In 21 minutes, Anderson is 0 of 4 from the field, has only scored one point and has four rebounds. He knows heās not been playing like himself and is bothered by his postseason start. āIām just not playing well,ā Anderson said. āThatās just what it is. I shot the shots when I was open. I just didnāt make them. And Iām not doing anything else. Itās kind of getting to me that I canāt help my team. I got to figure out something. Whether itās defense, offensive rebounds or making shots. I donāt know. I got to help my team somehow. Itās eating at me that I canāt help my team.ā
After occupying the defense, Aldridge found Anderson in the corner for an open 3-pointer. As he always does, Anderson took his time unloading the shot in Game 2 against the Golden State Warriors. It was an airball. Aldridge knew his teammate was frustrated and tried to help. āI just said, āIf youāre open again, shoot,āā said Aldridge. āBut mainly just play basketball.ā
But Spurs center Pau Gasol feels Andersonās confidence appears shaken. He saw Aldridge speak with Anderson during Game 2 and offered a bit more advice to assist the 24-year-old forward in turning things around. āDonāt second guess yourself,ā said Gasol. āDonāt hesitate. Try to contribute and get yourself going. Even if a shot or two doesnāt go down, donāt let that affect you. Get ready for the next play.ā
Tim Bontemps: Gregg Popovich says Rudy Gay is going to start in place of Kyle Anderson. “Not that Kyle did anything wrong. Just something we are going to do.”
