it's because dalembert and hunter's defense shut down the paint. plus iggy is finding his groove. he's going to be an all-star and if you get a top 4 pick I bet you're in the playoffs within 3 years.
so... honestly it comes down to the players not wanting to tank because of their competitive spirit.
We keep winning because in the words of one of the Eagles greatest last second heroes Herm Edwards " you play the game to win "
You also play to win to develop a positive attitude for your players when they return next october
I'm one who enjoys watching this team go 11 and 9 over the past 20 games no matter who they are playing Thew Sixers are a whole lot better then they were on january 17th when they got destroyed by Memphis for their 5 loss in 6 games
I hate to be the downer in all of this, but what "if" Durant AND Oden stay in for another year? People are saying that Oden is more open to stay now that he has had a taste of college. It would be classic if all these teams stockpile their losses and both end up staying. :
Do we wnat to begin next year with 8 guys with a losing attitude and greg Oden or do we want ot begin next year with 8 guys with a winning attitude and maybe al Horsford
seriously, i don't know what to think now. We would get swept by Detroit, or maybe get 1 game, but playoffs sounds intriguing, after all we've been through. Still want Oden or Durant tho...
