SL Game 2: DAL vs SA @ 3:00cst on ESPN

[SleepingHero]

There we go Coop!!!!!!!

Its crazy he can do all the hard stuff but the wide open easy stuff is just short for him right now.

[SleepingHero]

They are smacking and grabbing Coop like crazy. Glad he finally got a call there.

[HoosierDaddyKid]

Jones-Garcia is a bucket. Check that man.

[SleepingHero]

Lid on the rim. So many easy rim outs.

[SleepingHero]

Spurs defense is legit. Carter Bryant is a maestro.

Basically everyone can't get a shot off reliably besides Flagg.

[KillerLeft]

Interesting that the strategy for SA/Harper there on that last possession was to get Nembhard switched off and Flagg switched on to create the final shot. Flagg gave a good contest, so I'm not sure it was smart, but at least it's a notch in the "maybe Nembhard isn't too small" column.

[SleepingHero]

Flagg hits the 3!

[Mavs2021]

That #36 is seriously stupid.

[SleepingHero]

Flagg's ability to draw fouls is fantastic.

[SleepingHero]

Flagg' is clearly trying to do too much at times. Like he hesitated 3 times that last possession. Should've just taken the 3 in rhythm

Yes, it's very clear he's being asked to do things out of his comfort zone, and with guys he's not used to playing with. There have been several situations where he made weird decisions on screens. He's rejected some he should've taken, and vice versa, and at times looks like he's second guessing himself. 

But the only thing even mildly concerning is the 1-3 on free throws, and even that is only a sample size of 3.

[SleepingHero]

Wow see. When Flagg is collected and in rhythm he looks so smooth.

[KillerLeft]

That middy pull up from the elbow looked decisive and effortless.

[KillerLeft]

First bad decision I've seen him make in transition there.

[KillerLeft]

Then, he makes a great fake hand off and nice pass for a shot that got bricked, unfortunately!

[SleepingHero]

That middy pull up from the elbow looked decisive and effortless.

That blow by into a cross court pass for the open 3 also looked decisive and effortless. Didn't force a contested layup and found a wide open 3.

It's even better than that, I think. He knew when he didn't hand the ball off that the help defender would meet him on the baseline as a result. He was probably only reading wing vs. corner there. That's not rookie stuff (though he has looked like a rookie at times).

[SleepingHero]

Only the 2nd bad pass I've seen Nemby throw.

[KillerLeft]

Nice work there, presenting himself as a target and then drawing the foul.

[SleepingHero]

Spurs are SO physical. And it looks like everyone but Bryant are unable to defend without fouling.
