1ST Q: SPURS 21

CLIPPERS 22

I mean, yeah sure, letting them hang around with our TOs and misses is one strategy, I suppose, but I like the one where we play balls to the wall hustle and SMARTS.

What the hell was the end of that 1ST Q with all the misses?

Lonnie's keeping us in it, frankly.

Doug and Devin are still not scoring.

Let's limit the TOs, gents - SEVEN in the 1ST Q alone isn't getting it done.

[G R E Y]

Now THAT'S a quality forceful start to a Q!

[G R E Y]

Keep pouring it on, lads, keep pouring it on!

Thank goodness Sean Elliott is back!

[G R E Y]

FINISH THE Q STRONG, SPURS!

[G R E Y]

Not a good focused stretch there where we gave up multiple second chances that they eventually scored on followed by their 3 for a 5-0 run. We were just up 16 points...

Good timeout by Pop.

[G R E Y]

What's up with Lonnie and late Q fouls, man?!

What's up with Lonnie and late Q fouls, man?!

I like that he is starting to try to make something happen rather than be passive. He just has to pick his spots and know situations better.

2ND Q: SPURS 56

CLIPPERS 47

Well we had a 16-point lead in the 2ND Q but let up a bit for a nine-point lead, but it's also a ten-point swing from the 1ST Q.

A very solid 35-point Q output on the back of 8-20 from 3, matching them at the FT line, and protecting the ball - only 1 TO in this Q - much better!

They are outpacing us with 51-46FGAs, but part of that is also because they have a 12-8 O board advantage, some of these on a single possession wi=here they had multiple attempts followed by a Pop timeout.

Doug and Devin have each made a shot but still struggling. DJ's still cooking for us.

Our bench is fantastic with Derrick making 5-7 for team-leading 13 points, followed by 9 from Lonnie and 6 from Diop.

Nothing burgers from Primo and Drew, so we need Drew at least to provide bettter support for Jock who is holding his own versus their bigs.

Point in the paint are just about even so we have to be ever diligent in keeping them out of our key.

We'll have to keep protecting the ball, keep making our 3s, and do a better job on the boards in our end.

[G R E Y]

So first three shots by us are 3s.

I wonder if we recognize that we're being lulled into these?

DON'T SETTLE FOR OUTSIDE SHOTS, SPURS!

[G R E Y]

What's up with Lonnie and late Q fouls, man?!

I like that he is starting to try to make something happen rather than be passive. He just has to pick his spots and know situations better.

Yeah you're right it's an improvement. Sometimes I think he's a sort of sacrificial focus lamb of my anger.

[G R E Y]

LET'S PROTECT OUR ARC, SPURS!

[G R E Y]

I do love that we're aggressively driving and getting to the FT early!

[G R E Y]

THEY MISS 3 THEY O BOARD THEY HIT 3. **** GET THE **** REBOUNDS IN OUR END, SPURS!
