Finally home after a historically successful road trip, we've on a good wave of play. We'll need our absolute best to take on a West juggernaut rolling through the league. Perimeter pressure, ball protection, all out movement on both ends, good to great points. As always, fundamentals of the D-out game. Let get after it!

WHERE: AT&T Center, San Antonio, TX

WHEN: Wednesday, March 30, 2022, 7:30pm (CT)





GO SPURS GO!!!

What. An. ABSOLUTE. Putrid. O foul call. On DJ.

Pop timeout.

Has to be restrained after RIPPING into the ref for it.

It's not even a question of 'home calls'. It's about the right call. And that was anything but.

EDIT to add:



lmao

Sure. A 3-seconds in the key is supposed to erase a 6-point swing??!

YAY! We have adult uniforms tonight.

KELDON DISHING!

Wooosh we're getting points put up on our mistakes QUICK. It was just a two-point game...

Lonnie with his Lonnie-isms. Or is it Lonnie-itis?!

1ST Q: SPURS 27

GRIZZLIES 31

HALF of their points are from the arc, making 6-11. Yeah we have to contest these better.

I DO like our energy and push on both ends. Lots of little mistakes for 8 TOs already which have cost us 6 points.

We're efficient from everywhere but the 3, so we need to tidy that up.

Better contesting, switching, blocking. Loving the mix of line-ups, as well as the forward push of DJ and Keldon.

Good start overall.

Again. It was just a 2-point game. Quick blur and it's a 7-point deficit.

Primo's left handed. Just now he drove well into the paint but took time to switch hands to shoot right at the last second and missed. Interesting.

So the refs miss another call, Pop's upset, and he gets the tech.

Sure sure of course... *EYE RRRRRRRROLL*

No travel on their 3 just now, eh? Ok...

2ND Q: SPURS 52

GRIZZLIES 65

I'd circle their 10-21 from 3 but we're 7-21. Not great, but we closed the gap there. Leading at the FT line a bit. But they've taken eight more shots and made six more baskets.

It's our 10 TOs that we messed up possessions on (only two in the 2ND Q). We're still adjusting to making our plays seamless with our two new bigs but I like the plays we're trying to set up. Love the high low big to big action, love the drives and dishes to the big who steps back a little to create space, love the bigs passing to back door cutters.

But Jock and Zach are 0-1 combined so we need to get them better involved.

I've noticed Jakob has this elbow clear out move as he spin-steps into the key. It's a great quick physical move to keep bigger bigs at bay and he protects the ball with his body.

Lonnie's rusty, and Primo is too lol

Everyone except for Devin is efficient.

The pace is keeping us on our heels a bit. And me! It's 8:31 and I'm still on the 2ND Q lol But their relentless attack and sure fire decisions is the difference that stands out. We want to be that team where every players knows what to do , where to be to maximize their strengths.

DJ putting in great GREAT work here with the 3 and then crafty drive and cross court pass to Devin for the 3.

CRAP we had TWO great chances to score and cut into the lead to single digits but whiffed. Then they hit two open 3s...
