The team has won 6-2 over the last 8 games.
The schedule, while packed with games, has gotten easier than it was to start the year.
Right now they are slotted at about a ATLs level team and are challenging for the 3rd of 4th slot in a weak East.
The team is gelling. Singleton has returned which helps PF depth. Otto is practicing. AH is resting his old knees. Nene should be able to finally get some extra rest with a less packed schedule. Wall is finding his grove and driving more. The team has added pick and roll to the offense and Wall and Gortat are getting in sync. Trevor A and Webster are currently both starting which works well while Beal is out. Ves may have actually found a FT shooting form that works. Randy is learning to do better rotations and trying to instill focus on staying with the passing offense for an entire game vs reverting to one on one hero ball.
Maynor is so little of the story it doesn't really matter much to me. Wall is playing 40 plus minutes. Maynor can play better and I think he will as the team gels and he get time of the floor with better players. Yeah he looks like crap at times and they can upgrade that position, but its not happening right now. Just not a big deal right now with so much more going on. I feel pretty confident Maynor will get more efficient over the next 5 games or so.
For this team, right now, I would still rather have Maynor over Mack. They needed some new blood at that position and for now they are trying Maynor. I'm ok with them trying that. Still to early to say it was a terrible move. I want to see another 10 games to see how the team settles in if they keep winning.
