Yeah I wanted to say earlier, Romeo has gone left and finished with the right hand nicely this game.

[G R E Y]

This Julian dude just made another 3 lol

1ST Q: SPURS 32 ROCKETS 29

With all due respect, I can't believe how bad our opponent is. That's all I'll say about that.

We're going deep into our lineup giving guys more of a chance to play and there's Julian with his first Spurs points. There's Barlow in in the 1ST. Hoping we see Mamu soon.

HEY IT'S MARIO ELIE!

At one point we had rookies, G-League call ups, and recent acquisitions.

Sochan tried to do a splits dunk, pretty effort.

We're 5-11 from 3 and 7-8FTs so we're taking and making more arc shots - good! and driving with assertiveness to get to the charity stripe. Eight assists already to only 2 TOs is solid.

Four steals and 3 blocks are signs of some good team D.

But we're getting clobbered on the boards 14-9 and 6-4 on O boards.

Keep up the ball movement and physicality, box out.

[G R E Y]

And there goes our lead...

[G R E Y]

If we're only playing vet Dieng sporadically to give minutes to younger guys unless they're in foul trouble, the same should be the case for Graham.

[G R E Y]

Pop with the super tall front court lineup: Collins, Diop, Mamu, Tre, Graham.

Mamu with the step back 3!

[G R E Y]

**** get Graham out of the lineup!

Put Romeo in!

[G R E Y]

Seriously. GIVE THESE MINUTES TO ROMEO.

[G R E Y]

Great drive by Tre off glass high and gets the foul.

[G R E Y]

VET GRAHAM HAS 20 **** POINTS.

We don't need to give minutes to a VET.

We need to give minutes to OUR YOUNG GUYS.

BLAKE. ROMEO.

****.

[G R E Y]

Goodness a comedy of errors wow lol

[G R E Y]

Sochan tears his jersey after some TOs, Pop laughs as he offers support.

I love the competitive spirit. We take the growing pains.

[G R E Y]

I **** HATE Sengun's FT routine.

STAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHP BREATHING ON THE **** BALLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!

[G R E Y]

Mamu has some pretty nice court vision and passing wow...

[G R E Y]

DUNKATHON.

Well we're allowing it, so...

Have to clean up the D.

[G R E Y]

Nice work by Sochan at their rim.

Then it's a 1 on 1 at our basket.

WHERE THE **** are our players in transition D?!?!??!!

[G R E Y]

Sochan 3.

Sochan drive, gets striped I think but there's CBass with the O board putback.

We're lucky they whiff on an end of Q layup...

2ND Q: SPURS 68 ROCKETS 70

We scored 36 this Q, FIFTEEN POINTS by GRAHAM -- WHY?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! He leads us with 20 on only 9 attempts, but these are a team high.

I don't care about the result, I care about a rebuild being about development.

We're scorching from 3 for 11-20, rebounding better, but have to a hard time keeping up with their pace - or are we not bothering to run back because we're shooting well? These have come back to bite us when our shooting has fallen back to average levels. Have to play better D and that starts with basic effort on transition D.

10TOs - so 8 this Q - cost us 16 points in total so far. We allowed 41 points this Q and that's unacceptable. Don't try to outscore them either. Let's get some actual D stops.

Sochan's had some nice two-way flashes. Love the 4-4FTs.

Pop's played everyone but Dieng so far. And everyone but Barlow's scored. We need to redistribute VET SHOTS among our young players. PLEASE.

Stick to fundamentals and hustle. Let's go with the YOUNG SPURS!

Pop needs to remember what he did 27 years ago.

When Vernon Maxwell was hitting threes he would bench him so he couldn't shoot us to victory.

You've got chucker Graham eyeing off another career high against the worst team the league has seen in the last decade.
