Wow. Lost for words with the team right now. They are so confident and in a groove, it is scary.
I actually have the feeling that WHEN they want to defend, they can get stops. The last time I had that was in '11. They have 3 plus defenders on the court at all times (almost, but even Kidd will not experiment in the playoffs) and even Ky and Luka are playing good defense. This is soooo promising. Luka and Ky can beat any team by themselves ona ny given night, no wonder we have the best clutch record, because we have the league's best player (even injured) in Luka and one of the best scorers (at least top 10 if you count efficiency) in Kyrie. Also love me some Exum on D and O and the physicality and rebounding ability of Gafford and PJ are great. If he shoots 35+ on 3 in the playoffs, we are in good shape. And if they play Gafford off the court, we still have Lively or Maxi for a big but mobile lineup.
Also: Who else loves the new way those games are reffereed? The league will never admit to it but it is so much more leeway for the defense. No more BS calls in every offenses way, less interruptions, more real basketball. The physicality even favours us, because Luka is strong, unlike other Superstars he does not rely on his FTs coming. He will smoke you on the court.
Hell yeah, this time is fun to be a MFFL!
