On SPORTINGNEWS.com, Sean Deveney writes "this is a crucial season for the Hornets. They took a big step forward after drafting Chris Paul in 2005, jumping from 16 wins to 38. A summer spending spree last year brought Tyson Chandler, Peja Stojakovic and Bobby Jackson, but injuries ruined the season. The best thing the Hornets can do to spark interest is win. A good season might not lead to the kind of inspirational, national story the Saints were last year, but everything is set up for this team to be a major help in bringing New Orleans back. They have talent, and they have a charismatic star. And they have this: The All-Star game."
