The Spurs are 10-20 from 3 and only up 3. That's a good sign because they won't shoot that well in the second half.

Kcp- 15 min 0 points
Goga- 15 min 0 points
TDS - 9 min 3 points
Gary- 7 minutes 0 points

strictly speaking just offense.... that's 4 rotation players only 3 points between them

Paolo has been exposed so many times on D tonight. Hopefully he can find another gear at halftime.

Spurs are going to start missing shots. They are on a back to back.

We have loss so many games watching Paolo trying to shoot his way out of this slump. Someone need to tell him to knock it off and pass the ball. Franz has it going tonight. Franz deferred all last season, Paolo need to return the favor until he gets into better shape and he can lead with him.

Goga is playing Wembanyama well.

Just need to force some more missed 3s and we should be good in the second half.
Keep attacking the paint.

He’s been downright terrible on both sides of the ball. Those midrange jumpers are garbage when there is zero flow to the offense. They’re giving him space and he’s doing exactly what the Spurs want him to do instead of attacking the paint.

They won’t stop missing if we won’t guard the 3 point line.

Franz is going to have to guard Barnes

Gary is a wash, he doesn’t do anything offensively but the other 3 need to try and find their shot. Hopefully they can take it away from Paolo.

Nah, Paolo needs to learn how to do something more than just play iso ball and hunt for fouls. He needs to learn how to play off the ball. Needs to learn how to pick and roll. Needs to learn how to play defense. Just needs to learn how to round out his game.

When his shots aren’t falling all these things become more glaring. When they are falling it’s easy to forget because he can be unstoppable.


Well yeah... but we are raggin eyriq in regards to AB here not Paolo


:lol:

My bad. Carry on.

But you picked a bad night when AB has 10 points on a perfect 4-4 including a 3 and a FT, plus a bazillion deflections.

Man, we really need a scorer in the backcourt, not a spot up shooter.

Yep. There is no one that anyone fears in our back court. Bunch of one dimensional shooters who can't shoot
