so much already said about John....the onions, the stroke, the FT shooting, etc.

I think the big difference in his play the last two games is first and foremost mental. He is using much better judgment. Early in the season when he thought he saw a lane he drove hellbent to the hoop, most often with less than desirable results. The last two games he is doing more probing. He feints to the hoop and if he doesn't see a clear lane then he has shown the ball control and speed to just back away. Also, once he does commit to a drive he is suddenly using his body to draw contact and get the foul. Also, seems to me he is showing a quicker release on his three point shot, that is probably just a function of confidence and not hesitating to take it.

All in all, it is simply amazing the way that John has stepped it up. Can't expect the spectacular every game from him, but there is no reason he shouldn't average 15 & 8 the rest of the way, he has enough talent to get that done.
