The first of a crucial double header that we cannot take lightly. Nothing that happened before indicates anything thatay happen if we get complacent. Play hard, play with the end goal in mind, execute well on both ends, get the results we want.

GO SPURS GO!!!

Can't watch this as I'm in transit, but GO SPURS GO!!! in spirit!

Will be scoreboard watching with fingers crossed!

Not great, but not the worst situation:


Heal fully quickly, DJ!

But this is cool!

Super young 1-2-3!

Ugh...... Fiesta

1ST Q: SPURS 34

BLAZERS 29

We were just up 10 and gave up 5 quick points to end the Q. Not. Good. Ball. Protection. Four TOs. Clean it up, Spurs.

Also, two starters, Jacob and Tre, have not scored. PG and C connection are crucial for our success. Let's get it going, gents.

Solid bench contribution.

GO SPURS GO!!!

2ND Q: SPURS 77

BLAZERS 49

Oh good! A positive turnarnound. Scoring efficiently from the field, from the 3, from the FT line.

Jakob and Tre contributing on O.

They do have 6 steals to our 7TOs, so cleaner awareness of details and ball protection and cohesion and communication please, gents!

We're winning the boards battle but they have a slight edge on O boards. As a matter of principle and pride and practice, let's make sure we're on th right end of this th second half.

Great contributions from our bigs, almost everyone is efficient. Let's get Keita on the scoreboard.

Most of all, let's defend cleanly, protect our paint, arc, and the ball, and keep it moving on the O end for good to great made baskets. Jeep the end goal ever in mind.

GO SPURS GO!!!

3RD Q: SPURS 101

BLAZERS 81

I think we had closer to a 30 point lead. Great result after three, nevertheless. Kick ass, take no prisoners.

GO SPURS GO!!!

4TH Q: SPURS 130

BLAZERS 111

We lost the second half 62 to 53 but poured in so many in the first half that keeping it fairly close still gave us a comfortable cushion for the rest of the game.

Not sure how close they came, if at all, but we had EIGHT Spurs in double figures, four each for starters and bench, the latter contributing a strong 52 points led by Zach's 15.

Our bench also had 6 of our 9 steals. Solid two-way contribution.

Devin led us with an efficient 22, nice to see, Keldon, Jakob, and Primo joined him in efficiency, and Tre had an impressive 9-9-5 with no TOs.

Welcome back Lonnie. From the dunk highlights, looks like his back us back to better than ever.

16-37 from 3?! Well don on both fronts, gents!

Good rim protection with 6-2 in blocks and winning th boards battle 44-42 even though they got the O boards advantage 12-8.

We got to the FT line well for 28 attempts but made 22. Always som thing to work on. It is a testament, in part, to our point in the paint work, 52-44.

We gave you a whopping 24 point on our 14 TOs and got 15 from their 10 so oof! Definitely something to clean up.

But we took care of busin as without our leader, gave a lot of young guys a lot of burn (Tre and Primo led us with 33 and 31 minutes, respectively, the only players to reach the 30-minute mark), welcomed back and incorporated some returning players while still trying newer lineups for chemistry and effectiveness.

Goal reached. Lessons learned. Experience gained.

Now to build on it.

GO SPURS GO!!!

NOTEWORTHY ACHIEVEMENTS

Lonnie and Primo with highlight dunks.

Love to see it.

Hard to believe Primo is 19.

Glad to see Drew doing his thing. He deserves a decent length contract, he plays hard and keeps working on his game.
