I've been paying attention. 10-1 in last 11 games being led by George, who in this stretch is shooting at Curry levels---->533/476/900, averaging 30.8ppg...

George has always been at his best when the expectations are low. Maybe the best thing to happen to this team is last year's collapse, because the coaching change and tougher philosophy are doing them well...

I was holding off all year to see exactly this, but yes, they are a legitimate contender in my mind now. Granted, this 11-game run has come against a ton of mediocre, star-less, or bottom feeder teams (Lakers, Blazers twice, Rockets, Pistons twice, Pacers, Wolves, Grizzlies), but they got an impressive W vs Phx in this stretch also and hung with Philly to the end...

Bottom feeders are not, these are the games you're supposed to rip thru when you're a contender; they're doing it. You don't lose these games...

I'm not declarative of any one team winning it all but they are a real threat and are gonna be a problem this postseason. I know my dog @thedevilyouknow is silently getting his confidence back to spam the board and talk his shyt lol...

George not wearing down at this point of the year like he usually does is big for him.
