We're now beginning the second half of the regular season with this second of a travel back-to-back. Let's work to raise the floor individually and collectively for the higher ceiling ahead.

WHERE: Capital One Arena, Washington, DC

WHEN: Saturday, January 20, 2024, 6pm (CT)



GO SPURS GO!!!

Looks like Dom is inactive and Zach is active... Ok...?

Devin drives into three defenders and earns a charge on our first play lmao

Dude, try a Euro step or kick out.

Tre lob to Wemby. Easy.

I mean it's RIGHT THERE. Just about all the time.

Sochan falls on their drive and dunk.

Rolls over with legs in the air. Again. Taking way too long to get up. Again.

The opponent assignment is make sure Wemby is covered. Live with all else.

We've gotten two open 3s from it.

Wemby not super crisp to start. Missed two alley oop finishes. Contested, but still.

He's getting bodies by their C on our end, too.

But then he grabs the board, pushes in transition, and makes an alley oop pass to Sochan for the dunk.

Nice.

Wemby allows a C then a bad pass then airballs a too deep 3. OOF sequence.

Nice to see Zach back and as primary backup C.

Keldon basic awareness, dribbling upright, gets ballpoked from behind. We could also make him aware of it.

Branham getting early minutes, bu which I mean in the last 4 minutes of the 1ST.

We now have Blake, Branham, Cedi, Keldon, Zach in.

Zach push shot in the paint then gets a spin and lefty finish.

We are having trouble keeping them from driving deep into our paint.

Balek RIPS the ball out of the drivers hands.

Bucket by us in transition. Good.

God I'm so sick of Branham's dumb plays.

If he's not driving or using a screen for an open J, it's **** detriment.

Casually dribbles, loses the ball on screen poke out TO, and basket the other way to end the Q.

"Way to hustle"

1ST Q: SPURS 37 WIZARDS 36

If we're not going to score, at the VERY LEAST protect the ball, run the clock, and don't allow a steal and bucket against.

END OF Q DETAILS, FOCUS, AND HUSTLE!

Devin cooking 3-3, 2-2 from 3.

Wemby a bit loose and TO prone, and not efficient - 2-6.

We are shooting 3s well to start - 5-8, but NO FTs to our opponent's 7-8 because we are allowing drive after drive inside.


We are not dealing with their physicality well.

Branham *sigh*

More minutes for Blake, please.

Wemby tends to bring the ball far too low in swinging into the defender in the paint and it keeps getting deflected out by their busy hands.

10-2 start against to start the 2ND Q... oof...

Just turned the game on to see we are down 5 and the first thing Sean says is we have to stop turning the ball over

I'm living the same nightmare over and over LOL
