Agree and what makes me even happier about it all is that you mentioned 'fun.' For a long time people thought Cuonzo ball would be boring ball but now that we see his system run properly and at a high level we know better. I never thought fundamental ball had to be boring as some people argued but I was worried that Martin's system might be too vanilla so I'm definitely glad to see this style produce ball that is fun to watch.

I'm in my mid 20s and have played point most of my life. Mostly in a run and gun/press/transition game offense like what Coach P and UL run. Admittedly, I hated watching Cuonzo ball because of the pace and half court sets on both sides of the court. It just didn't register as enjoyable basketball to me. Now that we've got a glimpse with the last 9-10 games on how this offense and defense are supposed to operate it's been like the clouds parting and the sun finally coming through. Granted, it's not the style of play I would coach but It is effective when done the right way. It's great to see the guys rally and play how we all knew they were capable of.
