I'm really pleased about the recent change in style of play, i.e., (1) Everybody playing defence, (2) Demar moving the ball..... for an entire game.
I just hope it's sustainable with DD for now, and more importantly, when Lowry gets back. At times, Lowry and DD tend to lose trust in their teammates and go into buddy ball / hero mode, which also sabotages their perimeter defense. I've been saying all along that as soon as Kyle and DeMar start to play defense, the rest of the team will follow. Thanks PJ for delivering that message.
If the team can sustain ball movement as a regular part of the offense, I believe that the shooters will get into a rhythm with consistent touches, be alert and make shots more consistently. It's just common sense. It will take some pressure off Lowry and DD to create and they will be able to win games with their defense, like DeMar is showing. This team has a lot of weapons.
