FWIW... I think we've done a much better job running the ball intelligently (no idea if our pace has improved at all), using off ball screens, generally getting away from the weave/handoffs constantly. Seems to me like we're using more off ball action and just using more ball reversals and cutting. Post entries have improved too.

Settling into a rotation that mostly excludes Josh/Adams, and getting Adama and Jackson more minutes has been huge as well. I wouldn't have stuck with Polley as long as coach did, but it was clearly worth the investment through January and February when he had some real clunkers. He must have practiced well all along and just needed some confidence.

I think our defense is still better than our offense, even if that's not true technically by the stats. Eye test tells me we're an elite defensive team, reboudning team, and a very good (not elite) offensive team. We have an elite offensive player, and some pieces we're getting the best out of at the right time. We've had so many games in the past month that we've been WAY ahead in, that that tends to make your defense look worse in the end.
