Little did we know that our 25th win, against the Golden State Warriors at home, would start us on a record breaking run of 22 straight victories. We knew our schedule became considerably easier and that we needed to take advantage of the weaker teams we were playing in order to jump back into the playoff race. What we didn't envision was the high level of basketball our team attained.
The streak was so amazing. It seemed like every night, someone new stepped up their game and led us to victory. We were playing as a team and playing beautiful basketball.
After our 12th win, our team received devastating news: Yao would miss the remaining games of the season with a stress fracture in his foot. Our team (and Yao for that matter) was really down and sad. For a second, it seemed that all of our hard work would go down in vain.
But an amazing thing happened: we believed in each other! Not only did we not lose immediately, we won 10 more straight games and set the second longest winning streak record in the NBA with 22 straight wins!!!!!
People still did not think we would make the playoffs and discounted us. We always stayed together and never made excuses. To make the playoffs, despite injury and the doubts that others had for us is a great accomplishment. One that I am very proud of.
We are excited about clinching a playoff birth, but we know our work is not done. It is time to advance deep into the playoffs. It will be difficult without our best player Yao, but one thing we learned about this year is that anything is possible when you play as a team and believe!!!!
Cheer us on,,
Your friend,
Shane
