Been watching sports for over 40 years and I don’t think I’ve ever seen what we’re witnessing right now.  Can you believe that the team we saw earlier this year is positively steamrolling teams right now?  We ARE the best team in the league right now; bar none.

I’m not guaranteeing a title or anything like that, but please no one wake me up from the dream.  The playoffs can’t get here soon enough.

This is the team I thought we were going to get earlier and couldn't believe how bad we were. This is very believable!

The level of dominance by the C’s in the second half of this season is reminiscent of the 2008 team.

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

It’s a player’s league, but you have to be impressed by Udoka. What he’s overseeing is fairly amazing.

Team looks dominant. 

They're what, 21-4 in their last 25?  And they're destroying teams... point differential over that span is something stupid.  I'm trying to stay grounded, but the sample is getting too large to ignore.

I can't tell how much of that is the simple fact that they have been playing these games like they are all playoff games (and mostly playoff not playoff competition) or if they are really this good.  That is what is giving me pause.  8/9 man rotations against weaker competition, they almost should look this good.  The game tonight was fantastic though as Denver is obviously a very good team.
