Miami is 3-0 at home this season, and even though Shaq is out, they still have a ton of talent. The best the Hornets can do is keep Miami out of the paint, and on the other end they have to move the ball around and hit perimeter shots. It will be interesting to see if Scott wants to push the tempo or if he wants to slow it down. Probably the former.
