Byron Scott really improved the team’s play last season.  He improved the team so much that the owner brought in some high-priced talent to put around the young kids that played well last season.  Anything less than a playoff appearance would be a disappointment.  Scott is only 56-108 as the Hornets head coach.  In his six seasons as a NBA head coach, Scott has a record of 205-247.

Scott has a record of 25-15 in the playoffs.  So if the Hornets can make it, Scott will be ready to take them a little further than most people will think he can.
