@Alphabizzle@william_lou 6’0 guard isn’t making that play to protect the middle. You need length to stop that pass. Flynn is in the right spot but lack of communication leads him to being stuck in no man’s land.
@Alphabizzle@william_lou Didn’t see the play in real time - I see Dowtin hesitate towards the middle Flynn is looking baseline at his man. He definitely gets caught in no man’s land but Siakam or Trent one of the two went rogue and both are chasing ball.
@Alphabizzle@william_lou Idk - looks like a missed assignment. No way you draw a trap that leaves the middle open like that. Someone is out of position - someone has to cover - you’ve got to communicate that coverage. Simple bust.
@Alphabizzle@william_lou Whether it’s Dowtin - Flynn or Pascal at fault - it still proves lack of communication - fundamental concept for a team to grasp especially defensively.
@EtrnlSunshine9@william_lou I hear you. It’s a bust- If Flynn is supposed to be at mid court that’s a bad mistake. Normally you don’t put your PG as the middle free safety in the trap - it’s a lack of communication regardless. If Pascal is taking Flynn’s spot they’ve got to communicate that.
@ekoreen Tough schedule in December. Magic were red hot when we got them.
Raptors aren’t bad they’ll be over .500 by end of January. Strength of schedule is a thing.
@jeskeets@jdon_jdon Our identity is transition D, fast break buckets, offensive rebounding, and 3pt shooting.
Shots haven’t been dropping and D hasn’t had a chance to gel. Injuries have limited the core.
Lots of teams are looking for shot blocking athletes which we have.
Raps need a shot maker
@jeskeets 1. Not happening
2. If you’re expecting Christian Wood, maybe.
3. No - that’s a senseless fold guaranteed to backfire. Instead play hard every game with the pieces you have, best thing for Scottie. Let Nurse manage rotation, minutes and offensive sets.
@iPlunks@william_lou No way that trade happens without Poeltl and the 1st Rd pick.
Who did the Spurs keep and decide to pay?
Spurs took Derozan to save face with the fan base because they were losing a big time closer in Kawhi.
@OrenWeisfeld Consider teams playing us give us their best - we get respect we ain’t the Pistons. We’re still scrappy you just have to acknowledge that we lost our volume scorers:
-Derozan (greatest trade)
-Kawhi (greatest stint)
-Kyle (greatest raptor - true snowbird)
@fallencube59@william_lou I hear you - we had 0 1st Rd picks that following year (Spurs got that - Keldon Johnson)
Hard to find quality bigs (Jaxson Hayes - Nic Claxton - Brandon Clarke) likely the best - not worth the reach.
We tried w/ Dewan Hernandez 2nd Rd. Some things just don’t work out.
