Offensively - ball movement. The ball was definitely sticking to start the season. Now we're playing in space and guys are starting to get shots in their comfort zones. Even RJ has stopped over dribbling. We really don't have many 1-on-1 type guys, so all the role players look so much better when they aren't being asked to create shots.
Defensively - it looks like we are all on the same page. It's a very by-the-numbers approach. Chase guys off the 3 point line. Let the bigs stay home as much as possible and live with teams getting mid range jumpers. It's pretty easy to sell out on the perimeter. It's not so easy to stay disciplined on the mid ranged stuff. And really, you need everyone disciplined with that approach. When Joe-nobody is splashing 17 footers on you over and over, you still need to stick with the game plan.
