They are on a roll no doubt. I know it's a long home stand and the opponents are usually below .500 or carrying injuries galore. But they still are doing what the whole season was about which is play good defense. The offense looks good when Ross and Patterson are hitting shots. When those two suck it puts way too much pressure on Lowry and DD. Since JV got back he is usually good for 10+ points as well. They still go in spurts on O but the defense is getting more consistent as the season goes on.
Now I would like to see some games against top quality opponents with all their players to see just where they stand. However in the meantime they can just keep pulling away from the pack and solidify a spot where they get an easier first round opponent and stay away from the Cavs as long as possible.
IF they can actually win in the playoffs it would be awesome if they could get to the Eastern Conference Finals.
