SPURS GAME DAY! GAME 23: SPURS VS. PELICANS, 2-12-2022, 7PM (CT)

[G R E Y]

Yeah, gents, Dev can't do that by himself on D...

[G R E Y]

D to O!!!

Would like to see more of a 2 man game with Johnson and Vassell when they are on the court together. I still get the impression that they both play with separate agendas. It would certainly help both of them be more consistent.

Hmm I read that as being a bit to unselfish and wanting to not get inthe other guy's way so they take turns. Agree that they should work on their own two-man synergy as well as with others. Pop has taken to staggering their minutes, too, so there's only so many possessions to go around.

Thats what I'm saying. They are both good enough to push each other in a good way instead of each trying to score every possesion. Staggering them is great for the tank but its not going to win any games or make us better. Lets work on that next year

[G R E Y]

Collins, mate, stop settling for jumpers.

[G R E Y]

lol he heard me! Collins for the dunk off of a nice pass.

[G R E Y]

You can almost always tell when Dev will miss a 3 when his ever high release point is slightly forward. Pushes it and clanks back of rim.

[G R E Y]

Good subbing out of Collins. Settling for the outside shot way too much when our momentum is forward.

[G R E Y]

Good QUICK double of their hulk by Keldon and help D Malaki for a forced pass and getting after the rebound.

Good O board work and the extra pass for the Diop left corner 3.

[G R E Y]

Sure, they're allowed to push us with arms down low for putbacks. We have to keep our hands glued to our sides and get paved.

[G R E Y]

Keldon's missed 3s have too much windup spring to them. When he makes them, it's a more compact movement.

[G R E Y]

Bassey SWAT LAYUP SWAT REBOUND!

[imagump1313]

LOL, Langford wasn't even ready for that pass from Jones. Like what did he think was going to happen?

[G R E Y]

Every time their hulk brings the ball down and we swipe at it, all ball or not, it's a whislte. EVERY. TIME. Bull ****.

[G R E Y]

Good makeup block after the TO by Malaki.

[G R E Y]

Keldon needs an optometrist. The last two left corner 3s have been... wow...

[G R E Y]

Sure. Their PG falls on our big, whistle. We bounce off their hulk, foul on us.

[imagump1313]

See Johnson just standing there right next to Vassell while Vassell forces the hero shot?

Johnson should be moving, making himself available for a pass or cut to the basket. Its the same the other way around. When one has the ball the other just stands around.

[G R E Y]

Advacado is a Spurs-killer

*sigh*

3RD Q: SPURS 71 PELICANS 81

Well that escalated quickly.

TOs, ISOball, bleeding points on both ends. Tie game ended up with another 10-point defict on finalized by three TOs, including a bad inbounds pass *sigh*

To me the feel changed when Collins kept settling for Js and missing. Takes the momentum out.

We MUST stay disciplined and hungry.

Agree with Sean - PUSH THE PACE. No idea why we're Sunday spiring afternoon trotting down the court. THINK. PUSH IT. MOVE. CUT. PASS. DRIVE .

[G R E Y]

Johnson should be moving, making himself available for a pass or cut to the basket. Its the same the other way around. When one has the ball the other just stands around.

Yeah good point. It's sort of emblematic and endemic of the whole team. And I think it should start with both of them setting the example.

TIME AND AGAIN we've seen good results from movement and cuts and extra passes. Time and again we get the doldrums on both ends when we settle for poorly spaced ISOs. It's times like these that Doug is so important - it's like he snaps us out of our malaise. Romeo does it at times, too. We need our top two guys to do it religiously.
