Pretty good start here ....is it just me or does it seem like EVERYBODY has stepped up their game since the trade ??

Chalk the attendance up to being a Monday night and the day after the Super Bowl. I think the two games prior are reflective of the type of increase we can expect to see going forward. With that said, it is disappointing to see the lack of support with the team moving to a new arena downtown. People want to wait for the team to be "good" before showing up to games but don't realize the direct correlation. Teams feed off the energy of a packed stadium which leads to more wins.

You are absolutely correct. Guys are shooting lights out from 3 and sharing the ball like we've never seen. You can see the renewed confidence in guys like SJ and Bullock and its contagious. They're not even missing Tobias or Bradley. Guys are really picking up the slack and AD is playing with that energy level on both ends of the floor. Let's hope they can keep this energy level up and play consistently the rest of the way. No more of these 7 and 8 game losing streaks.
