We return home, hopefully rested and smarting, looking for payback. It starts on the defensive end with consistent effort and high IQ responses, continues to protecting the rim and arc, and finishing with strong transition, movement-oriented play.

GO SPURS GO!!!

Too bad Romeo (who can't seem to stay healthy, weird, it's like Derrick with the one injury after another streak) isn't available. Pop said he might be our best man defender and we need it. But Hall is in and he's a physical defender, too.

Too bad Collins is still out, but I'm very happy for Bassey to get another shot. He's absolutely crushed G-League competition in the first two games, and I'm intrigued to see what he can do with the big club. I have a feeling if his success continues, and Collins remains steady, then it'll make getting assets for Jakob and/or Collins easier in terms of having someone fill in, in terms of what assets we can get. My first priority for Jakob would be re-signing, but can we risk going to free agency? We do have the most money to offer, though it's a matter of the right money making sense for both sides. Anyway, getting sidetracked here.

Looking forward to seeing what Bassey brings tonight!

Oh. Pop's super cautious trolling lol



Next level trolling:

D TO O LET'S GO!!!

Sochan D impact on both ends with blocks and rebounds.

Jakob far more active on D with hands up and blocks.

We have to be careful around their C who has already stripped us twice on drives.

Ahem. Maybe don't leave the hot 3 shooting team open at the arc. Maybe, eh?

I can feel Devin's confidence all the way from here through the screen.

We ALMOST left Tre on an island as the lone guy in the back court on the inbound. They had a man covering and we got it in just in time, but something to remember. Teams sneak in full court coverage - like we do!

BASSEY TIME!

JRich man D came to play!

Devin great back door cut, BAssey great pass!

And now Bassey the D board deflection, then D contest.

Terrific two way contribution.

And to top it all off the alley oop dunk by Bassey! Pass courtesy of JRich.

1ST Q: SPURS 28 NUGGETS 28

Well a much better two-way effort. We're showing some pride to a man.

Devin end of Q 3 miss, back of rim, but we got the shot we wanted with 3.2 left.

We've made 4-9 from 3 to their 2-5, 50% of our field goals, and lawdy mama only 2-6FTs.

10 rebounds (2 on O), and 3 TOs.

Doug, Jakob, and Diop have yet to score.

We need to get them the ball, and blitz them inside and out.

Keldon (12) and Devin (8) need the support. And how valuable for us that they're playing their games in the meantime.

We're getting to the FT line but BAH! we're also leaving points on the court outside of it.

These whip passes through our own hands are the opposite effort with the same TO result. But I like the effort nonetheless.

Doug getting hot inside and out. Nice.

Nothing as legendary and unchanging as Pop giving the heat to a ref on the sidelines during FTs.

We need to get some D stops. They're penetrating and scoring too much.
