I wouldn't be worried if I was you guys. The W's are barely beating sub .500 teams on their own court and often with those teams missing key players. They had the great 6-2 start then David Lee got injured and everything went in the tank. Yes, they had the hardest schedule in the league up till about mid January when the team had all players healthy for the first time since 2007, but even despite the injuries and tough schedule you could tell they're just a bad team. They're currently in the middle of a stretch where they only play 2 road games in like 25 games and both of those games were at Staples center and while it is improving their record, they're not beating decent teams and they're barely beating bottom feeders. Its not going to be pretty after this massive homestand when they have to go out on a few more tough roadies.
Perhaps a deadline deal could really vault them onto a new level but they'd have to make up some ground down the stretch. The bench is absolutely horrid, defense is horrid, they foul a ton and barely ever get to the FT line, don't rebound particularly well. People think we have good offense because they think we're still running and gunning but our offense isn't even anything to write home about. Its above average and talented but just not that explosive, hard to stop, etc. There are a lot of flaws but I suppose you could look at it more like they have some good pieces and also have major holes. Should they fill those holes at the deadline they could get a lot better very fast. Right now though, they're not a threat, just feeding off of an insane home stretch. They'll even back out once its over unless there are big changes.
