We're facing a team on the second game of a travel back to back, with significant players potentially out. In other words, it's a danger to take this lightly. Mental approach includes starting with requisite respect and preparation for a battle. It includes focusing on smart rotations and boxing out. It includes dedication to playing hard for the whole game. No matter the opponent. Let's be ready.

WHERE: Frost Bank Center, San Antonio, TX

LOL. I'm pretty sure they are the ones who who have more reason to take us lightly the way we have been playing

Except for this being the first time they see Wemby, I doubt they will be very fired up.

More importantly, do we get our normal floor back and lose the lame uniforms today?

Those are only on Tuesdays and Fridays in November (I think it's only Nov., but the days are correct) for when the tournament games happen.

We've tended to either not take teams seriously (Rockets) or have been frozen by an apparently great team. A well oiled machine like the Heat is formidable so I thought we'd breathe a sigh of relief with two players (Butler one of them) potentially not playing.

Turns out Butler's not on the injury list.

It's just more about a consistency of approach regardless of opponent. It's about us, not them, so I hope we stay centered in that

Well things will be interesting. Time for the anyone can initiate the O for both groups.

Sochan great pass, Zach great 3.

Kelson good close contest on their 3 miss.

I liked that low swing through of the ball in the paint by Sochan. Front rimmed it but read double well to split it.

We also need Wemby to get going closer to the basket.

Missing shots but creating good ones.

Take it hard at them!

KJ over screen well but we still have our Cs sagging way down. They get a J from too much space.

Sochan on Butler on perimeter. Gets screened, Zach does well to now come up and cover the gap and contest as well as look down to make sure he's not in shooter's landing space.

Sochan legs are moving better on D. Stayed with JB again, forced pass, smart switch with Dev, fights through screen to block a 3.

EXCELLENT.

D to O!

Cedi with the late streaking out to contest but they missed and good rebound by Keldon.

BREAKING: Branham drive and dish.

Oof we left a wiiiiiiide open 3s shooter. Got lucky on the miss.

Push harder at them.

Bassey! Great seeing eye pass to a back door cutting Doug and dunk

Bassey patient on D not biting on pump fakes and strong contest.

Basset with the dunk.

Good energy to fight for the ball and generate second chances.

1ST Q: SPURS 29 HEAT 15

Excellent start on both ends, woven through with good energy.

9 assists.

Good shot distribution: Wemby, then Dev, Zach feasting from chances.

Bassey is excellent on both ends.

Sochan D is excellent.

We have to get into their paint and get more chances inside and get to the FT line.

Forward!

KJ doesn't give up, gets block.

Nice rim protection and awareness.

Agree with Sean - don't throw away shots when you have the lead.
