SPURS GAME DAY! GAME 6: SPURS VS. RAPTORS, 5-11-2023, 2:30PM (CT)

We return home after a successful road trip carrying momentum into this pivot game. Yes we have had some rest, but it's a tricky first of a home and travel back-to-back going east for two road games. We have to channel the resilience, energy, and good two-way team pace to continue building on our winning ways.

WHERE: Frost Bank Center, San Antonio, TX

Devin is thankfully only out day to day but he's out for this one and will be sorely missed. Our second best player and 19PPG, white hot shooting and solid D are very hard to replace. Others will have step up, and Sidy is back:

Yup, I really hope they continue to do this in the future. Love that I can watch this at a reasonable hour today.

Sucks that we're without Devin. Raps haven't started with the best record, but they've still been decent defensively, so I can see some scoring lulls, especially when Wemby or Keldon sit. We'll see.

Huge markets! Smart business plan, even if afternoon games usually have sleepwalk starts. But at least conditions are the same for both teams.

Cedi and Doug have been consistent. Cedi in particular has been a nice surprise. They'll likely get more minutes today.

Sidy is reluctant to shoot but is a very solid defender. I hope he gets some minutes today.

Julian and Malaki have to find their shots. Today would be a great start.

Enjoy the game!

Here in Europe early evening football (soccer) games are popular, around 3-4pm starts. I get that in the NBA there are more games and therefore more traveling around for road games, so earlier starts are likely not conducive to better basketball.

But it's nice to sit down and watch a ball game before dinner sometimes.

Molasses and too deliberate. half court grind rather than transition push. Started with a block against. Sochan should know better.

Wemby thinking he was still playing in France on that one. Still appreciate the hustle.

Yeah seems like I've got the Raps feed. No issue, their announcers seem fine.

Sochan MUST get better at the bunnies at the rim. He's not a good 3s shooter yet so the rim drives and glass angles must be consistent.

Better result second time around (good bounce).
