In the most recent article on my Early Eastern Conference Playoffs Predictions, the Eastern Conference Finals were set. Sadly, the Charlotte Hornets were not included. I had them losing to the Boston Celtics in five games. Along with the Celtics is, of course, the Cleveland Cavaliers, leading to a rematch of last season.
After my prediction of how the ECF will go, I will analyze the Hornets situation. Would this playoff outcome be a success for them? Could they have a chance at the Eastern Conference Finals anytime in the near future?
