    Did not build good connection with any traditional center including Tyson and Harty, not just Clint.

    I was actually heartened that Russ and entire team were shooting 3P much more efficiently when Harden played.

    yep, good point. Felt to me like he was looking to drive hard every time and the pass to the roller was the backup if he couldn’t get a shot off or kick out. And by that time the defense has already collapsed just meaning more bodies in the paint.

    Good stuff! This is the fun aspect to think about, and I agree with that side of the ball. It's our extreme rebounding issues that I'm not sure are going to be fixed this season. We were by far the worst team in the league during the small-ball portion, and it's going to be hard to overcome that. Maybe more offensive production will lead to better energy on the boards, we'll see!
