But he needs to work on his FTs. Too many 1-2 at the line.

Year 3: Sochan STILL has rookie level awareness and know how in finishing at the rim with craft.

Lost track of the number of times he has been swatted from behind simply because he did not think of/sense/glance at a possible defender behind him. Just takes it straight up, blocked, falls, legs flailing or pancaked chest first.

Unserious rim finisher.

*sigh*

As I finish above, Sochan hits a right corner 3 then makes a steal to transition layup.

Blake steal and dunk. Then forces an off ball foul gets under their skin.

1ST Q: SPURS 36 RAPTORS 16

Hard to consider this effort worthy of a pro game. So we take advantage of it. We have 18 points on 10TOs.

Blake early 1ST Q PT, 2 steals and 6 points (3-3) in 5 minutes.

Dev leads us with 10.

We are at like barely 6-6.5 foot on pedal level and already up 20.

Wow...

It's rare making Champie look like an All Star, but by golly they're doing it.

2ND Q: SPURS 62 RAPTORS 40

Not a real game.

We have 22 points on their 13TOs.

The rest of our numbers are frankly pedestrian. Ok shooting. 17 assists. Even getting outrebounded. But we are not facing a real pro effort or respect for the game today so...

Will need Castle to be featured more. Only 5FGAs.

Keep pleasing the basketball gods. They're always watching.

3RD Q: SPURS 97 RAPTORS 63

It's such a gimmie game that Champie is making dunks lol

Dev playing well but he probably gets tougher contests in practice.

Castle and Kelson struggling with efficiency but it doesn't matter to the outcome, just personal focus and pride.

Basketball gods always watching. Let's keep playing the right way.

4TH Q: SPURS 123 RAPTORS 89

It is blessedly over.

We did our part. Played the right way. Pleased the basketball gods.

Dev had a nice game. Made more of the tougher shots per usual. Led us with 30 minutes, with very balanced PT distribution throughout for the rest of the team.

Castle was inefficient but did well to drive and get to the FT line, making 8-10, part of a terrific 27-32 team effort.

Champie looked like an AS.

Even Malaki got minutes, that's how uncompetitive it was.

27 assists. Good. 14TOs. Could and should be better. 15 steals. Excellent. Poured in 123 with ease despite not shooting particularly well.

Didn't get complacent. Did enough of a bit of everything good.
