Next ten games could be the key for the future

The Suns have the best record in the West after beating the Bobcats on Monday night at 34-14 (.708), they're 8-2 over the last 10 games.

Phoenix is 20-2 (yeah, you got it right, 20 wins in 22 games) against Eastern Conference teams, only 14-12 vs. the West but what's making most of Suns fans worried is the 5-8 record against teams with winning records in the Conference.

Right now, any playoffs matchup, would mean trouble for the Suns. If the regular season ended today Phoenix would play Golden State. Not sure I like the idea.

The Suns' February schedule is the perfect test to check the real value of this team: over the next ten games the Suns will play 7 at home and play 8 games against teams with winning records. Anything less then 7-3 would be disappointing.

Phoenix will face some of the League's best: New Orleans (Feb. 6th), Golden State (Feb. 13th), Dallas (Feb. 14th), The Lakers (Feb. 20th), Boston (Feb. 22nd), Detroit (Feb. 24th) and the Hornets again (Feb. 27th).

Go Suns !
