The first of a pre-Christmas, three-game road trip commences without Wemby who has a sore ankle. We do what we can with who we have ready to go. No mystery - D-out, team and fundamentals first, good to great. Let's show consistent energy and hustle. Fight hard.

GO SPURS GO!!!

Agree with Sean about our urgency in running back on D. Sure Giannis was driving, but it's like within the first couple of minutes of the game. NO trotting back.

Also, Devin leading the transition with team mates ahead, Zach cutting to the basket and Devin dribbles across the key out to the other side for a 3 miss. Pull up 3 in transition. Just UUUGH... And it's Devin, too, he knows better.

Too soft in running back, not smart decisions on O. PUSH AT THEM. Effort is non-negotiable.

Great ATO. The call, not the execution. Too tentative, hesitant in the moves.

I know we are young but I don't understand why we aren't getting on guys for ball security, poor shot selection, laziness and just plain stupidity.......

We miss from everywhere and our bigs are TROTTING BACK on D leaving our guards to handle a big driver. ****.

Five points at just past the halfway point. One basket in the last six minutes.

What is this? Game 26? And I still have no idea what we are trying to accomplish offensively.

Neither do our players....

Zach standing there watching the Portis shot WITHOUT GETTING A HAND UP TO CONTEST THE SHOT. ****.

Cedi effort and IQ. It's not that hard, Spurs. Follow him.

Man I'll take that call lol

Mamu 3! Fake and side step to get it, too.

Sochan. Left hand. Off glass. In. Nice pocket pass from I think Tre.

Pop already rubbing his forehead on the Sochan tech for fouling before inbounds. I wonder how long his patience will run with a regressing PF?

1ST Q: SPURS 26 BUCKS 44

If the starters are not going to hustle and play together let literally any other Spur get out there. All of the reserves are hustling, running on both ends, passing to one another - if anything, a bit of too much overpassing - and actually thinking out there.

We continue to start outside-in and when the 3s are not falling, and so far they are not - 1-8 - the starters' energy just drained from their feet. The effort and mental fortitude is inexcusable. The next step is sitting anyone who doesn't want to execute basic concept like running back on D, and giving up the ball in transition, and effort.

Finally a drive by Devin. Nice backdoor cut, nice pass Branham.

Keldon shouldn't be getting his first FG early in the 2ND. But good effort to drive by Branham and Keldon.

Ok yeah I get why we're disincentivized from driving -heard that hack on Keldon's arm from here.

Our drop C coverage leaves too much space for little pocket P&Rs around the paint.
