This yr
Seems like in recent years, players tried to play hard to prove that they were each a good player, but then most seemed worried about just being capable--the offense then seemed too stagnant and deliberate and often ended up with bad 1 on 1 matchups at the end of the shot clock. Already this year there's a little buzz like players are playing hard because there's an urgency to prove as a team that they can all be better and better if they continually put in the intensity. And they have a great ability to rotate energy into the game. It's great to see.
