One thing I liked in the quotes in the OP, is that he's working with the new shooting coach. 1 for 4 from three not great but at least he wasn't hesitant to shoot, and did score 14


He is going to have to get the majority of his points from getting to the hoop in order to compensate for the lack of jumper.

So I guess he will kind of be like prime Rondo/Westbrook in that regard, lol

the lack of hesitation - the willingness to shoot is huge.

Honestly, I think it was the back and not the finger that was causing all the issues. I mean, just look at the difference in not only the shooting but the way he’s moving on the court. Seems like he has a lot more freedom of movement.

I agree with you. His finger isn't helpnig, but it had to be his back that made him look so stiff. The most amazing thing about Hart is he really looks like he has the perfect body shape for an NBA player and when he's feeling well, he shows what he can do. I mean, just compare him to Yabu. Which guy looks like a player?
