The 36ers make no sense, and they’re winning!

After a torrid stretch to start the season, when the 36ers dealt with wretched injury luck and managing the growing pains of a young roster, they've completely blitzed the competition.

Surely this run will end, we say as we look on in disbelief.

And you know what? It still feels weird after you crunch the numbers because none of it makes any sense.

The 36ers are flat-out torching the league on offence, scoring at a gangbusters 113.3 points per 100 possessions, the top mark in the competition. They also own the highest marks in true shooting and effective field goal percentage.

Yet they’re inflicting all this carnage in unconventional ways.

The 36ers make no sense, and they’re winning!

Includes interview with Joey Wright. Great read.

Confidence goes a long way.

Young team playing with nothing to loose. They have confidence in their system and game plan. It all started with randles 40 point game against Perth - even tho that was a loss.

They believe they can do it. No other team is playing with the same level of confidence and belief.

And the best thing it's shut up the sack Joey/hes a terrible coach people. Proves he knows what he's doing, undisputed coach of the year, maybe the best job ever.

All this with Jacobsen and T-Ferg to more of an extent not providing much on the offensive end

Its very rare when a team has every player in top form at the same time. Adelaide should really make the most of this opportunity. It could be another fairy tale championship this year. For them this season has been a case of every other team in the comp being inconsistent and dropping games they should win. Coinciding with Adelaide gelling at the right time and its amazing what a few wins on the trot can do. Self belief and confidence in their system grows. Also a couple most improved players in sobey and creek and it all makes sense to me.

Teys being pretty reliable too doesn't hurt
