@ Golden State
@ Phoenix
Vs LA Lakers
Win all 3, then we have a croozy run through the end of Jan, chance to build a buffer in the conference standings? If we beat Phoenix it'll be the third time this season, Lakers would be 2 from 2 this year, Golden State is just pensky around the 7th, 8th seed.

Yeah, this should be a good "measuring stick" stretch of games. I think there will be a lot of people interested in the GS/NO given where both teams sit in the standings. I personally think the Hornets are better than GS but a lot of people seem to think otherwise. People are still expecting the Hornets to go on a stretch where they lose 15 out of 20 or something, really amazing. Unless they know something about upcoming injuries, I don't know where they come up with their numbers.
Bottom line, this will be a good stretch...not a tell-all though. I'm still sweating over their final stretch of the year: 10/14 games on the road. 12-5 on the road so far though, so maybe it won't be so bad.
I'm hoping for 2-1 in this 3-game stretch. 1-2 would be acceptable, 3-0 would open a lot of eyes.

We're a few weeks away from the half way mark of the season and 3 games seperate 1st and 7th in the West. Every win against these playoff contenders is so vital and I love the fact we haven't stumbled so far this week.
The Lakers are looking good right now, if we can beat them it'll be a huge effort. San Antonio are only 1 game ahead of us right now, I think we play them at the end of January, we really need to prove that we can beat the elite in the regular season if anyones gonna consider us a threat to take out the West. Fingers crossed we can go on a run heading into San Antonio and pull out a win. Imagine seeing the Hornets on top of the Western Conference?!?!
