SPURS GAME DAY! GAME 31: SPURS AT PELICANS, 22-12-2022, 7PM (CT)

Another road test versus another west opponent, this one a bigger challenge. We must put record or available players out of mind and be resolute in the mindset of what we need to do: tend to fundamentals, be defensive stalwarts, and compete from start to finish.

WHERE: Smoothie King Center, New Orleans, LA

We're sloppy to start. Doing some right things, but juuust off on the finish, like missed bunnies through not using the glass, giving up 3s, etc. We know who the hot shooters are. They have FOUR 3s already on six tries. Don't leave them open.

Also, three TOs already?! Like I said, sloppy.

Their commentators just said we are last in covering/defending the 3. Is that right? I mean looks like it tonight, and for all the times I've typed 'contest the arc!' it fits, but still. Big area of improvement needed.

Nice high low pass Collins to Sochan who gets positioning, bumps for space and nice touch at the rim.

We're getting outhustled and the 50/50 balls fall the way of effort.

I had Sochan on my fantasy team tonight and replaced him at the last second for Diop.

This means Sochan will have 80 points and Diop will hardly play.......

Right? I mean good for them, but these aren't the type of moves I expect from this generation. Like Foxtrot or ballroom or something...

Yeah we're not only sloppy but getting outhustled. Like we've decided we're taking this one off. Don't know why...

This is how you know we are tanking. Why would any shooting coach or Pop approve of what Sochan is doing with his free throws?

Just let it go until the off season :lol:

1ST Q: SPURS 17 PELICANS 37

That's right - THIRTY-SEVEN.

What went wrong? Whatever possibly could.

We're 2-10 from 3; we've allowed 6-10.

We're 1-2FTs; we've fouled them for 5-6.

We have 6 TOs to 5 assists.

Our rebounding is solid, 15-14, and 6-4 on O boards, but we need to convert these chances.

Run back on D, get more physical, get focused, work harder.
