Guy Who Never Responds
The reality is the Spurs played Man to Man defense for the entire game, and Zion looked like an out of shape rookie
Pop wanted to see how Zion played versus a zone defense.
He got hot for the 4 minutes the Spurs played zone, but it was mostly guys like Patty Mils defending him in the zone.
Pop had some crazy notion to give the rookie a look at zone with the smallest defenders guarding the 3.
It was a stupid look, and it almost cost the SPurs....gave away free points from the 3 point line.
The Spurs immediately went back to man defense and won the rest of the way.
When we look back on history, no one will care about that little detail.
But, it is a detail that other coaches will test this season
