11 FGA and 8 of them were 3's

Would this be a GOAT coach error?

It’s a function of really only having Tre that can initiate. Anyone else will struggle, and we’ve seen that.

Jordan Poole?

What useful thing did GS get for Poole.

What useful thing did GS get for Poole.

Chris Paul. And also getting rid of Poole?

[tbdog]

Johnson was benched today after fouling Markkanen on a three point attempt in the first quarter. He didn't play again.

I mean sure Keldon was a step late getting over the screen, then made it worse by fouling

But what was the actual gameplan here? Deep drop coverage on a pindown screen against a 40% shooter from 3? Even if Keldon had played it perfectly you're giving Markannen a live dribble with his man on his back and Devin Vassell standing on the block as the only thing between him and the basket? Not to mention if the screener hadn't been trying to draw a foul, he'd be standing alone in the corner.

it is not clear what his ideal scenario was there, block a 7 footer over the body of an opponent, without jumping? That foul is legitimately brain dead

[ginobilized]

Keldon has seemed to be mentally unaware the past few games. His benching was probably a ulative response.
Who knows what Pop has been telling him and the team about fouling 3pt shooters. There seems to be something going on with KJ right now.

KJ was also awful defending three point shooting against the Lakers. he kept cheating and couldn't get back in time to defend, giving up great looks almost every time.

Pop's new shtick Like the rest of the team plays any better
