The fast start is indicative of the experience and depth of the team. I would be concerned if they needed big minutes from the stars to get off to this record, but they are resting the big guns for the most part, and still running teams out of the gym. They also seem somewhat content to trade baskets for the first half, and then clamp down a little in the second half if needed. All in all, I like the pace they are playing with even if they do seem like they are going through the motions sometimes.
