It's probably a bit early to make hard conclusions, but my current takeaway is about fit and synergy. I thought that would be a problem before the season, to be transparent, so there might be some confirmation bias at work here. I admit it. But, I'm sorry, I just do not think it's a coincidence that they found a way to win down the stretch of the game Dinwiddie was ejected from. In a separate but related point, I also don't think it's a coincidence that THJ's first good game of the entire season happened on his second night in the starting lineup.
Actually, when Dinwiddie went out the team looked completely lost. I think the biggest reasons we won that game was that we got an extra 5 minutes of Luka god mode with Din out (not something we can continually repeat) and Green finished the game (something we can repeat).
I agree its not surprising that Timmy played better when starting. I wonder if a similar confidence boost would help Wood out of his recent funk. I wonder if we will ever find out.
