The burden of our expectations and success also sets us up to continue it even further.
You can't tell me that it doesn't benefit this team to have to take on the best efforts of their opponents week after week. It just sharpens the iron. They aren't ever going to be taken back by "playoff speed" and getting an opponent's full focus for four quarters; it's a weekly guarantee for them unlike it is for any other franchise.
I see it as the gift that keeps on giving, a nice revolving cycle. A bit exhausting, but wouldn't have it any other way and ultimately it's why they will threepeat.
