    That 'and one' drive and dunk from Harkless was sublime. We need more of that kind of slashing to the hoop.

    That's what has been missing from this team for such a long time. We used to have guys who, with their lack of dribbling skills, couldn't beat grandma off of the dribble.
    So this development increases our offensive versatility and dangerousness. Great for the team and great for the viewer. Win-Win.

    Yep. We're getting more easy baskets this year.

    I am not certain which drive you mention but I remember him making that drop step move so lighting fast he was at the rim before anyone could move. He reminds me of James Worthy of Laker your.

    Too early to say much about us other than we're surprisingly decent so far. Once people have more film on us they will be able to play off of our strengths and weaknesses better, and we will then get to see what this team is made of.

    I'm having a lot more fun watching this team than I thought I'd have though!
