We have been on a really good run for quite a long time (starting well before the trade). It really helped when Luka started playing like a super star again. But I feel like we are watching Powell and Maxi get ground into dust before our eyes. I don't think we are going to be able to sustain this level of play for the rest of the regular season, and more importantly I think the playoffs are a different beast than the regular season. Our lack of interior defense and rebounding can be exploited a lot more effectively by a playoff team that has 7 games to work on it.
And if either Powell or Maxi miss significant time in a playoff series, we are totally screwed. We should not be that dependent on two guys who realistically should be coming off the bench.
