasner played a little vs. New York but didn't make a big impact on the game.
