Good movement to start. Better energy.

Too many 3s allowed.

[G R E Y]

Boxing out.

Apparently completely eludes us.

[G R E Y]

Devin inside. Generates a foul. Good.

[imagump1313]

Yay! We have not stupid uniforms on!

[G R E Y]

Keldon scored after getting the ball back but he was too slow in making a decision with the ball up top. he had two shooters on the weak side left and waited for a screen rather than passing quickly.

1ST Q: SPURS 25 CELTICS 30

Stream was absolute ass. Not much to say about the game so far as the viewing was choppy AF, but let's move the ball more and faster, get to the arc to contest harder, and BOX OUT.

[G R E Y]

If we could just get the right angles off the glass on drives...

[imagump1313]

Our offense is still soo ridiculous.

Whoever brings the ball up dribbles around with blinders on and waits until he cant possibly get a shot off, then jumps up in the air and makes a prayer pass to someone who is already guarded.

That guy then dribbles around some more not looking to do anything else but hope the defender falls down so he can shoot.
Then when he absolutely cannot get a shot off he jumps in the air any prays someone will catch his jump backwards pass.

Then that guy dribbles around looking at the floor until the shot clock is about to expire and chucks up a flailing prayer being guarded by three guys.

And all the while im thinking to myself, Why is our coaching staff letting this happen?

Where the **** is the help D? Hello????!

Well they have to go through the reps. And we get to see how they improve or not. And who we keep or not.

Good God

I dont know who's PA announcer I hate most. Boston's or Philadelphia's

[G R E Y]

Fast break set up for a 3 that didn't even hit the **** rim.

Branham *CLANK*


RUN A FUNDAMENTAL FAST BREAK!!!

2ND Q: SPURS 45 CELTICS 70

What's worse than allowing 30 points in the 1ST Q?

Why allowing 40(!) in the 2ND.

gump is absolutely right about our O - guys taking turns, not making the right reads and passes. Credit to the opponent for stingy D forcing us into secondary options, but those seem to be chucking away.

3s: We are 4-20 to their 13-19(!). That's 27 points alone. *sigh*

Does anyone know what Branham is doing? Does he?

Someone just posted this on the GB:

?s=20

He has scored 307, 0-3 from 3.

Blake with only 3 minutes. He deserves more.

Wemby leads us with 14 on 6-11, 2-4 from 3, 3 boards (1 on O), 3TOs.

Devin 2-6, 0-3 from 3; Tre 2-5, 1-4 from 3; Julian 2-50-1 from 3; Sochan's turn to stink it up inefficiently so far with 1-6, 1-3 from 3 but 5 boards (3 on O), 2 assists, 3 steals.

We lead with boards on both ends, but we are getting rushed into shots (we have 4 more total FGAs) and making far fewer of them.

Get more shots inside, get more physical, get moving, and playing together better.

GSW for me. OOF stratospheric homerism.

3RD Q: SPURS 78 CELTICS 94

HEY we won another 3RD Q! 33-24.

I'm going to have to rewatch this game. Missing too much of it.

Not even sure what we did better this Q.

Who's more off their game - me or the team?

[G R E Y]

Devin right there at the rim. Jrue gets a pass and put it right up in Devin's face without a hand up to contest or anything.

Devin 3 miss.

Had Wemby right under the rim to pass to. FFS.

[G R E Y]

I don't know how/if it's possible, but Sochan has to learn to run faster. He sort of jogs with long strides.
