Arguably last year he had even less to work with given all the new faces and injuries they had. This year I thought the Harris trade was kind of a sign that they didn't GAF about the playoffs and wanted to keep their pick. Part of it has been an unwillingness of teams chasing them to win (cough Lakers cough) but they have also been playing really sound basketball. Shout out to my man Montrezl, too, loved the dude at Louisville and he's really taken his game to another level this year.
