Absolutely not.
This streak feels great due to the board being near its all time lows. But sustainability is a huge question mark.
We’ll see as teams adjust to our new reality, and for instance, I fully expect opponents are going to start game planning and focusing on Coby a lot more.
We’ve had the two huge wins vs Philly and Milwaukee, though we also broke the Embiid streak last year with Zach. It’s always fun to beat LA, I sure as hell enjoyed it! Really looking at them, they’re not as good as their name. They shot their wad in the IST, and have lost 5 of 6…beating only the Spurs in that stretch, but also
losing to them. Lebron played in 4 of the 5 losses (missed the latest vs MN).
I’ve pointed out a bunch, we’ve beaten a lot of wounded teams: NOP w/o CJ/Trey Murphy, Charlotte without LaMelo/Mark W, Miami without Bam/Herro.
This feels great, we hope it continues, but I think the board’s collective expectations are getting too high.
No hat tip threads for AK. Not by a long shot.
