Which version of us shows up most consistently is going to determine the outcome we get. We know what to do, we know that putting our best players in their best spots gives us best chances, so stay true to fundamentals and resilience and put together a complete game.

We're setting up right plays but not for right players.

Castle 3? When we have Barnes and Dev? And Wemby?

Castle struggling to score from just about everywhere. Oof...

Couple this with Dev's struggles and we have a disadvantage on O from among the starters.

Dev J. Nice.

CASTLE FAST BREAK THUNDER DUNK ON BROOK.

Maybe we want to guard him at the arc better, though, eh?

Julian nice hustle over top screen and contest of Dame heave. We whiffed on the O board - box out, gents - but we are showing good awareness and effort on D to a man.

If we could just FINISH OUR MAKES AT THE RIM...

And then BOX OUT on both ends...

And protect our arc better...

Is that too much to ask?

Nice Keldon baseline drive. We cleared space for him well, too.

Stephon still hunting the drives. But he won't get those calls yet. Yes he's been fouled on two of them, but welcome to the league, rook.

1ST Q: SPURS 27 BUCKS 31

Well we have some alert D but for not boxing out and not getting after perimeter shooters enough.

One thing we can learn from this opponent early is their finding right players at the right spots. Yes their C has taken four 3s, but he's made 2. Lopez can hit these. We don't need to set up actions for Castle there, for instance.

Our back court of CP3 (0-1) and Castle (1-5) is struggling. Again. Dev (2-6) is going through it, too.

Good bench balance of right guys in right spots and right plays for balanced scoring.

But Wemby is on an island on O. He - and we - need help.

RUN PLAYS FOR GUYS TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF OUR GUYS' STRENGTHS.

Really good transition play, board, head up, runner out on wings, pass ahead, we just are not finishing at the rim.

Castle GREAT D switch, then Wemby comes over for the blitz double and we steal.

Then we miss a 3...

We've gone away from sets and towards screen and cut and reaction to action on O. Not convinced that's better. We need guys to get go-to sets going.
