What really changed this team wasn't Jrue coming back

Don't get me wrong, jrue has been huge, but Galloway playing offball instead of onball has completely changed this team. He was terrible with the ball in his hands, forcing bad long 2s but off ball he has been lights out shooting.

Isnt Holiday returning the reasoning for the improvement you just listed in Galloway?

Going back before Jrue came back
6 of the last 8. Jrue only played 4

I mean Galloway has been huge but everyone has played better since Jrue came back. Frazier talked last night about how much Holiday helps him. AD looks legit happy for once this year. The reasoning for running off 4 straight in this fashion is definitely about Holiday.

Is anyone worried about tyreke coming in and ruining ball movement and tempo with his style of play? The whole team looks better but I guess that tends to happen when you're winning

If we get good Reke, no.
Bad Reke would suck so fricking bad right now.

why does anyone actually think Reke is going to just have completely changed his low IQ style of play?

Because we have seen good Reke. He does exist.

People said before Holiday returned that it'd be him shifting guys into their natural roles that helped as much as the production he brings on his own.
If you really want to dig deep into the whys of the wins
There are 96 guard minutes per game. In the last 4 games:
Holiday is averaging 25:30
Frazier is averaging 34:13
Galloway is averaging 23:45
Moore is averaging 24:01
Buddy is averaging 9:00
That's 116 Guard minutes or 20 minutes of a 3 guard rotation where neither Cunningham or Hill are playing SF. Ajinca has 4 DNPs in the last 4 games. That's what's really changed this team, Gentry is putting the best players out there regardless of position or salary and it's working.

The reason is because Ajinca has not played
I think it is just as simple as Jrue is that good and calms everybody down. He comes in and settles it all down plus he can. Guard the 1 the 2 and a 3 on switches.

It's pretty much all of that and gentry is putting these guys in spots to succeed. So can we give uncle al a little credit

He's actually managed that while forcing rotational minutes for a struggling rookie. How he handles Evans may make or break him here.

Exactly, so right now the message to tyreke will be "either good tyreke or bench tyreke.. you decide which one you want to be"
Posted on 11/24/16 at 10:34 am to chesty
Agree . Good reke could make us a playoff team

holiday defending up a position has been transformative
Posted on 11/24/16 at 12:36 pm to cgrand
If Jrue keeps this up, I'm all for a paid Holiday

I bailed on the Pels last year about December but I am getting back on the bandwagon recently. They are fun to watch

also do not discount omer asik's recent play as a factor
his confidence looks like it's back and he's doing a good job inside without fouling
not sure what the deal was last year but he looked unhappy and distant the whole time
now you can see the team encouraging him and it's reflected in his play
