Has Woody Changed?

Woody has changed for all the reasons above by Hoops and others. It's a good change and I'm hoping he keeps it up so the Hawks can move on to the next level. It sucks that Josh has to be out for an extended period because I want to see the Hawks vs Celtics match up at their house and see how far the Hawks have gone.

edit: I just want to add that Zaza only have two fouls in the first half when Jones came in for Josh (IIRC), then Jones continue to play until he goes out for Horford. This is unimaginable with Woody of old; Solo have played like he did whenever he has minutes... he played like that in the playoff last season also but got pulled out as soon as possible. He played like that toward the end of his rookie season also. This year he has gotten the trust of Woody... Woody seems to be trusting his young players more this season.

Never mind my comment earlier, I just saw the post elsewhere that gives Woodson the most credit for the record. While I think he's improved, I have trouble with that much credit. The players on the court are doing it defensively and with focus. The only time they've come out flat is the home opener, but they stayed with it for a big comeback. And when they've built big leads they withstood the inevitable run by the opponent and put things away in the 2nd half of games.
