SPURS GAME DAY! GAME 69: SPURS VS. MAVS, 15-3-2023, 7:30PM (CT)

[G R E Y]

Blake with a quirky off foot shot, releasing it one step earlier. I thought it was a one off but he's done it enough times now that it's an intentional move in the toolkit.

[G R E Y]

Bill is a bit off. That was Dieng with the block, not Barlow, it's ok.

But then after they get blocked they foul us on our end of Q shot.

My goodness the BBIQ...

[G R E Y]

3RD Q: SPURS 94 MAVS 88

Blake earned that end of Q foul. We are now 11-18FTs, however, so some work to do.

Graham is tied for second most minutes with 22. He's also made a team high four 3s. We can't be relying on a vet for these.

Please for the love of development, Pop, GIVE THE REST OF HIS AND DOUG'S MINUTES TO THE YOUNG GUYS.

We're getting outrebounded 36-31 but doing well on O boards 9-7.

STILL only 5TOs which is fantastic.

LET'S GO YOUNG SPURS ONLY lol

[G R E Y]

Wow what a nice spin move inside for 2 by Dom

[G R E Y]

The perils of biting on a pump fake.

[G R E Y]

Romeo O board tip in lol

[G R E Y]

Blake O board putback.

WOW.

[G R E Y]

Yeah that will ALWAYS be a Pop timeout.

We left a 3s specialist open.

Pop timeout.

[G R E Y]

Barlow seems to be getting under opponent's skin.

[G R E Y]

Wow we had... I lost count how many chances...

[G R E Y]

So we have Blake, Tre, Mamu, Keldon, and Barlow in with just past the halfway point in the Q.

[G R E Y]

WOW...

[G R E Y]

Just... WOW...

[G R E Y]

That was an INCREDIBLE ATO.

[G R E Y]

4TH Q: SPURS 121 MAVS 121

The BBIQ late in this game is tremendous. Stupendous.

We lost the lead on a series of TOs, and then fouls, and then missed FT and a violation.

Then we benefited from a tremendous, stupendous play.

Then Pop drew up a masterful ATO. Great execution by our guys.

Gave the trust right back to Keldon. That's a top tier coach.

[G R E Y]

OT: SPURS 128 MAVS 137

WTF did we just watch?

gump is probably putting on the defibrillator on himself.

Hope you're ok, mate! lol

[G R E Y]

Not sure if we caught the whole post-game interview or just the tail end, but if the former, that was one of the quickest Pop interviews ever.

You can tell we want to win. You can tell we had guys out there who wanted to win. You can tell we have a long way to go. And all these things are etched on Pop's frustrated face, and Keldon's disappointment.

[Phreak50]

The players wanted to win sure.

Pop didn't. He wouldn't have sat three starters if he did.

Mind blowing we don't receive a fine for these rested players. Silver clearly doesn't give a toss any more.

You clearly missed the medical / availability report that teams submit. Or don't care that players returning from from surgery or major injury don't play back to backs. That covers Devin and Collins. Sochan said after yesterday's game he's not wholly pain free either. Tre tweaked his ankle again but gutted through it. Keldon's wrist still hurts, hence the brace.

There is zero reason to push players this late I to the season.

And Pop had the starters we had for this game back in late.

Either you don't know or don't care but impute motives either way.

IMO I don't care who it offends if it looks like we are tanking. Everyone does it because that's the way the draft is structured. We did it before and got Tim Duncan so FU to everyone who complains...

If Adam Silver doesn't like it, FU also. You're a big reason why teams tank.

As for us. I really don't think its an obvious tank like other teams. I've been sitting here for 69 games almost having a heart attack every night because we seem to come dangerously close to winning every game we freaking play.
