Its early in the season but I've never seen so much unity, support and watching each other's back in my long history of watching our teams. They cheer every shot, huddle up to communicate, talk excessively to each other during play, fight each other to pick up a fallen comrade, bench is fully engaged, no one pouting being taken out the game and sitting on the bench, all players on the floor are always active, encouraging each other after mistakes (this game we had a lot), Coach jubilantly cheering his players on and running on the floor (timeout called) to congratulate a hustling effort, no one is bigger than the team, complete unselfishness, no egos or cockiness, no arguing or mean looks to each other, etc... I could go on, but I have to go to work in the morning.
This is not a Calhoun type team (always tough as nails fused with talent), Ollie team (undisciplined) but distinctively a Hurley (energizer) team. They have brought in and after this win they will all be subscribers. Hurley is making is own mark here and changing the culture while doing it. When he starts bringing in his recruits, and they'll come, this team will be on top again.
Bottom line; our culture is shifting, and its so delightful to see.
