I think it's more notable for the faster pace and dedicating time to the Finishing Five (last 5 minutes of the quarter. Monty was definitely treating the fully healthy team differently than the BRob lead Pelicans.

He was only averaging around 26 MPG in that stretch, but like I said, hopefully that genie is out of the bottle.

He was also battling the ankle injury during that stretch.

No one knows what is going on with Ryno and his ability to get back. Without Ryno, the pace and five don't exist. Before we were essentially forced to tinker, our team was averaging an awfully low number of threes.

Yet you brought up the record. Let's say that the team is healthy and goes 9-6. That's a 0.600 winning percentage and puts you at 49 wins. That is currently good for 7th in the Western conference right now and only 1 game ahead of 8th.

Again, I am happy to see the play improved all around and especially Davis and Evans' development, but I can't realistically give Monty much credit here. Even if it were something he figured out, look at how long it took him. What happens next season when he has to re-mesh the starters all together?
