    Don't they normally say that you need a top #10 offense and defense to be a contender?

    No.

    Let's hope they can win a playoff series.

    Until the Rockets get a closer, they are not a championship contender.

    Lol no,

    They don't even have a MVP caliber player on the roster, how yall expect them to be contenders. I think yall letting the early season success get to yall heads. This team is a long way to go from being a championship contender

    No one seriously thinks this team is a championship contender. Tell me a championship team without a top 10 player in this day and age.

    Well, fans can say they are swag contenders like the last years.

    Udoka is probably the only MVC type of contender.

    I don’t think it’s all that puzzling. If our backcourt only shot 25% from 3 last night, we win. There are other factors, of course, but the huge gaping hole in the corpse is our PG and SG combining for 1/15 from 3. Hard to overcome that on any night…but especially on a back to back.
