This game is important. We will never catch NO but we can leapfrog Portland and Chicago with a couple more losses. Then we can set our sights on Philadelphia and Brooklyn. LETS GO BOYS! More Champaigne! Less good basketball!

:lol: yeah every home tandem understands the assignment.

I do like how Daniels breaks the game down and gives the Spurs their due flowers. Also good insight into what their team can do better.

Devin's confidence is shot.

His form has followed suit. Far too forward leaning body. Connontes rushing it. When he's clicking and not thinking about it, he has textbook form - upright jump, balanced, high release over his head.

Right now, he's rushing the release, and the release is forward in front of him, and his entire body is leaning forward, too.

Just get back to basics, mate. Get out of your head. KEEP SHOOTING like in practice. No one there. Just you and the ball and the basket.

**** Sochan and blown GIMMIE layups, man.

It's just a bad thing to be *known for* as a PF, as an inside 10" player, as a pro basketball player.

Like ****, dude...

1ST Q: SPURS 30 PELICANS 16

Like last game, we got out to a lead, and plateaued.

We ran up the score to 24 and then went stupid passes, stupid shot selection, stupid execution mode. Just stopped playing with fundamentals.

We know what happened last time we left a slither of hope...

Sochan has one of the shortest 7' wingspans in the league.

Just can't keep straight exposing the ball and going at taller guys all the time. Get some craft. Ball protection. Reverse it. Something.

2ND Q: SPURS 51 PELICANS 49

We lost this one 33-21 in what can only be described as understanding the assignment.

Devin end of Q shot miss and subsequent frustration body language is sad to see. Just keep shooting. Maybe get closer to the rim now.

Sochan kept missing at the rim.

We kept missing 3s.

We kept TOing the ball over.

We allowed a big end of Q run.

Aaaaaaand another close game.

Bahahahaha is there a worse pairing than Champagnie and layup attempts?

Good steal though... so there's that. At least.

3RD Q: SPURS 83 PELICANS 79

We 'won' this Q 32-30 but it feels a bit like a srrelf-inflicted pyrrhic victory. Sloppy play and shooting, TOs (14 already). losing the overall and O board battles...

Castle 9 minutes. I missed much of this Q. Is he injured? Because three shots and the low PM are otherwise INEXCUSABLE.
