SPURS GAME DAY! GAME 48: SPURS AT LAKERS, 25-1-2023, 9:30PM (CT)

[G R E Y]

Poor shot selection by Malaki.

Good box out by Collins.

And we TO it again.

Good that Pop called the timeout earlier to clean up our O but it's messy again.

[G R E Y]

That 3 was not a good shot choice by Tre.

[G R E Y]

2ND Q: SPURS 54 LAKERS 53

Lots, and I mean LOTS of points left on the floor. Our O got messy, challenged only by some absolutely hilariously fundamentally unsound defense of cutters and fast breaks.

Our shot selection declined as the Q progressed as well. Long 2s and early clock 3s are not what we want to manufacture. Feels like we want to take easier routes on both ends. I don't like Tre taking as many 3s as Keldon (3) while Doug has only one attempt from the arc.

Doug (0-1) and JRich (0-3) have yet to connect from 3. They're rushing their shots.

It looks as if our opponent is going after the known 3s shooters, forcing quick unbalanced shots while allowing Sochan and Tre to take what they want.

Laker killer Diop is 1-1 from the arc and is tied with Keldon for starter scorers high with 9. HE needs more 3s attempts though I love his pushes in transition and drives down the middle.

We are only 4-17 from 3 and only 6-8FTs. More of both, please.

Jakob is STILL only 0-1 at the half. So after 0-1 after the 1ST Q we didn't include him on O at all. We need to get him involved on O.

Collins is doing a good job picking up the slack creating his own shots form post ups and putbacks. He leads us with 11 so far. He's also doing a great job boxing out and sealing and fronting his man on D.

We have a 7-2 O board advantage with some key putbacks so we are doing a good job with second chances.

We also have a 32-24 points in the paint lead so making sure we keep pushing into the paint with clean physicality to keep it up and get some more fouls is key for us.

Run back on D and pick up an open man for the love of basketball fundamentals, share the ball to create good to great made shots, keep cutting, and crashing the rim.

[G R E Y]

Diop O board putback!

[G R E Y]

And nobody picks up the guy who is going to break most points scored ever soon lol

[G R E Y]

Jakob O board. Chance for second chance to score!

And we TO it and they score in transition. 4-point swing.

[G R E Y]

JAKOB SCORES!

[G R E Y]

Great pass out of the key by Sochan, eluding the imminent double. We miss the 3, but it was the right play.

[G R E Y]

We're settling for 3s again. Why force it when the shot isn't there?!

[G R E Y]

Wow Jakob ANOTHER bad pass TO. Surprising. We have to help him by moving better for better targets and coming to the ball more.

[G R E Y]

NICE SOCHAN!

[G R E Y]

**** hell, Keldon!

Stay DOWN in your D stance and move your feet!

Got stunned after a cross over that wasn't even of the ooh aah kind.

Sure sure everyone behind you will pick up the slack again.

[G R E Y]

SOARING SOCHAN!!!

[imagump1313]

FU Richardson

[G R E Y]

And another breakdown steal of their attempt down low and we finish with a JRich 3.

[G R E Y]

K3LDON!

[G R E Y]

Another. Dumb. Unforced. TO.

[G R E Y]

Another dumb early clock 3 miss...

[G R E Y]

THREE SPURS THERE AND WE BOBBLE THE D BOARD AND GIVE UP A BASKET

[G R E Y]

Nice patient play by Stanley to fake and pass, nice patient play by Collins to fake and put it in with two defenders draped on him.
