Steve Clifford is pretty confident this year's Hornets squad is a playoff team. In fact, he thought last year's team was bound for the playoffs were it not for the incredible amount of injuries the teams sustained. But what makes this team different from past Hornets teams, and why is Clifford so confident they can make the playoffs in an improved East? Here's what he told the Courier-Tribune:

"'You have to be able to make shots, and I believe we have more shooting,' Clifford said, 'but we’ve also added guys to more create shots for their teammates, which helps a lot.'"
