Chemistry could lead the Spirit to the title
As expected the Spirit have been one of the best and most consistent teams this season narrowing in on a franchise record 29 wins. While most teams at the top have 2 or 3 superstars, the Spirit have zero. However they have perhaps the best teamwork seen in league history. Raymond Gradney, Steve McMillen, Nicolas Weed, Jarred Ringgold and Randell Fishman have no all-star rselections between them, however the 5 starters average over 17ppg a piece, something never seen before. The team leads the league with over 103ppg and allowing just over 94ppg, the defense is a franchise best along with the inside game. What sets the team apart from the others is that even if any of the starters succumb to an injury, they have the firepower to make up for it.
