The spacing is really bad. Murray and Anderson aren't really threats from outside a certain area, and Green is in such a funk

so i've been watching bball casually for years, and this is probably a stupid question, but how do they determine who has to inbound the ball after a made basket?

[bklynspursfan]

Looked like he kinda fainted but idk. Very strange, hopefully he's ok

This Fox guy, like all fast and young PG's would've tore Porker and Fatty to shreds. Let's hope Murray keeps him contained.

[r0drig0lac]

[Darius Bieber]

so i've been watching bball casually for years, and this is probably a stupid question, but how do they determine who has to inbound the ball after a made basket?

What exactly do you mean? It's always the opposing team, and anyone from the opposing team can inbound the ball. Normally the PG (Parker, Murray, Mills) will hand it off to a big man to inbound it so that the primary ball handler will have the ball going up the court. If the other team is running full court pressure, your best passer will be inbounding the ball. I guess for the Spurs, it's Kyle Anderson if he's in the game.

[phxspurfan]

This Fox guy, like all fast and young PG's would've tore Porker and Fatty to shreds. Let's hope Murray keeps him contained.

he's exactly like Parker was about 15 years ago. Once he develops a J he's going to be damn near unstoppable

[pgardn]

so i've been watching bball casually for years, and this is probably a stupid question, but how do they determine who has to inbound the ball after a made basket?

Usually the closest man to the ball or a big with the PG always coming towards the baseline to accept the inbound. If it's crucial and you know the other team will press, then you have a play worked out usually involving a screen and your best guy at seeing the court and getting it in quickly. Preferably taller but away from directly under the basket because the backboard can hinder a long pass to an open man. And you can travel with the ball out of bounds after a made basket.

[TheGreatYacht]

29 points in a quarter. It'll do considering Green and Anderson attributed a combined 0 points.

[Spurtacular]

he's exactly like Parker was about 15 years ago. Once he develops a J he's going to be damn near unstoppable

Dat burst of speed to the rim was Westbrook-like. I never really seen him before that, so I'm not making an outright comparison.

No Kawhi. He's the team remember.

[pgardn]

thanks :toast

The full court pressing off the inbound usually works much better in college and HS. It's fairly perfunctory in the NBA to bring the ball in after a made basket, except if you have to foul or need to steal the inbound near the end of the game if you are in striking distance with the score.

And you are welcome.

[Hoops Czar]

Just like old times Ginobili. The man that keeps on giving, literally.

Well Spurs continue to falter. I’ll hope we come out in the third with some anger!

[spurs10]

Didn't know there was a game lol Neither did the Spurs!

[Chinook]

Pop has lost the team.

I still contend that there's something going on in that locker room. It could be the guys tuning out Pop. It could be one or more disgruntled players. It could be something not specifically related to Pop or the players that we don't know about (like someone in the organization dying or something). But yeah, the team just doesn't seem to have chemistry anymore. 2012 pre-deadline all over again.

[cd98]

Fox is a blur. Ahhh that was Tony Parker 8 years ago. Just watching our line up to close the quarter and 12 years ago that line up would be a championship team. Now it’s giving up a lead to the Sacramento Kings.

[Hoops Czar]

Didn't know there was a game lol

That's what most player fans would say after the 1st half.

It's just been a mentally draining year for these guys. So many injuries, guys in and out the lineup. Surely there's some frustration. Maybe some angst with the Kawhi reports but who knows. I doubt guys are tuning out Pop. If they were, they wouldn't be playing. Too much vet presence in that locker room.
