    What about option G: we only faced two good teams in the past ten? San Antonio and Golden State. GJ winning those two Rox. Now get back on the horse and show us what you learned against the big boys. It starts tomorrow.

    Considering he makes $21 mil and is the #1 or #1A option on this team, you can't tell me that his play is more impressive than some of our other guys.

    Weaker opponents and an easier schedule. Our biggest victory was against the Spurs. The rest were teams we would've expected to win at the start of the season.

    Our early season was brutal. Makes sense that it's a bit easier now, yes?

    Also we have been able to score more than the opponents and our defense allows fewer points than the opponents

    Because of my prayers every night

    and I sacrificed a virgin on top of a volcano before the season started.

    yes it's because we are playing easy teams.
    It really helps our team's confidence though. We are improving a lot compare with last month.

    What a weird way to dog your team even when they win.

    During the streak they have beaten

    Cleveland twice, Portland, and Golden State...so 40% of the teams were not easy teams.

    And prior to that they had won 4 in a row, and beat San Antonio during that stretch.

    The only lose in the last 15 games was to Utah...and that was without Yao Ming.

    You people saying they are only beating the bad teams are missing out on something special.
