Another Record for the King

Thanks for the write-up, Jamie. These past 3 wins have been suspense thrillers. Man, I thought my blood pressure was going to shoot up in the atmosphere in each of these nail-biters, only to get exhilaration when the team comes down with timely plays to seal the deal. Nothing feels better than a game full of suspense and then find a way to win.

What I like about this fiver is the fact that you mentioned players that need a pat on the back. It is good to see Drummond taking strides in fitting in the rotation. He might be the luxury we may need in the playoffs. Yes, Markief has been struggling since AD came back to the lineup. But it seems he might be finally turning the corner and break free from this yoke of a bad slump. I am glad you mentioned Mckinnie. This is a dude who plays hard in limited minutes but hardly gets mentioned. I like his game a lot. THT reminds me a little bit of a Russell Westbrook for being fearless attacking the paint and a little bit of Kobe Bryant for his acrobatic plays around the rim. Wes Mathews definitely deserves a lot of praise. Dude is really feisty on defense and his peskyness and ability to guard bigger guards is valuable.

The fact that Trez played and Gasol didn’t goes to show the luxury we have as a team.
At the beginning of the season, we all thought we have a deep team only to run into an identity crisis with our role players when AD and LeBron went down. Suddenly, our dept became questionable with everyone not exactly sure of their role. But after some difficult times trying to keep the ship afloat, things are rounding out to form. That’s why with just two games remaining in the season it’s safe to say we are deep enough to make another run for the title. It really wont matter what seed we are in.
