It's more funny when we're up but surely team mates notice, right? He does pass for a couple of possessions early in the clock, but then it's like a switch goes off and he's like ok I passed TWICE time for I ME MIIIINE!!!

Richardson was alone in the corner when he did it. Looks like he said to himself 'Well, this is how its gonna be" :lol:

2ND Q: SPURS 73

THUNDER 58

Just like we thought we ought to be up by 8 after the 1ST, they probably think they should be down 12 not 15 what with a 3 taken away from us then and given on that goaltending call. Watch them **** reverse that, too.

So I guess Lonnie's only consistent when he has the green light to take any bloody shot he wants at any time in the clock, eh? Good thing he's making them fairly consistently, because it mitigates the shot selection and quality in terms of too early and no one else touching the ball.

You can see how our opponent can put up points quickly and they won't be terrible for years. Might as well take full advantage of it now.

Josh has looked good. Took a confident 3, faked a 3 and drove assertively, switched on D well, and got a block along with a couple of assists in 6 minutes. He's bigger than I thought.

I like Keldon's driving and yelling lol The more physical we can be inside on them the better.

Jakob hopefully gets inside positioning (though they did a good job fronting Zach) or more easy lay ins at the rim.

LOVE Devin's throwback drives and classic finger roll finishes at the rim!

Primo has made some good switches and contests down low, but has also gotten caught stuck on the driver's hip to create body space and prevent a clean contest for the basket.

We've been chasing drivers over screens and have to anticipate the timing of these better to get around them. Doug got absolutely embarrassed on these a couple of times and while he was figuring out whether to go over or under to catch the shooter, the basket was made.

We already made 7-18 3s at the half which almost tied our 20 attempts from all of last game, so good that we're putting these up.

Four Spurs in double figures on 20 assists already. Good. Keep pushing at them.

If he hasn't gotten the intel yet, he'll soon realize that'll be the case more often than not even though Lonnie assisted on his 3.

And there it is. We're not taking them that seriously, relying more on shot makes, and now that they've picked up the pace we're struggling to keep up with them and not only do we look out of sync on O we are not getting stops on D.

Doug is getting zeroed in on D and it's working for them.

Good timeout by Pop.

Was that Jakob or Zach that **** trotted nonchalantly without bothering to get a hand up on their made 3 that prompted a Pop timeout?!

I hope Pop **** RIPS into us for this defense. ****.

AND for **** settling for outside shots.

I said it the other night. I HATE this lineup we use with Walker and McDermott on the floor together. Teams always make runs on us and we assuredly will have a nice run of consecutive bricks. Stop it...

3RD Q: SPURS 89

THUNDER 81

What a pathetic comedy of horror errors and stupid choices. Early 3s in the clock, nobody else touching the ball, giving up drives and fouls the other way, almost totally going away from the good team D and movement O that got us two good Qs in the first half.

Primo and Lonnie have to sit. Primo because he's in effective, and Lonnie because he's a **** ball hog.

DRIVE DRIVE DRIVE AT THEM, SPURS!!! DEFEND. SCORE. REPEAT.

I don't blame you guys for teasing Lonnie.

I've done that to a bunch of players here over the years.

But I honestly see him growing and being a piece in various recent wins.

His positives far outweigh his negatives.

Like Jordan Clarkson, Lou Williams, Jamal Crawford etc.

But with a lot more talent and potential.
