SPURS GAME DAY! GAME 68: SPURS VS. MAGIC, 14-3-2023, 7PM (CT)

[G R E Y]

Collins top of arc 3. Ho hum it's getting routine now. WOW.

[G R E Y]

2ND Q: SPURS 67 MAGIC 61

How to follow 20 points in three Qs? Eighteen points at the half! Collins! - 7-11, 2-2 from 3, 2-2FTs along with 3 boards (1 on O), 1 assist, 1 steal, 2 blocks. Good rim D, good passing and rolling, good popping, good post up, and curl drive for hooks inside. WOW.

We're 10-18 from 3, already matching the number made last game, and that's among six Spurs, already more than the four Spurs who connected last game. Awesome, though I hope we don't fall in love with the shot. The 3s, steals, rebounds, and pace are all opening up the key and so we're 9-10FTs already as well.

We do have to be careful about bleeding points inside where we trail 32-28PITP. They have 5-3 in O boards, something we need to be mindful of, like that end of Q one for a second chance possession. Luckily, we defended both of their attempts at the end of each Q.

Every Spurs who has played has scored, so really nice distribution. We have 19 assists already, though 8TOs which have cost us 12 points, so yeah, let's not look to the 3 as the be-all saviour but make sure we're defending well, too.

[G R E Y]

Had to step away for a bit.

I see we built a 6-point half time lead up to 13

[G R E Y]

3s and dunks. WOW.

[G R E Y]

Poor Sochan falls on the floor for a loose ball then waits for a team mate to come and pick him up after the whistle alas...

[G R E Y]

Pop now has Blake, Doug, Sochan, Barlow, and Mamu out there.

[G R E Y]

Barlow slides to stay with the switch, cuts off the baseline, and stays on his feet on the pump fake. Forces a pass. Well done. They scored on the pass, mind, but he did his part well.

[G R E Y]

Now Sochan has been replaced with Julian.

[G R E Y]

3RD Q: SPURS 98 MAGIC 89

Well Pop is putting out Doug and a rookie and the waivers pick ups along with G-Leaguers. We just can't miss and are scrambling enough to get stops. We're a higher percentage from 3 (58.6%) than from the field overall which is high itself (54.5%).

Twelve TOs. Just watch these, share the ball, protect it.

[G R E Y]

You know, we know Doug can move off ball and hit 3s. We can probably give these minutes to a less experienced guy now.

:lol:

I would never

You guys are fun, should I be rooting for the Spurs to win or lose on your behalf? I’d imagine you guys want as many Vic lotto balls as possible.. I’m good at going with the flow

We need to LOSE!!!!! HELP US FRANK!!!!

[damanick10]

Really like what I’m seeing from Mamu. He seems like a great fit here

[G R E Y]

Beautiful ball movement, indeed.

Barlow bringing the hustle.

Devin still doesn't have the legs under him yet. Keeps front rimming 3s misses.

[G R E Y]

Nice P&R bounce pass by Graham. Sweet left hand finish by Barlow.

[G R E Y]

Read on Twitter

[G R E Y]

That's twice Anthony bowed over Graham. Got called for the second one.

[G R E Y]

Sochan man D on Banchero to force him into a second defender and back off into a fadeaway J miss. Really well done absorbing the physicality and keep his balance while moving his feet to stay in front. SO good.

[damanick10]

Sochan and Banchero is a fun matchup

[Phreak50]

This will make the team 3-7 without Johnson I believe.

A better record without him than with him.

[G R E Y]

Sure, a circus lefty by Devin. Why the hell not. Everything else has been falling for us...
