Part of it but Ellis was starting most of it
Fox played the first 3 games of that winning streak. So, Fox-Monk/ (Keon started for injured Keegan in Grizz game.. gave up 133)
117.6 ORtg
109.3 DRtg
Then Monk-Keon for the next 3 games:
115.8 ORtg
100.3 DRtg
Then as you said the D rtg the last 3 games, with missing 1 Monk game and Keon gets hurt. But, 121.6 ORtg over the last 3 games too
What's all this mean? Honestly, probably nothing because we're just picking random 3-game samples with a variety of different guys hurt and out of the lineup. But you put all 9 of those games together under the Christie era and after that Laker game:
8-1
118.3 ORtg (4th)
110.5 DRtg (9th)
+7.8 Net Rtg (4th)
Christie's pulling all the right levers and he's using this very talented and good roster as intended and we're seeing the results. You can fake a turn-around for a couple games. It's starting to get to the sample now where we can start believing this team is actually good and has the right guy in charge.
