SPURS GAME DAY! GAME 70: SPURS VS. GRIZZLIES, 17-3-2023, 7PM (CT)

[G R E Y]

We have EIGHTY points less than 3 minutes into the 3RD Q.

[G R E Y]

Tre starting in place of Sochan the second half. Sochan has the warm up jacket on. Seems like he's done for the night since he came back to the bench after leaving the court.

[G R E Y]

Malaki's not a natural PG and it shows. Another chance missed to pass the ball ahead to a Spur out on the right wing already but he held up and dribbled once or twice too long.

We're getting loose and cute with the full court passes. Build the plays.

Sochan up and high fiving team mates on the timeout. Nice to see.

[G R E Y]

UPDATE: Sochan injuries knee... FFS.......

[G R E Y]

Hulk Mamu skies for the O board and hangs onto the ball on the floor versus two defenders.

[G R E Y]

Keldon my goodness. Fronts the best shot blocker in the league, gets blocked, but muscles in the O board. Wow.

[G R E Y]

3RD Q: SPURS 93 GRIZZLIES 81

And just like that, our 29-point lead is down to 12 after a 35-24 Q for our opponents who came alive in the second half of this Q, including an end of Q 3 heave that was in time.

We went away from what was getting us points - ball sharing, movement, getting stops.

And in HALF of a Q, more than half of our lead dwindled. **** around and find out is the lesson here. Why we went for full court passes, careless TOs I don't know, but some missed bunnies and the momentum has decidedly shifted.

Bill just said we were on the wrong end of 26-9 run to finish the Q. Get it together, Spurs!

[G R E Y]

We have Dieng, Barlow, Malaki, Blake, and Devin in now.

Nine point game.

11-0 run against.

We have yet to score in the 4TH Q. Oof.

[G R E Y]

Wow we get a break with two missed FTs by them and then give up an O board for a putback. Wow.

[G R E Y]

Well I love the hustle for the O boards, multiple chances, but we kept shooting 3s. Maybe create something else.

[G R E Y]

Good rebounding by Barlow on both ends.

[G R E Y]

Collins tweaks his back. FFS...

[G R E Y]

Mamu fake, quick drive, and lefty finish of a floater for a 13-point lead.

[G R E Y]

We full court press, double the initial pass receiver. Miss the 3 but LOVE the effort.

[G R E Y]

Mamu hustles to force a TO. Guy WORKS and is SMART.

[G R E Y]

Hey LOOK a 4TH Q foul versus Collins goes against the opponent!

[G R E Y]

Malaki is not shy. But maybe let's run the clock, yeah?

[G R E Y]

Keldon working on ball protection should be a focus in this off-season.

This one was a poke from behind so I'm not faulting him so much on it, just a general thought after that play.

[G R E Y]

I like how Tre is calling out for where guys have to go, and gesturing for Malaki to keep curling left to right. We got a Devin 3 off that.

[G R E Y]

Collins late game O foul. And then pointing and complaining. COLLINS, MATE, GET YOUR HEAD SCREWED BACK ON RIGHT.
