PAre the Miami Heat destined for another Finals appearance? Probably not, but they are 3-1 and heading to the Time Warner Cable Arena to take on the Charlotte Hornets. Miami has enjoyed a string of offensive success that has them averaging 109 points per game so far in this young season. It is unlikely that they will keep this pace up for the rest of the season but they have gotten some nice play from key positions on the court. The Hornets are coming off of a bad loss to the Knicks and will try to get things right before things get out of hand.
Charlotte is lead by the play of Kemba Walker at the point guard spot. Walker is one of the most diverse guards in the league due to his ability to stuff the stat sheet. When he is being efficient with the ball the Hornets are hard to beat. Lance Stephenson and Al Jefferson are two forces on the team that could bring Charlotte to playoff level.
The Miami Heat are no longer LeBron's team and chris Bosh is taking that as an opportunity to re-assert himself as one of the best big men in the league. Bosh is putting up crazy numbers as the on-court leader for Miami.
