That's what we are right now according to basketball reference, 6th in offense and 9th on defense. Not sure if this deserves it's own thread, but wasn't sure where else to post it.

7th and 9th by NBA.com.
It's very impressive. This late in the year, last season we were top 2 in ORTG but had already plummeted to 20th or so in DRTG. The year before, in storied 2013-14, we were still outside the top 10 in ORTG, and 6th in DRTG.
The team is in a better place now than either of the last two seasons, which is pretty great considering how much time key players have missed.

GSW (1st, 4th), SA (3rd, 1st), Cleveland (4th, 5th), LAC (5th, 10th) all made it.

The only test is what they do in the playoffs, but we can't really know until it happens.

I guess problem was a bad choice of wording. Was just trying to say that I think statistically, we look way better than we actually are as a team. It's easy to find statistics that would put us top 3-5 in the league, but does anyone really feel like we're that good?twitter.com/anthonysmdoyle

Projecting whether or not this team's nice regular season results can translate to the playoffs (i.e. players, style, etc...) is highly relevant. Masai, Casey, Lowry, Derozan all are on record in multiple interviews saying that's what matters.
