    Offense was moving fluid the first half when he was in the low post


    For some reason we decided to move him up to catch a pass at the 3pt line and then burn 18 seconds off the shot clock every play

    Looking back to the 3rd Q this is when the collapse started. Insane to keep trying this when we had such good ball movement initially.

    Based off all the losses we have recently, Ime tends to change things up when things are working. I feel like he wants to prove a point that his plays work even when they don't. I imagine that his staff asks him to move away from that specific play and he humors them by letting it run for the first few quarters

    maybe it’s all dreams fault. every other center (centerpiece) in this franchise does the same stuff, except yao, soft AF but a deadly touch

    Spurs stopped guarding Amen in the 2nd half, Wemby was doubling everything

    didn't help that amen got scared and stop taking the mid range around the FT line area

    he was looking for KD and sengun whenever spurs don't guard him

    Yeah, but if Amen stands outside the 3 pt line, Wemby can't camp the paint.

    So id Alpy then gets low block against a smaller defender he should be able to score...

    He was looking over his shoulders waiting for the Wemby help. Which came and swatted everything.

    It's a coach's job to adjust to the other team's adjustments. Ime is plain clueless.
