I guess if we ignore the fact that he actually hit a shot after he was inserted that's the case.  But we really shouldn't ignore that now should we.

Clearly you are ignoring everything but that shot now aren't you. You know, the part where he was 1 for 6 after Markus came back after being on fire with Markus on the bench. Selective ignoring. Nice

Not ignoring it at all.  In fact I addressed it already - he cooled off.   I'm not going to blame it on a lack of confidence when Markus came back into the game when there really is no evidence that's the case at all.

The evidence of Sam playing better with Markus out isn't just limited to last night. It's clear he defers to Markus. Most times he should. Most times that works out. I Sam's uncertainty as a product of wanting to be assertive but feeling like he should defer. It lead to uncharacteristically bad shot selection. But I have no issues whether you agree or not
