Lonnie's still out for a bit longer but I'm very glad Devin is back. Can't wait to see Gorgui in the line-up!

We over-committed down low on their drive and left one defender to guard two 3 shooters. We need crisper harder closeouts at the arc, Spurs!

DJ and Jakob have the super hot hands which is great but other guys are settling for one and done outside shots from screens.

We need to move the ball, move the defenders and drive drive drive at them, Spurs!

It was just tied 60-60 with over a minute left before their final three shots.

So we need far better end of Q attention to detail and execution. DD's last two attempts were not good decisions, especially considering he has not shot it well.

Are going back to DD end of Q shots creations for himself? Why?

Clearly they have scouted DD and Keldon. They are 2-8 and 0-2 respectively. At least DD is passing for a team high 5 assists, but Keldon just pulls back and passes out which takes time off the clock.

Our bench is simply not giving us any scoring lift right now which puts all the more pressure on starters, two of whom are defensive targets and not scoring.

DJ and Jakob are wonderful with good support form Derrick, but it is not enough.

We look tired and slow. We are settling for outside shots far too much, sometimes even passing up clear open drives for kick outs for 3s we don't really need.

We need to move the ball and make extra passes to move their D and open up the driving lanes. We are only 1-2 FTs!!!

PROTECT OUR ARC ON D AND BETTER MOVEMENT TO DRIVE DRIVE DRIVE AT THEM, SPURS!!!

Well we're at least driving at them more now. Just guarding the 3 though...

Pop will make adjustments and it will be fascinating how Haliburton responds.
