My observations:
1) If clutch-Luka with post ups and midrange game becomes a thing, the world might explode.
2) The trio of Kleber, J-Rich and DFS next to Luka and a big man is just too good to be true. When KP comes back, that´s a starting 5 with no holes anymore (if DFS and Josh hit their shots) - championship calibre if you ask me
3) The locked on guys put it very well: Kleber is a wing. That´s so true and we should play him like a 3-D-wing just like yesterday. No more C for Maxi.
4) I didn´t expect WCS to be so effective against Jokic. Don´t really know, where that came from.
5) I like having Brunson out there next to Luka for some stretches. Would experiment with that a bit more. The playmaking without Luka is atrocious so far. Neither Brunson nor THJ can run the show like JJB did for years.
6) I love Powell´s attitude. He embraces his role and is effective in it.
7) Most importantly: Our defense in the first half was incredibly good. We would have been down by 30 last season, if we had struggled like that on offense. Where do all these steals come from suddenly? This year 10th in the NBA with 8.8 steals per game. Last season 29th with 6.1. That´s speaking volumes about our approach and personal.
