2ND Q: SPURS 65 JAZZ 55

Well well well. Turns out having starters back in general, and Sochan in particular DOES make a difference. He's a beast on D, and leads all players with 13 on 4-9, 1-3 from 3, 4-4FTs. B-b-b-uuuut we ShOulD HaVE DRafTeD SoMEOne elsE!!! **** losers. All he's done is improve month to month, showing more of his O game, vastly improving his FTs all the while maintaining a high level of defensive quality.

It takes the pressure off Keldon who can score more easily when he isn't the sole or main target of defensive schemes. He has 10 on 5-10 with fine physical drives and good angles off glass. Keldon also leads the starters with 3 assists - love seeing that. He's been a willing passer, and has made some terrific defensive disruption TOs with swipes at the balls. Not giving up on plays even when a driver gets by you is huge.

Collins is all over the place on both ends in the best way with 10 on 4-5, 2-3 from 3, team high 4 boards, 2 assists, 1 steal, and 2 huge blocks.

Graham leads the bench with 10 points and leads us with 3-5 from 3. He also leads the bench with 3 assists. Terrific court vision and experience in drawing defenders in with fakes, drives and timely dishes.

Bassey has been a recipient of good passes for open dunks.

We have 16 assists, 23 boards, but are down 7-4 on O boards wo we have to be mindful about giving up second chances.

We only have 6TOs so we MUST keep up the excellent ball protection.

We did a great job absorbing their runs and counter punching and have to be ready for the flurry that's coming our way.

Start strong, stay strong, finish with poise.

[G R E Y]

Utah fandom is so white. Is this the most homogeneous crowd in the league? Them and OKC have to be up there as 1, 2.

[G R E Y]

So that's Malaki and Collins with 3 fouls now... Something to keep an eye on.

[G R E Y]

REALLY nice work by Diop to get that drop step into the low paint and lays it in.

[imagump1313]

How is that Collins third foul? Ive seen him called for at least 5 and I missed half the first quarter.....

[G R E Y]

Keldon, mate, know who you're going up against on those drives. That's a big shot blocking tall C. Can't expose the ball like that.

[G R E Y]

TWO quick fouls on Collins who was our biggest stat stuffer in the first half ****...

[G R E Y]

**** THREE quick fouls to start the Q...

And FINALLY we get a whistle our way.

By the way, LOVE the bully drive and body control earlier by Sochan to clear space and make the quick layup.

[G R E Y]

They're driving on us over and over while we take jumpers by bigs.

Then they get all five of us in the paint, stun us like deer in headlights, kick out, wiiiide open 3.

Pop timeout.

[G R E Y]

At this rate this game might not bloody end till 1am.

We have to match and return the energy foisted on us. Scramble, think, push hard.
