Alexis Morgan, @talkhoops.bsky.social, and I are back again on NBA TV at 6pm ET. Come hang with us.

Oh I'll turn up the ucla slander to 11 now!

@jadubin5.bsky.social and I appreciate you listening to the double dribble podcast!

High level sloppiness from the Spurs today, turnovers in the backcourt at least three, a lot of driving into crowds and the Knicks have fully taken advantage.

Soooo..It's a 10 point lead going into the half, still double digits but with how well they played from about the 4 minute mark in the first quarter to the half, you would have thought it was bigger. Just something to monitor, might not mean anything.

I love the pace with which the Knicks are playing with. One thing I'm watching for over he last 6 minutes of the half, is if they let the Spurs back in this game. Got to keep this a 15+ lead in my opinion.

This was a great defensive possession from Robinson, he took away the lob to Wemby and then any chance Barnes had at a shot.

Tap in with Alexis Morgan, @talkhoops.bsky.social and me on NBA TV tonight. Always fun with the trifecta trio.

Just a massive difference for the Rockets when they close with Reed on offense. It opens up the floor so much. Surprised it took this long for Udoka to go with him.

New @joinoffside.bsky.social NBA Power Rankings - Bucks hot without Giannis, Magic waking up late, Nuggets need health, and the Spurs are the NEW #1 thanks to Wemby's defense.

You always regret the shots you didn’t take. That’s my thought on the Lakers’ loss to the Magic the other night. @joinoffside.bsky.social

This was a great win for the Spurs, not just 10 straight but to come back after that brutal third quarter. Really impressive.

Just another angle of those defensive plays.

Why not have Wemby guard the inbounder? Make it as hard as possible to inbound the ball.

First, Barnes picks Fox clean but holy crap this block from Wemby is INSANE!

The funny thing on this clip, he was the rim the whole time, how do you miss him???

Why did Luka not pull the trigger on that three? He had a good look and then took a dribble in, he handed a grenade to LeBron. That’s rough.

I have no idea how evaluate the Eastern Conference, on Sunday the Cavs lose to the Thunder down SGA and Williams, Monday the Spurs beat the Pistons, Tuesday the Cavs beating the hell out of the Knicks. I have no idea who is coming out of the East.

Spurs exposed a potential Pistons’ trade deadline regret; they bottled Cade up all night, no help means playoff doom. @joinoffside.bsky.social

Impressive win for the Spurs, really dealt with the Pistons physical play well. For the Pistons, I'm worried about what the offense is going to do when teams give Cade hell, Castle was all over him tonight and no one really stepped up.

Cade does not get enough credit for shot block timing. He has three block already tonight.

Just incredible, Wemby with the big block, Spurs run the floor with Wemby just running down the lane, sucking in the defense leaving Vassell wide open for another three.

Spurs give up the offensive rebound but you are seeing the defense fully locked in and the Pistons lack of shooters opens up this rotation.

There is too much to discuss just on this play but look at Wemby communicate with Vassell to take Duren so he can rotate to help Fox who has Harris posting up on him. Holland occupies the same spot as Duren so the Spurs defend two with one. Turns into Cade vs Castle resulting in a Holland three.

This first half has delivered so far. Just a crazy intense game.

It hasn't paid off for the Spurs in this game yet but Johnson is keeping several balls alive on the offensive glass, just haven't converted a bunch.

Makes you appreciate that 3 Steph Curry shot over him at the Olympics

The Pistons are getting a taste of how teams are going to defend some of these guard/guard pick and rolls. Look at how little Harper is guarding Holland. Teams live with this floater from him and Thompson
