SPURS GAME DAY! GAME 30: SPURS AT BLAZERS, 28-12-2023, 9PM (CT)

[G R E Y]

Branham right corner 3.

I guess we just want to heave 3s and triple down on it.

[G R E Y]

FINALLY a Keldon drive into the paint, spin and high teardrop for 2. Well well well. It DOES work.

[G R E Y]

TWO MORE 3S MISSED.

STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP **** ATTEMPTING 3S!

STOPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP

STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP.

STOP.

[G R E Y]

Camera pans over to Pop talking to Devin. Hopefully it's something along the lines of "... and if you take another **** early clock 3 without bothering to run anything or not trying after getting beaten on the screen by the driver there will be fire and brimstone hell to pay..."

[G R E Y]

FINALLY Devin cuts back door and finishes a great Zach bounce pass with a dunk.

[G R E Y]

Zach P&R with Cedi for the layup.

[G R E Y]

Devin 3 miss.

**** me.

There was a WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDE open lane for him to drive through, too.

[G R E Y]

Devin is so heavy footed, man. Like it's so surprising for a guy whose calling card coming into the league was 3&D.

Slow and plodding on D, and then settling for stubborn 3s misses. Just so disappointing and selfish from him, man. Stands out really badly as out of what we're trying to do.

Leadership isn't calling your own number for the wrong shot time and again. It's making an impact in other ways.

[G R E Y]

And now the Devin-Tre special, wherein Devin caln't beat the defender with his dribble and passes out to Tre who takes and misses a 3.

CUT, DRIVE, FINISH AT THE RIM, SPURS!

[G R E Y]

3RD Q: SPURS 87 BLAZERS 74

We somehow salvage something of this Q, losing it only 29-28. But that's two Qs lost in a row worth 11 points combined because we KEEP DOING THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT GOT US A BIG LEAD.

We keep settling for 3s - namely you, Devin, We refuse to drive through the open lanes, we pull back at the easiest of resistance rather than cut and keep moving to get open for drivers, pass around the arc and settle for 3s even in transition.

Devin keeps getting beaten off the dribble on first steps.

And we refuse to box out which is costing us a lot of second chance points.

WORK THE FUNDAMENTALS, SPURS.

HUSTLE, EFFORT, BBIQ.

[G R E Y]

Better work your asses off getting to the FT line, Spurs.

[G R E Y]

Sochan 3 "...two feet short" per Blazers announcer FML

[G R E Y]

Funny how you can hear Keldon no matter how full the arena is lol

[G R E Y]

Wemby D board.

Wemby outlet pass to Tre.

Wemby runs ahead.

Tre alley oop.

Wemby dunk.

Opponent timeout.

It really IS that simple!

[G R E Y]

It could just be the camera angle, but from behind it looks like Wemby shoots FTs left of center, aligning his right foot up through to his shooting hand with the center of the basket instead. Interesting (if accurate).

[G R E Y]

Zach ready to pass, Branham SHOULD HAVE CUT but didn't, we pass out and settle for a 3 miss.

BRANHAM, CUT TO THE BASKET AND MVOE THE **** OUT OF THE WAY SO YOU DON'T CLOG UP SPACE FOR THE GUY WITH THE BALL.

MOVE YOUR DEFENDER AWAY FORM THE GUY WITH THE BALL WHO WANTS TO PASS TO YOU.

****.

[G R E Y]

Sochan great pass to Zach down low for the dunk.

[G R E Y]

Doug ahead to Devin for the dunk.

[imagump1313]

Scoot Henderson really showing why we should have taken him number one over Wemby tonight. Just like he said

[G R E Y]

Devin directs Zach to the left block, passes to him, who gets the bucket in the deep paint.

GOOD!
