I love our defense the past two games

Getting under teams skin.  Don't let up.

It's like a synchronized swimming team. And likr every guy going after rebounds but not messing up the rebounding opportunity

On the defensive and offensive end.  We don't have no d Howard or drummond on our team either

“You usually have one or two guys not on the same page (defensively),” Crowder said. “It’s a beautiful thing when all five guys are so locked in and all on the same page, all playing for one another. It’s a beautiful thing.”

Contrast with Houston, with far more talent but players already saying "we need to start playing for one another", aka "we need to play as if we don't hate each other's guts".

What I love the most is the buying in on that end and seeing guys who aren't really known for there defense like Isaiah, Turner and Sully being feisty

i think it also bodes well that the past 2 teams we've played are very guard-centric (Westbrook and Harden) and I think we will continue to do well against those teams because of our Smart-Bradley combo. Sure, Houston had Howard, but how often do they look to run things through him?

This is why I'm curious to see how we do against GSW later on in the year. Granted, GSW involves practically all its players and they can beat you multiple ways but Steph is still the most important player on that team.
