Thanks for the thoughtful reply. Believe me, his wtf moments also drive me crazy too. I know they happen, and he needs to improve on them for him/us to be great again this year.

I'm really encouraged from this sample size of 1, plus all the buzz from coaching and media observers who consistently say Samson looks much improved. He didn't get called for any moving screens, and if you go back and look at his fouls, 3 of them were truly suspect fouls. Yes, those will sometimes get called from game-to-game and you need to deal with them, but it's unlikely to get 3 of them consistently each game.

In the rewatch, I saw (and documented) many instances where last-year's Samson would have committed a silly foul. Encouragement that he didn't.

But yep, he absolutely needs to extend these improvements over multiple games before I'm 100% convinced too.

BTW, that annoying rebound Brown got over him at 08:07 that you refer to is kinda just a bad bounce. If you think Samson should've secure that rebound, your expectations may be a bit too high:

Cheers to more great discussions during the season!
