Give it some time... If the team continues with this level of execution and "want to", we are going to be a tough game all season and we will get plenty of Ws.

I love the mentality and intensity that the team has now. It will be interesting to see what results from from the trade deadline and the impact, if any, that has on the team.

If we lose KO, could be a big factor in the execution of that second unit.
 
One of the things I am glad about is Hardy has helped me feel vindicated that Quin didn't try enough stuff to fix our issues. Hardy taking a zone and box and 1 and using them as weapons is hilarious. Its more nuanced but these are basic rec league strategies (at their heart) and are better than "hey leave a 40% corner three shooter wide open in the corner because you want to rely on one player to do the most important defensive job AND recover... while others funnel players that way".

Trying a zone for like 5 minutes in the regular season and having it not work doesn't count.

Quin was plenty creative early on. He just lost his flexibility as time went by. Do you remember when he tried having players guard Harden by staying behind him to stop the step back 3?

Let's hope Hardy remains flexible.

Yes I remember that. He copied his coaching dad with that one. It was somewhat effective in slowing Harden. I just remember saying we should go to some sort of zone for a couple years... even if its just a change up. Quin had his thing that worked and would only adjust within that thing... DL is a bit guilty too in not providing more/better options.

Hardy does some stuff that makes me a little crazy here and there but I'm okay with experimenting and having failure. And yes... when we are more established I hope he continues to be flexible.
