  • That's turrible
Between last night and the Sixers game, we've been moving the ball around A LOT. So many open looks. It looks like we've already stepped up a bit between our own guys improving and Horford being Horford. That's a big difference I've noticed in this team's game already. Love the unselfishness.

I agree.  They are whipping the ball around really well.

The ball movement does look nice, but most teams play free and easy in the preseason.  We will see how things look when it's the 4th quarter and the score is 80-85 with five minutes left in the game.

The play where everybody touched it, then just when you thought IT was going to take the shot, he fires it to Crowder in the corner for a more open 3.  That was beautiful.

here it is, starts at 0:25. it even started off a bad pass from avery before amir got it back
I could very well see the Hawks... starting Taurean Prince at the 3, who is already better than Crowder, imo.

you vs. the guy she tells you not to worry about

That shows the importance of having a passing/playmaking big in the starting lineup. Haven't had that for awhile.

It's also incredible how comfortable/often Al is in bringing the ball up the court. IT is going to have to learn to deal with not always bringing the ball up the floor, because it'd just make us that much more dangerous in the open court.
