SPURS GAME DAY! GMAE 32: SPURS AT MAGIC, 23-12-2022, 6PM (CT)

[G R E Y]

Sochan nice dish inside to Jakob for the basket; nice seal up of the baseline on which they traveled.

[G R E Y]

Oh Doug...

[G R E Y]

Pass it ahead, get it back. Keldon 3!

[G R E Y]

LOVE THE PUSH!

[G R E Y]

Spchan bobble for the TO results in a scramble, elastic man dunks, Pop calls a timeout.

I like that we're kept on a tight leash in this game. Screw up. Regroup. None of these multiple comedy of errors sequences. Although that one was a candidate lol

[G R E Y]

GREAT ATO call and execution!

Sochan starts and ends it.

[G R E Y]

Whose assignment was that damn cutter? Blew an otherwise good D coverage. All it takes is that one guy...

[G R E Y]

Jakob walked. We'll take it.

[G R E Y]

That's the second or third time our guys tried to get the ball over Bol.

We should stop doing that.

[G R E Y]

Johnson & Johnson.

[G R E Y]

LATE. 3. COVERAGE.

Settling for 3s early in the clock.

O foul by Jakob.

And that's end of the half.

2ND Q: SPURS 61 MAGIC 61

*sigh*

End of Q details.

We were up 9 with two minutes left and in that time we missed six shots, fouled three times, missed at least two bunnies at the rim, allowed a 9-0 run.

We're exchanging good and poor play. Alternating runs is one thing, consistent play is another.

The open 3s allowed can't happen.

Trying to pass over a tree shouldn't either.

I liked our movement and passing (18 assists) and our transition push. We have 12 points off their 11 TOs. Decent though we could have made more of the chances we had.

Solid work on the boards, especially on O (9-3).

We have to get them into some early foul trouble to get some shots at the line. Get some rest, get the score up.

A bit surprised we haven't played KBD or Dieng given the height challenge of the opponent.

We don't have a glaring issue this game but for giving up some open 3s and that end of Q run. We can't let up. I have to remember that we're on a travel B2B and there's a fatigue element, so ensuring we make the most of our possessions is key.

It's the mental element that is the challenge.

[G R E Y]

Bah! Sochan missed bunny grrr...

But Sochan then blocks their drive.

[G R E Y]

Sochan O board putback! Like the Keldon drive that preceded it.

[G R E Y]

Jakob getting frustrated by his nearby countrymen.

[imagump1313]

Poeltl, Sochan and K. Johnson is really hard to defend against rebounding. They are going to look good with Wemby!

[G R E Y]

Three quick fouls on Jakob.

Damn...

[G R E Y]

Time for some Collins piss and vinegar.

[G R E Y]

What's with our fouls inside? Can't tell if these are legit there are so many. We have to keep them out of the paint more cleanly, doing the work higher up.

[G R E Y]

Aaaaaaand JUST as I type the above Devin gets the perimeter steal and dunks.

We block twice without fouling down low.
