for sum reason i think their a postseason team and usually thats not the case for a small ball up tempo team,i cant really explain i just feel like their playin all season just to get to playoffs and not worrying bout a seed,it werid i just think theirs sumthing speacial wit them in the playoffs to just get upsets and woulda beat the jazz last year if every1 wasnt so tired from goin on an 8 man rotation since the trade happen

pretty much.

The one thing this team has going for it over the typical smallball teams limitations is that we tend to play "most" games at an elevated level of intensity throughout the season (there are obvious lapses like last night.) That experience playing with intensity and playing almost every game like it matters gives this team a little more strength of will, or at least more comfort and experience playing under added stress. It's not a huge edge, but it matters.
