SPURS GAME DAY! GAME 36: SPURS AT BULLS, 6-1-2025, 7PM (CT)

[G R E Y]

Steph ANOTHER pass attempt while in the air, baseline, again deflected. Dev in for Castle.

Don't get cute, rook, keep it fundamental.

[G R E Y]

Good space and man D coverage for anticipating passes and getting steals.

[G R E Y]

Bassey a bit loose. Didn't box out on either end, didn't run back hard on D, cost us points.

Just got a basket, so got one back.

Aaaaaand there's Sochan with a terrific position for the O board and putback.

[G R E Y]

Sochan doing yeoman's work on the O boards. We had three chances because of him. Barnes got the FTs. 1-2.

[G R E Y]

Bassey bit on fake and got taken on a reverse.

Bassey bit on a fake and fouled a scored basket.

DEAR PATFO,

WE

NEED

BETTER BACK UP

C

OPTIONS!!!

[G R E Y]

We once again had FIVE Spurs in the paint and gave up an wide open 3 on a late contest.

[G R E Y]

Bassey steal.

Dev pushes it.

Alley to Wemby who somehow *EXTENDS* for a dunk!

[G R E Y]

Very pretty Wemby-Sochan two-man game.

[G R E Y]

Wemby, mate, who was that for in the third row?!

[G R E Y]

2ND Q: SPURS 65 BULLS 50

One the one hand, we gave up 30 points; on the other, we poured in 36.

Overall, a very good team effort, starters to bench.

Wemby leads us with 12-9-3-4 blocks but also with 4TOs.

Strong efficient suport from all other starters, everywhere except from the arc. To that point, though we didn't score there well, we didn't over rely on it and balanced the scoring with terrific movement, passing, and finishing from the rim to middies.

Far more confident, quick, assertive decisions. Perhaps that quicker .5 'just decide and do' accounts for some Wemby TOs and Steph mid air passes.

Bench has 21 points, everyone scoring. Everyone but Bassey has also registered an assist.

Good balance of the 10-man unit. Good D -5 blocks, 7 steals. 26 boards, though we could do even better if we box out.

23 assists already.

Just make sure we make the most of every play. Keep pushing our transition game at them!

[G R E Y]

Sochan smart, patient, spins inside the paint, gets it past three defenders.

[G R E Y]

About three slightly weaker possessions, got scored on each one.

EVERY

PLAY

COUNTS!

[G R E Y]

Dev another terrific hunt down block.

[G R E Y]

CP no 3.

Dude just please be the distributor we need you to be.

He's actually a respectable 2-4, but 0-2 from 3. I know he can hit a dagger, and I guess being up a bit gives us some breathing room, but early clock airball ain't it.

Crush them with what we do best.

[G R E Y]

Wemby step back 3.

Wemby block.

Quick five-point swing.

Devastating.

Then O board dunk.

PHEW!

[G R E Y]

CP3 can't buy a **** bucket. Paint middy swirls out.

Our 19-point lead down to 12 on giving up a 7-0 run.

They're beating us down the court and to key spots.

Good timeout to stop the run but we have to come our raring with energy. Push back to mitigate their momentum. Poise and pressure, D to O. Let's go.

[G R E Y]

That was the ATO? A Wemby middy miss? Followed by a long 3 miss?

*sigh*

We built our lead by going at them right down the middle of the paint.

And then we ewnt away from it...

FINALLY CP3 drives and get FTs.

[G R E Y]

CP3 using Bassey screen to perfection to get to the right elbow middy.

Then follows with an off the dribble 3.

Quick CP3 5-0 run. Vintage revived!

[G R E Y]

Castle bites on the fake, fouls. Welcome to school, rook.

[G R E Y]

Oof that O possession.

CP3 directing guys off a screen as he had a C on him to take advantage of. We react too late.

Castle end of clock 3 heave miss...

Wasted chance from not recognizing what we could have had there.
