[G R E Y]

COLLINS LOSES THE BALL AND **** TROTS - T R O T S !!!!!!! - BACK ON D!!!!!!!

****!

[G R E Y]

Keldon loses ball among another two defenders in the paint spin attempt - second in a row.

[G R E Y]

Kudos to Branham to pass ahead on a fast break as soon as he got the ball.

Devin alley oop to Keldon for the dunk.

Fast break with the ball not touching the court!

[G R E Y]

Oh for the love of fundamentals...

We get O board, we TO, we give up a bucket, and we miss on our last attempt...

[G R E Y]

1ST Q: SPURS 30 GRIZZLIES 18

It's a good start but also frankly too close given the chances we have had.

Hopefully this is a case of us just getting our feet under us.

Kudos to Sochan for 6 points on 3-5 and 8 - EIGHT! - rebounds already. Nice looks for others, great D.

Devin leads us with 11 on 5-6, 1-1 from 3.

Wemby is only 1-4 on a made 3 but has 3 assists. All four of his attempts have been from the arc, so he and we need him to get inside.

We have 10 assists already to 4TOs.

Let's get the details of right places and right angles and right energy going.

[G R E Y]

Wemby dances with the handles, drives, and lays it at the rim over the defender. They have nobody to stop that, Wemby. GET TO THE RIM!

[G R E Y]

Wemby spin into the paint, left hand lay in.

Wemby tips D board to Cedi, gets hit in the face, gets it stolen.

Wemby steals it right back lol

[G R E Y]

BRANHAM - YOU HAVE THE TALLEST PLAYER IN THE LEAGUE IN THE BLOCK. PASS IT H-I-G-H-E-R.

We instead pass too low and it gets picked off for a TO...

[G R E Y]

We do know Wemby is tall, right?

[G R E Y]

WOW WHAT A BULL **** CALL!

NO O FOUL AT **** ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

**** OFF

[G R E Y]

Sochan misses. Sochan falls. What a weird habit.

8-0 run against.

Pop timeout.

STOP SETTLING FOR 3S.

GET IN THE PAINT SMARTLY.

PASS HIGHER TO THE TALL GUY.

D TO O.

PROTECT THE ARC.

[G R E Y]

I'm just sick of typing STOP SETTLING FOR 3S already

And USE THE **** GLASS - Sochan missed bunny.

**** hell who do we think we are with these loose plays?

[G R E Y]

We have 11 points with 2 minutes left.

ELEVEN.

11.

[G R E Y]

Devin misses a wide open Collins in the paint with both hands up.

We come up with a Sochan 3 miss instead.

And give up a bucket the other way.

BBIQ issues................................

[G R E Y]

Sochan gets ANOTHER 3 dropped on him with NO HANDS UP WHATSOEVER.

HOW DOES A GOOD D GUY ALLOW THIS?

WTF IS THIS 'EFFORT'?

[G R E Y]

2ND Q: SPURS 44 GRIZZLIES 43

*banghead*

You could see it coming - us settling for 3s going 1-10 this Q and not contesting 3s with too many players following drivers and not rotating out at shooters, allowing arc practice that they made 6-13.

Terrible shot selection, including Wemby who shot six 3s of his 9FGAs. We obviously need to get him the ball down low.

When we get to the rim, we ovbiously have to finish with fundamentals OFF GLASS. And HIGHER off glass in Collins's case.

21-5 against to close the Q, losing it 25-14. FOURTEEN **** POINTS versus a heavily depleted team that didn't even know which players were available for tonight.

The decisions and effort attest to immaturity and BBIQ issues. We got a 17-point lead and **** fell asleep very impressed with ourselves while our opponent ground into us on simple plays - high screens, open 3s, drive and kicks, open 3s, and we allowed them to get to the FT line more to boot.

Wemby leads us with 15 but he could be and should be far smarter with his shot selection. Leads us with 4 assists.

Devin has 13 on crisp 6-8.

Sochan started out so smart and then it just **** tumbled with let hand attempts that barely touched the rim, with stupid shot attempts, away from the looking for others, away from contesting shots - ?????????????? away from smart play. He's such an enigma when he decides to get his and 'do something'. The drop off is shocking. So is the inconsistency.

8TOs. Only 3-17 from 3, but we are winning PITP 22-12 - I WONDER IF THIS WILL SINK IN??!

Collins is a shell of his finishing and contesting self, but we still should pass him the ball in the paint when he seals his man.

Tre is 0-4 and Julian is 0-1. "Thanks", guys.

Bench has a grand total of 9 points.

Can we **** bring up the energy and just play with fundamentals? That's it. Nothing fancy but right play, and far more hustle.

BBIQ increase, please with shot selection, switching and contesting on D.

I hope Pop is ripping into them as I type.

We better come out on fire and sustain it in the second half.

[G R E Y]

A terrible looking first O play, all missed up, no score, and give up a paint bucket and the lead.

Pop timeout 39 seconds in.

Unserious effort and mindset.

[G R E Y]

Devin gets a pass from Sochan. Curl drive layup. SIMPLE.

[G R E Y]

Devin spin into the paint. J.

SEE? IT WORKS!

[G R E Y]

Sure. Let's keep giving up 3s.

We play so **** dumb sometimes it defies sanity.
