Assists in the last 5 wins - 17, 27 (this is where Tyreke the Distributor started), 28, 26, 30.

Eric Gordon is playing his best basketball in NOLA.

Pondexter's veteran leadership has been even more important than his on court play, and Davis has alluded to as much.

Ryno is shooting 44% in the last 5, but more importantly 46% from 3 (12 of 26).

quote:
Or are you saying you think it is Holiday's absence that has made the team better?

Absolutely not. Holiday running the second unit with Pondexter and Anderson brings our bench from crap to fairly decent. To think we are playing extremely well without him. If he can come back and contribute 25-30 minutes a night off the bench (I don't want to wear him down and I think that will allow him to go balls to the wall as well), this team will be a team that no one will want to see in the playoffs. Except for GSW, they are a match-up nightmare.

I don't disagree with anything you said. But I'm not seeing how competent role players (better defense, more ball and off ball movement, etc) and playing at home aren't the driving forces of of this stretch of good play. The home/road splits alone are staggering.

Or are you looking at it more stylistically? With the ball movement etc? I'm no super Holiday fan either. Just curious, SP.
