......lets not forget the tenacious team D. Two games in a row with the opponents under 40% (minus our defensive anchor no less). I figured the defensive intensity would pick up the closer we came to the playoffs but thought it would do so gradually.  I guess Tim and Manu BOTH being out helped to kickstart the shut down tenacity. If they can maintain this, as well as the BIG 3 reuniting to wreak havoc and headaches for opposing teams and their coaches, we should be in for a fun, long ride.
