SPURS GAME DAY! LAS VEGAS SL GAME 4: SPURS VS. PISTONS, 14-7-2023, 8PM (CT)

[G R E Y]

Blake calls for the ball weak side left corner. It's a late recognition but pass gets there. Blake chooses to drive baseline where there's no room and throws up a bad heave. Wow.

[G R E Y]

Dom nice man D and contest. Good body angle to keep driver outside, good foot movement, arms up, contest jump well timed. Solid fundamentals.

Yes, these plays are very frustrating with him. He doesn't understand ball security or wasting possessions which become more valuable during the season.

[G R E Y]

Nice Collins interview.

[G R E Y]

Sidy D to O steal drive and finish!

[G R E Y]

Sidy is a LOAD. Has that thick booty and tree trunk legs my goodness.

[G R E Y]

14-0 rum woot!

Good team D to O.

Simple cross court pass to trailing shooter for the 3 and lead.

[G R E Y]

Holy **** WTF is Blake running?! Bad read and decision. Again. It's fine if he wants to call his own number in a P&R but he has no breakdown handles and keeps at it. Half court sets are a challenge.

2ND Q: SPURS 44 PISTONS 41

Dom leads us with 14, including some +1s. Shows a bit of something new on O while being reliable on D.

Blake is much better in transition than half court. Still learning with decisions, running a team. Zero assists at the half, though in fairness we only have 6 as a team.

We've given up 9 O boards and several second chance points from them. Boxing out is surely a half time message from Coach Nielsen.

I like our team D IQ and effort. Good switches and going over screens and running out for contests.

We're good when we make quick decisions after beating the opponent down the court. More of that.

Dom has to help Blake and call out about that screener OOF.

[G R E Y]

Blake has a tendency to reject screens on drives. Nice drive and kick. Dom nice O board putback.

[G R E Y]

Rice pretty screen use and floater. Simple. Effective. Then strips ball on D down low.

[G R E Y]

Rice was like is someone going to move and come set a screen or what? Fine, I'll do it myself then...

[G R E Y]

3RD Q: SPURS 61 PISTONS 57

Cpulve6been a bit more but we rimmed out two end of Q heaves.

Well it turns out points differential counts and we have to win by 27 to advance to the POs. We have some work to do, then!

Rice is struggling from the 3 but otherwise showing well in his first game. Good overall efficiency, and knows how to set others up.

Sidy is BIG and has some pretty flashy passes. Solid D. Once his shot mechanics get tweaks and reps he'll be a dangerous two way player.

McCoy leads us with 4 assists.

GSG!

[G R E Y]

**** hell Blake at least finish at the rim with your dominant hand...

[G R E Y]

Sidy block! But another O board against leads to a corner 3...

[G R E Y]

Sidy great timely cut and Dom patient with a double on him to find Sidy.

Dom O board, well done.
