SPURS GAME DAY! RRT EDITION GAME 53: SPURS AT NETS, 10-2-2024, 5PM (CT)

[G R E Y]

2ND Q: SPURS 48 NETS 60

We got outscored 27-18 this Q. Once again, 3s and points right down the middle.

Zach is a **** problem in a bad way. Not sure what the **** happened to his game but he's getting outperformed on D by Dom Barlow. Like basic reads and reactions of P&R defense, contesting, boxing out...

Speaking of boxing out, Sochan got lit up for being out of place several times.

We're too tentative at their net. We're getting imposed on in half court D as they're very physical and in our space, fighting for positioning which gets us to stop moving for some reason and guys with the ball waiting for *something* to happen.


It's basically fighting through outside inefficiency by us (39.5% overall and 29.4 from 3 but 100%FTs) versus high efficiency by the opponent - 56.8% overall and 52.9% from 3. We're getting hammered inside and at the arc. MOVE. SWITCH. CONTEST. REBOUND.

[G R E Y]

Wemby gets us started with a fake and drive layup. Better.

[G R E Y]

Terrible awareness by us on their drive. Again. Nobody picked up the trailer.

And more 3s raining down on us.

[G R E Y]

It's really **** tough to compete when THREE STARTERS COMBINE FOR **** 6 POINTS ON 2-9, 2-2FTs.

Looking at you, Julian, Sochan, and Tre!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[imagump1313]

There is just no movement, Just standing around. And if anyone happens to be going to the basket the pass is off like it was a mistake.

[G R E Y]

Branham has a LOT of **** nerve showing frustration with WEmby not passing to him quickly when he does the exact same thing to the same player. And then looking off him to shoot to boot. **** dummy.

[G R E Y]

Breaking: Branham passed the ball. By choice not by default because he couldn't shoot.

[G R E Y]

3 clank

Dom O board tap out

3 clank

Maybe set something up, yeah?

[G R E Y]

And we keep flirting with misses, and allow a 5-0 run against to end the Q...

[imagump1313]

Jacque Vaughn's beard is soo nasty. Ewwwww

[G R E Y]

Make that a 7-1 run FFS

[G R E Y]

3RD Q: SPURS 75 NETS 93

That's a 7-1 run against to finish the Q, including an inbounds alley oop dunk with .4 left. Cedi was there but suffers from being too short to contest a C.

Bad spacing, bad movement, bad shot selection, mostly of the outside variety.

We're falling into the trap of trying to do too much individually and not trusting enough collectively. I'd rather our mistakes come from the latter.

Wemby (19 points), Devin (12), and Keldon (19) need more help.

Julian, Sochan, and Tre are STILL combined for 6 points.

Zach 0-2; Dom 1-5; Branham 1-5.

We're getting grilled from the arc.

Our pace is one of our strengths. Maybe pick that up. Maybe.

[G R E Y]

Julian 3 miss. **** off.

[G R E Y]

Blake steal, drive, reverse layup. FINALLY.

[G R E Y]

Julian fouls a 3s shooter. **** dummy.

[G R E Y]

Devin bad pass inside to Wemby. He was sealed behind and in front in the paint.

[G R E Y]

Devin 3.

Devin P&R with Wemby, gets the layup.

[G R E Y]

Again. We score 2. We given up 5.

Not a winning formula, gents...

[imagump1313]

This is really embarrassing

[G R E Y]

Nice Sochan - Wemby - Sochan passing for the latter bucket down low.
