    Absolutely.

    The trio to make a deep run is good to great guard play. Check

    Good at the stripe. Check

    Defense. Meh

    I'd like to see us improve at defeating zone as well. Gotta go inside to naz or Bigby then back out but we will see.

    I’m glad we’re driving the lane and distributing...was a bit concerned yesterday when waters was out. we have a bad tendency to watch smart create and stand around

    Yesterday Smart turned into a scoring machine during the time Waters was out but his don't fall like that every game. I would think about using Skylar Mays at the point whenever Waters takes a break.

    I wonder if we’re playing rope-a-dope with Naz, because he just disappears and reappears.

    It really seems like it. Like he will have 4 in the first half then 20 in the second. Either it's by design or he's one of those guys that waits to see what the rest of the team does. If they aren't producing or the game is close he will start to be more aggressive.

    On the flip side it could be that teams are trying to take him away early and that allows the guards to get going. Then they adjust and it allows him more room to operate.

    This team can really kill you inside and out. Extremely fun to watch not knowing which one is going to go off in a particular game.

    Our basketball team’s success has made me interested the big picture again. Hadn’t really followed b-ball since the Shaq and Jackson days.

    I've liked Will Wade since the day we hired him. I just liked the way he talked about the game. That said, many coaches talk a good game. WW is the real deal as a recruiter and as an X's and O's coach. He got a top 5 recruiting class and appears to be getting most out of them as well. Can't wait to see what kind of run we make this year. Haven't missed watching a game this year so far.
