Another game, another opportunity to better put into practice what we must improve, namely, perimeter ball pressure, ball protection, rebounding, and end of Q execution on both ends. Making sure we share the ball better and that each player shoots within the team concept, minding clock and opportunity, flow from it all. Let's show we how much better we can be when we all buy in together.

I DO NOT like the energy or urgency here at all.

Like why in the hell are we starting out so tentatively against this team?!

More than half of our shots are from the arc where we are 1-7.

DRIVE CUT DRIVE and DRIVE SOME MORE, SPURS!

Ok we forced a shot clock violation there but Jesus we also just gave up three chances to score on one possession...

Aaaaand just like that, subs in, more movement, better rhythm, and we go on a 10-0 run with some good D with Jakob's block, points in transition.

I'm really sick of other teams coming into our home court and out hustling us and us just... allowing it and following with finesse on the other end time and again.

1ST Q: SPURS 32

THUNDER 22

It seems from my comments like we're the ones 10 points down, but it's just that we pick and choose spurts to play with great energy and then go on cruise control/sleep mode to let teams come back with ease time and again.

BUT to our credit we DO have TEN assists already and SIX blocks, so our D and team-concept O is working. Let's stick to it!

But don't give up so many second chance points while we're at it.

Lonnie has to be watching Devin and seeing his spot on the team pass him by...

BBIQ 101: That's THREE TIMES now that Lonnie has missed the open man - this time Derrick on the weak side with both arms up in the air so Lonnie pass it to the overloaded right corner and we have to get to the baseline pass cross court THEN get it back to Derrick. SO. ****. DUMB.

Before that Lonnie had Drew open down low and passed it horizontally.

I just can't with him... I just can't.

We actually ARE using him OFF BALL but he's operating like he's the PG. OR if we are using him as the PG we must STOP.

BBIQ 101: DEVIN OFF BALL ALL THE TIME AND JUST TAKES THE SHOT. SMART MOVEMENT, GREAT PASS BY DIOP, GREAT MOVEMENT BY DEVIN TO GET TO THE RIGHT CORNER FOR 3.

Once again. BBIQ 101 - Hang on to the D rebound. Do not get stripped and follow it with a foul, Drew.

You can tell Drew hasn't played in a while as he goes down court dribbling the ball like he's never going to touch it again LOL

BBIQ 101: Devin in the passing lane positioned perfectly - ball, you, man - for the steal, then drives right down the middle, keeps ball high up out of the way of wayward defender hands, and lays it in.

Four point swing because Jakob refuses to **** dunk and gets blocked by a smaller player and they get 2 on a drive.

In fairness to Lonnie, I missed his block to end the 1ST Q, so good help D there to prevent their scoring.
