"They have too many offensive threats and those threats are more consistent than they've been all season."
"these are no longer “games” in the commonly accepted sense of the term. these are free throw shooting contests leavened by the occasional sprint to the other end of the floor."

    You can't be racist and like basketball.
I think "they've" is referring to the threats, not the team as the first "they" is.

Nice writing.
