The third quarter. Game 1. That's all you need to know.
That was when the best-kept, underappreciated, unsuspecting, unassuming, uninvited secret unveiled its self. It came to the door of the NBA playoffs and stood there, waiting for someone to open it. The league was like, "Yeah, we know they have reservations, but they don't have the nerve to show up & do they?"
Knock, knock.
Yesssiiirrr, they showed up. Dressed in colors no one should wear to a place that has a dress code. Purple? Yellow? Green? Turquoise? The New Orleans Hornets came to the postseason dinner that is the NBA playoffs and let the remaining teams know: Sidney Poitier got nothin' on them.
All season long, they've been doubted. They've had one player exalted to MVP candidate status. They came into the playoffs as neophytes and are in position to make a more impressive run than the Golden State Warriors did last season. As Chris Paul says in ESPN's "Only one can win" spot: He's not here to lose.
