I respectfully disagree: The C's *are* playing consistently. They've
won 23 games out of 26! They're beating teams by an average of
14 points!

Certainly, a lot of that is their fabulous defense. But the C's are
11th in points per game, 3rd in field goal percentage, 3rd in
three-point percentage, 8th in assists per game.

So they're a strong offensive team. They're just an even better
defensive team. And the combination is amazing.

Can they get better? I sure think so. But they're already a great
team. Lucky us.
