HEY look at that - first play, we pass to Wemby and he scores.

[G R E Y]

Also Keldon is once again being targeted, switched on or driven on when he gets a perimeter player. Something to keep an eye on.

[G R E Y]

Hahahaha I love how Sochan was there trying for that alley oop and Wemby dunked on him lol

Good paint awareness on D, push back on O and giving the ball to the #1 option early and often.

[G R E Y]

Excellent breakdown by Sean about how we missed an easier Wemby alley oop earlier.

Recognition and response need to be quicker.

[G R E Y]

Times we hit Wemby on the alley - 1

Times we had chances to do so but didn't - at least 3-4 so far. It's a third of the way through the 1ST Q.

PASS THE BALL TO THE TALLEST GUY WITH HIS HAND UP.

[G R E Y]

We're settling for 3s again - don't like the one and done attempts.

[G R E Y]

0-6 from 3 so we keep taking them rather than setting something else up.

As nice as it is to have Sochan at 'point' on D, the court vision in half court sets isn't there. Wondering how long before we switch the starting group up.

I'd like to see Tre, Dev, Sochan, Wemby, Zach.

For this game, we have TWO attempts in the paint so far, two at around the right elbow, one left block, and the rest all outside.

THINK, EXECUTE, inside.

[G R E Y]

Keldon bad LATE rotation we got saved by their missed 3.

[G R E Y]

HEY a bounce pass for a baseline Sochan dunk.

[G R E Y]

Like four baskets in a row inside now. Timeout worked.

[G R E Y]

Keldon with his arms up BEHIND THE PG who had dribbled into our key. WTF is this?!

[G R E Y]

11 points at the 4 minute mark... oof.

[G R E Y]

BREAKING: Malaki passes and gets an assist on a Sochan cut a baby J in the paint.

[G R E Y]

Yeah I like Tre on their midget PG and Sochan on the wing.

[G R E Y]

Nice screen read by Malaki. Smooth bucket.

I dont like Wemby shooting fade aways. He should never have to shoot a fade away ever.

1ST Q: SPURS 25 ROCKETS 23

And end of Q 3 given up but it was contested well and you tip your hat for a bank shot from the arc.

We fought back from 5 down to 5 up until that last shot so good swing.

The O is a grind and you can tell we're thinking too much about "running the play" with Sochan on the point. He also does far better at the wing position once Tre went in.

With a shorter PG opponent, Tre should start but I get it, we want consistency. It's just something we have to keep an eye on - how long this tall starting group gets the run to start. It can put us ahead or behind depending on how the 3s are falling, and tonight we were chasing the shot early.

We're struggling with efficiency, but settled in better as the Q progressed.

Project get the ball to Wemby earlier and on alley oops shouldn't be this laborious. Pass the ball high to the tallest guy with his hand up.

Otherwise Wemby is struggling with scoring because he's creating outside.

We were ok on D except for when Keldon was targeted. Sorry but it stood out.

We look more out of sorts on O somehow to start the game, and two-thirds of the way in the Q something clicked but it's a bit like running through mud overall.

[G R E Y]

Dev 3+1. Sweet.

Dev pretty drive, spin, and finish.
