Agreed. It also confirmed the thoughts/critiques of Giannis fans who've been wanting to see him play smarter and within the teamscheme. Giannis played fantastic because he played within the flow of the offense, feeding his teammates, and not doing it all singlehandedly because his teammates were feeding him -- some of those spectacular sequences involved AJJ and the youngsters and I get the feeling we'll be seeing more of that
New coaching has helped. People complained about Giannis playing PG, but we've added a simple action of Brook or Bobby simply screening there own man, and Giannis runs his defender in to the screened player, creating another screen, and ending with a dunk or layup. Giannis at PG remains phenomenal, yet no mention of this from the, "Giannis should never bring the ball up" crowd.
The fact that a 7' dude is the most productive pick and roll ballhandler in the league is mind blowing.
