What do you want?

The New Orleans Hornets won their ninth straight game tonight.

They are ranked No. 1 in the entire NBA by NBA.com's power poll.

And yet there are two reasons to ask this question: What do you want?

To the people of New Orleans and south Louisiana: What do you want? This team is as hot as any team in the NBA and 15,000-plus showed up. Now, granted on a Monday, that's probably not all bad, but when your franchise's fate is tied to attendance figures, you have to wonder what the Hornets' fan base wants.

And then to Denver coach George Karl: What do you want? After Monday's game, Karl said, "I'm not ready to jump on their bandwagon. But they're pretty good and I'm not sure what weakness they have.''

What do you want, George Karl?
