    ISO was the engine for a historically great offense last season

    The offense sucks at the early start of the season, but we all know it will get much better as the season goes on.

    D’antoni is doing what works

    Also shout out to Harden. He delivered big down the stretch on both ends.

    Offensively, I'm really happy to see him diversify how he's shooting some of his 3's now. Last game he did a one dribble pull up off a screen, and this game he took a one dribble to the side for the easier shot. He's always been capable of these type of shots but I've only seen the latter used once last year.

    Defensively, we all know Harden is way better in post defense than guarding the perimeter. For some reason these bigs don't scout that his go-to move is the reach around from behind on their second post dribble or so haha. But he also got a CLUTCH strip on Oladipo towards the end. Props.

    Yeah his free throws have also been frustrating too. He used to be money on them, with a few hiccups here and there.

    He needs a reliable backup. Unfortunately MCW isn't that guy.

    Mike was quoted recently saying he hates iso.

    But he believes in the numbers.

    The Pacers are a solid team and we beat them on the road, that's a quality win.

    Team still doesn't look close to where we want it, but we're making progress.

    Yo shout out to Melo, he was also pretty good tonight. I'm really pleased with what he brought us this game.

    I was glad to see how many players contributed down the stretch.
    It wasn't just James and Chris.
    Melo hit some shots, Clark got some key Reb's, Ennis with the block in the corner and CLUTCH 3
    Gotta keep this going

    Too many turnovers, but the hustle made up for it. Nice W.

    The good news is, he's still contributing. The only way to go is UP from here
    and when he does, we will be dangerous

    Lol, no. Harden and cp3 were the engine, not ISO’s.

    Let’s see Tucker, ennis run isos and see how great that works.

    lol, Harden and CP3 were the ones out there doing all the ISOing...

    ISO and PnR from Harden and CP3, plus spamming threes...ISO was a huge part of what we do and it led to a historically great offense...
