ANOTHER inbounds pass for a TO and a basket. Third one of the night.

I'm so tired and coming down with something. Hard to stay focused on this one...

2ND Q: SPURS 56 BLAZERS 71

Yeah nevermind about the D tonight. When we allow 71 points in a half, 42 this Q, it's obviously a sieve overall even if a couple of guys are doing good things individually.

I can't believe we ahve swung the other way with 3s. We went from bombing away indiscriminately to going away form it all together and are a 3-9 at the half compared to 9-16 from our opponents.

We are missing too many points in their paint and at the rim from not using glass properly, from not getting the right body and angles into defenders beforehand, from not getting enough FTs. We are 7-11 to their 10-12FTs.

We already have 11TOs, three of which have been from bad inbounds passes. It's shocking how low the IQ is from some of our players.

No one outside of Zach is efficient from our starters.

Keldon and Tre are holding the bench fort.

For all the flack I've given Devin, Sochan is only 0-2. Dude... be impactful.

Can we play like we mean it? Like we've played together before? Like we should - D-out, team-first, high IQ? Do these.

I just want smart basketball players who do fundamentals things and hustle. Is that too much to ask?

[G R E Y]

Zach catches an elbow. Foul on him lol

[G R E Y]

Devin drives and kicks out.

Devin gets a trailing pass from Sochan and pivots INTO two defenders.

His footwork is clumsy of late, and he looks heavy footed. Just not coordinated, like each of his limbs is doing its own thing.

[The Sebastian Express]

Hope Zach is okay. He's just so cursed when he's up here. I'm sorry.

[G R E Y]

WTF drive was that, Devin?!

Zach takes the brunt of a drive and was not available for our 4 on 5 on O. Walking off court. Oof...

Dom in.

Come on, Dom, show us what you've got!

[G R E Y]

Dom whiffs at the rim again after a spin to get to it.

[G R E Y]

Julian got absolutely **** clocked with a shoulder screen like it was a football play.

[G R E Y]

Is Devin on a get my shots in now that we're down so much so that my stats look better mission?

[G R E Y]

What

Are

We

Running

?

Wh aren't we defending?

[G R E Y]

Lack of communication on the screen Julian got crushed by, no communication on their switch for their last bucket.

Don't do fundamental things, pay the price.

[G R E Y]

Maybe Mamu can get some minutes? Dom hustles but his finishing at the rim is not NBA level (he makes these in Austin, so it's a mental thing), and he's getting beaten at our rim on drives.

[G R E Y]

We have 11 points just past the half way point of the 3RD.

Regardless of who is playing, this is the pattern more times than not. Weird.

[G R E Y]

We found Doug well for his 3s.

The better he shows - over 40% from 3 - the better the asset coming back when the time comes.

[G R E Y]

Mamu time!

[G R E Y]

Mamu great pass to a cutting Tre for the layup.

These have been there most of the night.

[G R E Y]

We're at the Blazers announcers counting the number of letters in Mamu's last name portion of the proceedings.

[G R E Y]

Very nice ATO call and execution (finally).

[G R E Y]

Well well well.

D to O.

It works!
