    When Joe Johnson played... it was very slow.

    Yes, the pace was better. We attacked quicker, Harden & CP3 started to get into the lane with more determination to make something happen, tried to get into the offense faster, but mostly in the 2nd half. We can still do better, so that leaves room for optimism :)

    The main difference that I saw...was when we chose to attack each possession. Early on in the game, we weren't getting into our pick and role sets until about 10 seconds on the shot clock. It gave us very few choices with what to do with the ball, and the Wolves were able to zone in one one or two options.

    In the third, we got into those pick and roll/pop sets around 14-15 seconds in the the shot clock, and were able to make that -extra pass- when Harden did kick it out. That was huge in my opinion.

    You’re an elite couch coach who knows more than the clueless coaching staff right? U should be watching the game and should know the answer.

    We just proved tonight that a 200 point game is possible.

    If this was boxing, the refs would have stopped the fight in the 3rd. It’s that dominant.

    I believe this is what kids in this day and age call a “b****slap”.
