They’ve done extremely well to play .500 with AD out. That 5 game streak they reeled off may have saved their playoff hopes.
They probably had no chance at the playoffs if they fell to 10-15 games below .500.
Some tough games from now until March
so not out of the woods yet but amazing effort all around to tread water so far. Beating the Kings & sweeping the Hawks.
A guy like Thomas Bryant is fragile and sucks defensively but he’s had great injury luck since he’s been back and has been great for them offensively. Perfect regular season depth player.
