MEMO TO KELDON - DRIVE WITH THE **** BALL!

Post #42 » by **G R E Y** » Wed Dec 27, 2023 2:36 am

HEY! SPURS HUSTLE! Devin deflection, runs down the ball, saves the possession, passes back to Tre the trailer for the layup. 15-15 in the Q, and we've cut a 12-point deficit down to 4. Let's go.

Keldon an absolutely FILTHY NASTY dunk!

We passed in side to Zach to break their zone D, Zach dribbles out, Keldon cuts, nasty NASTY dunk.

BLUR BLAKE for the D board and the bucket. GOOD HUSTLE!

Contest and protect the arc, Spurs! Doing a great job driving to the basket and getting FTs but now allowing 3s against. Quite the switch. Can't hope they miss, we have to make them.

They drove into the paint and Keldon's back was somehow turned towards that action. Please someone explain that.

We get it to within 1, Tre has a FT to tie it, misses it, and then we allow a late Q stretch and ANOTHER corner 3 for a 7-point deficit.

3RD Q: SPURS 92 JAZZ 100

We closed the gap this Q but lost it 36-33, a second consecutive 30+ point Q against allowed.

We are STILL having five Spurs in the paint on their kick outs. And then our feet grow roots, nobody moves, or they move too late, for open corner 3 after open corner 3 ... after open corner 3.

They have all but closed the 3s gap and though we did better to get to the FT line, we are still behind.

Good job by Keldon to push the issue on drives.

Blake showed great energy on both ends after Branham got yanked by Pop and didn't see action again.

Protect the paint and rim, protect the arc, create better shots for easier, quicker points.

Sure sure sure. Keep taking outside shots when working inside is working for us.

Wemby like four times (twice in his last two possessions) has dribbled full court and not passed it ahead soon enough in transition. Bad reads. Needs to be smarter with giving it up to teammates already ahead and in advantageous positions with defenses on their heels.

Post #51 » by **G R E Y** » Wed Dec 27, 2023 2:58 am

Wemby gave up on the contests after staying with their shooter. Not a great game from him with decisions and hustle and shot selection.

We need more from him on both ends frankly, and better.

lmao Keldon dribbles to the right corner and heaves a contested 3 miss. Nobody touched the ball on that possession. Brilliant.

Oh, forgot there was a game tonight.

Looks like the team forgot also :lol:

We stop at the screen, no **** effort to get around it by Julian, and they hit a wide open 3.

SIT ANYONE WHO REFUSES TO FIGHT THROUGH A SCREEN.

Too bad Mamu and Dom aren't getting a chance to play.

We have SEVEN points at 5:45 mark of the 4TH.

The 3RD Q woes have transferred to the 4TH Q.

Post #56 » by **G R E Y** » Wed Dec 27, 2023 3:10 am

We have Tre, Devin, Keldon, Sochan, Wemby in with just over five minutes left.

Post #57 » by **G R E Y** » Wed Dec 27, 2023 3:10 am

^ THE darling lie-up everyone is lusting after. Let's see what they do together.

Maybe Pop has some genius plan he is working on, but I honestly can't believe what he is letting guys get away with this year that he would have been in other guys asses in the past.

Tony Parker is probably like WTF Pop???

Wow Wemby off game. He just spun into the defender for a swing through and the defender just... took the ball lol

Also, that swing through must be HIGHER. Why do it within reach of opponent hands?

Well Tony came up with a different-expectations team for sure. He was molded into playing up to the level of where others already were.

We are obviously in a different situation. Pop yells at our guys plenty, but there is also a lot to learn.

Just saw a replay and two of our guys got confused as to who was supposed to get on up, who was to sag. Both froze.

Anyway, I really like Keldon coming off the bench (just not the chuckasaurus tendencies).

I would LOVE to see Sidy at the 3.

Sochan has been terrific ; Wemby underwhelming.
