Now you just made me yearn for a Tatum-Olynyk P&R, what has the world come to

Mannix contributes approximately nothing.

At least he stays quiet, so he doesn't detract either.

Spurs look like a better team than their record would suggest -- and I don't think it's just because we're making them look good.

A smart move would be to not run those pick and rolls and use someone other than tinelord to set screen (grant, schroder, richardson, romeo...literally any other player on the floor)

Hope the late 3rd quarter free throws get Tatum going. Also, hope no more double bigs.

Maybe Ime's trying to gift Pop a win though?

Spurs are very young.. If they had a player like R Williams I bet they would be really good.

Start Tatum in the 4th, bench Brown and then bench Tatum for a stretch before bringing him in.

Let Brown play the last 8 minutes

Schroo coming alive would help.

Bulling your way to the basket with Rob standing right there seems like a high-percentage attack to me.

That said, I wondered why on the next possession Tatum was taking a floater with Rob nowhere around ... and Rob rebounded the miss even so.

Schroder and Tatum taking turns is not the way to go

Triple7 · Post #315 » by **Triple7** » Thu Jan 6, 2022 2:18 am

Rob needs to have an offense on his own. He had the rebound inside already. Could have been an easy hook, instead he was looking to get rid of the ball fast. Lol

Timelord needs to get closer to Murray. He gives him too much space.
