Game Thread Dec 26, 2023 06:00PM MT: Jazz at Spurs

[Isaiah 1:13]

This Spurs team is hungry and plays better without Wemby right now.

 

[Moonlight Graham]

Seems like Keldon Johnson always plays well against us.

 

[SteakNEggs]

Zone is not working

 

[MT Steve]

Clarkson is not playing defense.

Watching him on defense the last several possessions is driving me crazy.

 

[Elizah Huge]

Keyonte has a long way to go on defense.

 

[fishonjazz]

good show of athleticism I give him that. But now it’s just a 4pt lead

Ya the lead right now has nothing to do with that play.

If he would have just laid it up then the score would be the same

I hate the zone.
Plus it seems like it makes Kessler's great defense get neutralized. Let's guys get clean passes in the paint with space and allows them to go at his chest with momentum.

With man defense he can put his body on them early and they can't get momentum going and then he can shut them down

Clarkson giveth and he taketh away. If he’s the only one to go I’ll deal with it. He’s been a good ambassador for us though!

 

[SteakNEggs]

That was an action packed quarter

 

[fishonjazz]

Nice to see tech shooting back on again

This game would be a double digit blowout at this point if the Spurs weren't shooting out of their minds from 3.

 

[fishonjazz]

Wemby is 1-4 from 3 and I know he has a really bad percentage on the year.
I would sag off him a bit (not a ton but enough to encourage him to shoot and still be able to contest a bit) and hope he shoots some more threes

Let's get Lauri some looks.
He is 7-10

No I think we should continue to challenge Wemby at the rim and give them free fastbreak opportunities after the inevitable misses.

 

[fishonjazz]

Keyonte had Lauri wide open for three and attacked wemby to get stuffed instead.
SMD
Maybe gotta take him out for dunn

Lauri is destroying Wemby right now.

It has its uses but 5-6 possessions straight with it not working kept SA in the game and gave them some energy. You're right, that massive dunk probably doesn't happen with Kessler not out at the key.

 

[fishonjazz]

Easy for Lauri against wemby. Keep feeding him
