Guess what. This team is not done. In fact, we are seeing a new team emerge that has grit and if we keep winning and beat teams like rockets and Boston then I’m not ruling anything out. Get the 3rd seed. Jrue has really surprised me. He’s playing like a superstar and I am ok recognizing him as one of the best guards in the league.

Hey, the first line of post was "I hope this is an overreaction to a bad stretch of games." So it was and I'm very happy to admit it. Looking back at the descriptors I used--"listless," "sleep walkers," "pouting"--that's exactly what they looked like in the stretch following Cousins' injury. I also said what I expected was for Davis, who looked particularly disinterested, to show he had arrived as a true superstar player and carry the team the way a LeBron or Westbrook would carry their teams. Ask and you shall receive! That is exactly what Davis has done and I couldn't be more pleased. To see him step up and become the kind of force that we always knew he could be.
I don't know exactly what Boogie said to Davis on that phone call, but I bet every coach in the league would like the transcript!
A perfect example of how this team is floored without DMC.
AD and DMC is another story.
Steven Adams breaks down the Thunder’s success not switching at all when he was guarding old mate Anthony Davis pick-and-rolls: “Their guards are not trying to score like that, like crazy...They’re more probing, trying to see if they can drag you out to get lobs for old mate.”
