Well, they have talent and depth. There's no question about that. Although there is a big drop off from the starters to the second team. Guys like Grace and Jones can provide solid minutes, but they're not a real threat when they're out there. The same is true of all their post players but Benson.

When they struggled it was for two reasons.
1. They didn't have an inside scorer because Benson was hurt.
2. They played horrible team defense.

Benson's return fixed the first problem, and evidently they've started to figure out the second problem.

Hawley is right. It's all about Leonard. He's the only really unstoppable perimiter player they have. If he gets going he's likely to put up 20 in a half. It's not like a few years ago when either AHawk or David was a threat to go for 25 to 30. I'd also say it depends a lot on Hart. He needs to shoot over 40% and keep his turnovers around 2 or 3.

In short, I wouldn't be surprised to see these guys get beat in the first round, and I wouldn't be all that surprised to see them win 2 or 3 games either.
