They are having so much fun. Found it at http://www.nba.com/hornets/2008playoffs.html
Peja on a stick is dancing around. Hilarious.

He was going for a layup and Bonzi Flagrant 1-ed him. 
It was a "Remember me?" game by Bonzi. First that foul (2nd quarter) then 8 straight points in the 4th.

I don't know the dude, but in all his interviews and appearances he appears extremely enthusiastic and earnest budding NBA superstar. He seems to go to extreme lengths in giving credit to his teammates and coach in post game interviews/conferences to the point of exaggerating.
Also, if you read articles about him and his brother (who is also his manager) and how they live and breathe this NBA thing (again going to some extremes, like buying two adjacent condos and using one to host visiting players) I don't know where arrogance would come in.
Still, to do what he does in almost every game, he must have so much confidence in his own ability, is that cocky and arrogant? I say no.

haven't seen much of him this season, and the first round was when i really got a chance to see him play a lot. he's extremely talented, but i also thought he did a lot of sneering and playing to the crowd during the games. i guess it was emotional being in the playoffs for the first time, but it did remind me of how kobe carries himself during games.
I equate this photo to Rocky IV when Rocky finally got a good shot on Drago and made him bleed. Then Rocky's trainer was yelling in the corner after the round "YOU SEE HE'S NOT A MACHINE, HE'S A MAN!!"
GO FINISH THEM HORNETS! WHEN the Hornets win this picture will be infamous and synonymous with the moment the Spurs were broken.

Go Hornets!
Yeeeeaaah... I'm totally not seeing that as a reason to root for the Hornets over the Spurs...
Not only that, but any Kings Fan who hates the Lakers should want the Spurs to win, because the Spurs are the only team in the west that can beat the Lakers. You heard it here first: the Hornets. Can't. Beat. The Lakers. The Spurs are the only hope to keep the Lakers out of the Finals.

The Pistons don't have Kobe Bryant. He won't allow the Lakers to collapse the way Detroit did last year.
And let's not suffer from any delusion that the Cavaliers were actually the better team; they had the best player on the court, that got hot at the right time, and a lazy Detroit team. The Hornets will neither have the benefit of a complacent opponent, nor the best player on the court.

Well one step at the time... Technically, the Hornets shouldn't be able to beat the Spurs either, but we'll see how that goes.
As for Lakers vs. Hornets, that series would be full of mismatches, one team's weaknesses are the other team's strongest spots. I would also give the edge to the Lakers agains Hornets, but I don't think that Spurs chances against LA are all that much better.

Yeah, that's my problem with rooting for the Hornets wholeheartedly. But, you never know, and I'm not sure anyone can beat the Lakers anyway. The Hornets could make it interesting, at least. Put West on Odom, Chandler on Gasol... no one on the Lakers can guard Paul... and no one on the Hornets can guard Kobe.
The Hornets are fairly up-tempo and have no stoppers. We needn't go further than this. LA has 15 straight 100 pt gms and are 59-10 when scoring 100 (they have only 3 wins by -100). They can beat teams with this collection of players and with this offense if allowed to. You have to slow down tempo and punish LA's bigs. That = SA, Det, Bos.
