Dang, Dante Exum is still in the league?

I think commentator said 'back' in the league. Seems like with new CBA teams will be looking outside the box for second (third?) chances on the cheap. Hope he sticks. Good to see him back.


Makes sense, I didn't know he was playing in Europe.

1ST Q: SPURS 43 MAVS 36

Ok so it's a shootout. Nerves and energy all around.

GREAT CROWD. Can't say enough how much it means to us to see a full building cheering our beloved Spurs on.

Wemby's not trying to do too much, just getting his feet wet, spreading the floor. Got caught on a couple of fouls - the book on him for this game is to be physical and go right on him.

But the Wemby gravity is creating great looks for others. Devin absolutely cooking with 10 on 4-7. Love it. He's driving some, too, love it.

You can see we've been working on some plays - lots of bounce passes (11 assists), great cuts, and fast movement.

We do need to run back on D better, settle in on both ends, make sure we're disciplined on D, and make the most of our shots. Missed bunnies grrr. Let's make those. Let's settle in and channel the energy the right way.

Didn't like us getting Mal stuck on Luka. They're hunting guys to focus on on D, and luckily we got out of it, but yeah, let's the right guys on the right guys.

How can I put this nicely - we are FAR TOO POLITE defending Luka. Not advocating dirty plays, just harder, tougher, take up his space, and if he is going to shoot it, make him feel it.

I know he's a load, and he'll get his calls, but we have to put a body on him.

Half way through the 2ND Q, and we only have ONE assist so far. Oof.

Sochan's finishing is unpolished. Leaving everything front of rim. At least third missed gimme.

Also, not loving Wemby resorting to taking 3s, be it from his positioning or us missing him in the post.

Malaki is a **** ball hog. Tunnel vision. Bad.

We're unraveling a bit here. Branham has to learn to **** PASS.

Much better ball movement there.

Honestly, I really enjoy what Zach brings to this team. Good pass.

Branham is good in transition. If he has to **** keep a play running in half court the first, second, and third default is 'shoot'.

And LMAO at Pop with the menacing sideline look at Branham for that dumb TO pass. **** the tunnel vision our of your ass, Malaki.

Yes, great pass! Announcers mentioned it but pretty much ho hummed it.
Imagine if Doncic or Irving or even Wemby made that pass? They would be spewing all over themselves about how great it was :lol:

GREAT work by Zach on the low block. Footwork, balance, physicality, touch. Bucket.
