Lets only pass to Barlow when we absolutely have no other option but to travel, Then when he is in traffic and cant handle it talk to him like he did something wrong. I f-ing hate watching this team

1ST Q: SPURS 30 MAVS 38

We started the Q on a full court pass against for an easy 2 against and finish it much the same way.

Positional awareness, getting back on D, driving more are primary.

Wemby foul trouble early and so Sochan and Devin have stepped up to fill in the scoring void.

Dom is not a C. He's trying hard but he's at a size disadvantage.

Good Branham start with extra passes and smart drives.

Five points from the bench so far.

We need a harder effort from everyone, faster, more physical.

Let's pick up the pace

There's a stink of hierarchy among some, like younger players don't get passes or scenarios like you described, and the older ones make their own shots regardless of whether it's the right play. Not all the time, but enough for it to be noticeable.

That crap better get aired out this summer with some more competition for spots and roles.

[G R E Y]

Oooooh Keldon putting it on a string and pretty finish!

[G R E Y]

Tre to Branham for the drive!

[G R E Y]

Good God please stop with these stupid ass uniforms

You need an old school black and white TV

[G R E Y]

Good cohesion. Julian steps up for D board and saves it out of bounds, we pass back to Julian and he quickly zips it to the right corner for a Tre 3. Nice. Quick smart decisions.

[G R E Y]

Hey Branham did a great job sidestepping a screen to stay with his man.

They miss but Keldon did not pick up help box out for their O putback.

[G R E Y]

Agree with Sean. Wemby has to bring that back to the rim after the O board. Keep the ball up high too.

[G R E Y]

I'm so annoyed with Sochan corner 3 miss and then giving a kick out 3 up.

We need shooters.

SHOOOOOOOOOOOTERS.

Shooters.

[G R E Y]

Devin trapped in right corner by a double. Chucks up a shot rather than out to a team mate. Well it's better than a TO I guess. And we also have to help him by coming to passing spaces better.

[G R E Y]

Sochan wayward finish at the rim.

Sochan TO after we just stole it for the second time in a row. The first was a Devin steal and dunk.

[imagump1313]

Meh, im extra crabby tonight because between this and watching the Red Wings choke themselves out of a playoff spot I have no joy

2ND Q: SPURS 56 MAVS 65

Sochan made two 3s in the 1ST Q and then went **** MJ mindset but kept **** up.

There is NO SCENARIO IN WHICH HE SHOULD HAVE MORE FGAs THAN WEMBY. And Aochan is not even having a good scoring game! He's 2-8! 2-5 from 3 lmao - dude, why do you think you are wide open at the arc? Your size is mitigated at the rim and you're not nearly enough of a reliable arc threat to offset it. THINK. He does have 6 boards (2 on O) and 2 assists but is -10. No TOs registered is not accurate.

Wemby is only 1-6, 0-2 from 3, but 6-6FTs. He also has 4 boards (1 on O), 1 assist, 1 steal, 3 blocks to 2TOs.

We need to get OUR BEST PLAYER GOING BETTER. HELLO??!

Tre is solid (4-6, 203 from 3) with 3 boards and 6 assists already. Great movement and pesky D.

Devin sees he needs to fill in with O and is shooting liberally 6-13, 0-2 from 3. Three steals - terrific.

Bench has 15 points from Keldon and Branham. They've both been energetic, going down hill and pressuring D, crafty with terrific rim finishes, and actually providing solid D. We need more from more players. We also need to get Dom involved more.

We are giving up points after 3s misses (6-18 from 3) because we are setting up 3s shooters who are not great. And we're getting bodied inside for 34-22 PITP against already.

We only have 7TOs which is solid but we have to force more (only 4TOs for the opponent).

We are outrebounding them 24-21 and 5-2 on O boards.

If we can just reconfigure who gets the 3s and get going inside more we'll reap the rewards more.

That and RUN BACK ON D.

[G R E Y]

Sochan miss, Wemby rebound lmao rinse repeat

Wemby out to Tre for second chance 3. Ok we salvaged it.

[G R E Y]

BALL FIRST.

GOOD CHALLENGE, POP!

WEMBY DOES NOT GET HIS 3RD FOUL.

WE GET POSSESSION, TOO.

PHEW!

[G R E Y]

I **** LOVE how Wemby's eyes are locked in on Pop whenever he gets tutelage.

I LOVE IT SOOOOO MUCH!

[G R E Y]

That spin inside by Wemby is NEW!

Wemby stepping up to take the charge!

[G R E Y]

DRIVE, SPURS DRIVE!!!

[G R E Y]

Sean - "Well we missed him earlier on in the paint as well" - Truer words have not been spoken.

Devin whiffed on a pass to Wemby on the block with a target hand up and we laboured around until we finally found him well outside his sweet spot area.
