They feed off this emotion and will be motivated to play for one another through all of the turmoils of the past couple of the years. I feel they're a team of destiny with how the post season has gone for them so far (Fired coach, the AG buzzer beaters, Westbrooks highs and lows, championship poised vs Clippers...etc). Every series they had been and will be counted out and yet here they are, one game away from reaching the conference finals.
They famously ran out of gas in a second round game 7 last year. They came out strong, and then scored only 37 second half points and just looked like a team that was completely spent due to their short rotation.
I wouldn't be surprised if it happened again this year. Similar short rotation, starters playing through injuries.
