    More on the usage front




    The confidence he fired that with... different guy.


    Seeing him slotted as THE guy and not a spare body to fill out the starting 5 is a beautiful thing.

    Going to be hard for the media to ignore him this year.

    Right.

    Seems like such a no brainer but after watching multiple coaches not do it (especially Ham and co), I have to credit JJ for not overthinking things and actively trying to get the ball to his best player.

    This is probably the biggest change I've seen under Redick, and it's exactly what he said he would do - get AD more involved on offense. It's a beautiful thing to see. AD is peaking right now, playing some of the best B-ball we've seen from him and it's good to have a coaching staff who truly values that. I hope AD can stay healthy again like last year because the way he's playing and the coaching staff is making sure he gets the ball, we have a chance to win it all.

    Apparently the same amount of dumb that leads you to play Prince more than Giannis, Lillard, or anyone else on the team.

    Still nice to rewatch. Could be a nice callback to use in the future someday.

    Continues to feast. They had no answer for him. It went off the rails with that 4 guard lineup + him in the 2nd Q and it never fully got back to the level of humiliation we witnessed in the first Q.

    The plan



    Good company considering how unstoppable Shaq was at that time.

    With all due respect to AD, those were very very different 30pts and 10rbs.
