HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLY ****!

Devin alley oop to Wemby who **** sailed through the paint rectangle for the dunk!

[G R E Y]

Love it when Wemby has a too high alley oop and just bounces it off the back board for Sochan to follow and dunk it.

[G R E Y]

Nice move Zach. Good footwork, spin, touch on jump hook.

[G R E Y]

Zach just sags far too much and is too slow to contest.

[G R E Y]

Well my stream konked out for like 2 minutes or so and now it's 55-38 LOL

We have 13 points at just over 3 and a half minutes left in the 2ND...

OOF

[G R E Y]

Nice alley oop Tre to Sochan, has a mismatch but he passes out to trailing Zach who gets by shot blocked assertively for the layup.

One of the few forward motion drives by Zach. Finally. Effective.

[G R E Y]

Bunnies. SO MANY BUNNIES.

[G R E Y]

Sochan is shorter but he should have been boxing out but he was outside the opponent big who got the O board dunk.

2ND Q: SPURS 45 CAVS 67

*sigh* A 37-20 drubbing in this Q has us down a lot with little answers.

Too many 3s - they have hit 7 but it really feels like twice as many - as have we!

And it's a low FT game but we're still down making 2-4 to their 6-7.

But really it's SO MANY MISSED SHOTS AND BUNNIES.

We only have 18-59FGs made, so nearly half of our attempts are the 3s. Damn.

It's really the crux of the matter, even if we don't have an answer for their huge front court that is making just about everything.

We are doing other things well -- only 5TOs, winning boards 32-29 and a whopping 18-4 on O boards but we can't put the ball through the hoop.

Better contesting this Q yet still the makes disparity is clobbering us.

Our hero back court form last night - which combined for 4-13 in yesterday's 4TH Q, has now combined for 0-10 in the first half. That's right. Scoreless back court. Devin -17. Hero needs to do other things, contribute in other ways when the shot is not falling.

The bench back court of Blake and Branham have combined for 0-5.

So that's ZERO POINTS FROM TWO BACK COURTS - FOUR **** PLAYERS.

Keldon leads us with 16 on 7-10. Where would we be without him?

Wemby has 9 on 3-9, 2-2 from 3, 1-2FTs,team high 8 boards (3 on O), 2 assists, 2 steals, 1 block.

Sochan leads us with 4 O boards.

Zach has looked better on O but is getting hammered on D. No bounce even if his positioning and fight are there. Sags too much, and contests Js too late. -23.

Can we please play with some energy? I know we played last night. But we're also young! Play whoever hustles. ANd Wemby for as long as he is able.

[G R E Y]

Julian travels.

TO.

After he **** up what he was supposed to do, which is just lob it into Wemby on the left block. He chose to fake and dribble a bit. **** turnip. You think you'd be starting for any other team in the league??! ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS MAKE THE RIGHT PLAY QUICKLY.

You could hear Pop yelling, "JULIAN!" followed by what he was supposed to do.

JUST GUYS NOT DOING BASIC BASIC **** THINGS TO RUN OUR SETS.

SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT JULIAN!

[G R E Y]

Wait WHAT?

Graham's Mom had him when she was 14. There's a word for that........................................

[G R E Y]

Wemby fakes and draws three defenders in, finds Tre back door cutting for the layup.

[G R E Y]

FINALLY Devin gets a whistle. Goodness.

[G R E Y]

12-0 run by us!

[G R E Y]

FINALLY a full court transition pass ahead that Julian finishes on a drive and tough physical finish.

[G R E Y]

They shoot and TWO SPURS TURN AROUND AND RUN BACK TOWARDS OUR RIM.

You couldn't **** make it up.

SOMEONE CONTEST. You don't need both turning to the basket. Dummies.

[G R E Y]

Keldon GREAT MAN D chasing his man through screens to stay with him and contest well.

[G R E Y]

Wemby called for the foul.

Pop challenges.

We win it.

[G R E Y]

OH FFS!!!

Devin drives into 2 defenders.

tick tock tick tock

passes out to Zach who **** dribbls some more, ZERO clock awareness, shot clock violation.

[G R E Y]

We trim it to 16.

They got a 5-0 run.
