SPURS GAME DAY! GAME 67: SPURS VS. THUNDER, 12-3-2023, 6PM (CT) 

Post#1 » by G R E Y » Sun Mar 12, 2023 10:54 pm

We continue our home stand versus another West team, this time a rebuilding one farther along their journey. We'll have to make do without some key contributors but this, as ever, will give a bigger chance for others to step up. Competitiveness and continuing good individual and team habits is what we're looking for tonight.

WHERE: AT&T Center, San Antonio, TX

Graham starting after a DNP. Malaki back to his more natural 2 guard spot. Hopefully the former plays under 20 minutes and has more of a facilitator role. Looks like Blake's back up with us so hopefully he gets the bulk of the PG workload.

Collins has been terrific as starter since we traded Jakob but these undisciplined fouls continue to plague him. A pushing your guy out of the key while we have an open J is an obvious and unnecessary call.

Good shot going so far, though...

And there's two quick fouls on Collins already. Even if that second one on D was questionable, that first one now proves all the more costly. Now sits. Good chance for CBass now.

Really like Devin's side step for Js and his court vision for that cross court pass to Malaki in the right corner.

Malaki telegraphs a pass from the key out to the right corner intended for Devin that gets easily picked off.

He's not a natural PG and his shot taking comes more naturally to him, but the passing game will have to grow, too. Devin's a 2 and his court vision has grown well.

Nice Malaki find from the top of the key again this time to the left corner for a Graham 3.

Nice that CBass is there to set some screens for Blake who brings up the ball. Sometimes we leave our PG on an island in the back court.

Not the best movement and passing with a two-PG tandem of Graham and Blake out there.

Would rather we go with Devin or Malaki with one of the PGs.

That's two possessions where we've struggled to create good shots.

We got caught with too many Spurs in the paint again, got lucky with their miss.

Romeo with the... BLOCK?! of a jumper of all shots!

Quick pass ahead to the always running Doug for the... dunk of all shots!

Nice D to O.

Really nice two-man game between Mamu and Doug. Both knew what they were doing on the give and go. Nice.

Blake back rimming his misses.

Had a great game in Austin, just needs to settle in.

I'd pick the entire Spurs lineup on my team if they would let me just to ensure us from being stupid. But you can have only 4 players from one team.....

Coast to coast against is the exact thing you don't want to hear.

7-0 run against overall to finish the Q...
