NOLA.com wrote:The best start in Hornets history got better Wednesday night.
It could get a lot better in the next eight days, when the Hornets play four consecutive home games against very beatable teams. It could get so good that by the time New Orleans becomes center of the NBA universe when the All-Stars come to town Feb. 15-17, the Hornets could be the best team in the West. And that's in a conference so loaded that 10 teams have won at least 20 games, and nine have won between 22 and 26.
"Doesn't mean much," said forward David West, who, along with guard Chris Paul, should be one of the Western Conference All-Stars.
And the harsh truth is he's right. There are no trophies given for leading at the break, no belts to be awarded for owning the best record in franchise history at this point of the season, not even an overwhelming sense of satisfaction to be gained from trouncing the likes of Seattle 123-92, like the Hornets did Wednesday.
