Spurs and Bucks went a long way to a 32-all tie after 1Q. Those who paid for the Doug McDermott (11 points) vs. Giannis (8 points) duel are getting their money’s worth so far. – 9:04 PM

Again, it’s early but that felt like a significant momentum swing. Jones swatted on a layup attempt that would have put Spurs up eight, MIL counters with a Robinson jumper, then Bryn Forbes airballs a wide-open 3. – 8:59 PM

To answer a question from the preseason: Pop doesn’t think it is mandatory to stagger Murray and White’s minutes. We’re seeing Tre Jones on the floor without them for the second night in a row. – 8:55 PM

Pop reiterated that without a “lot of go-to type guys” they can give the ball to and say, ‘Score,’ the young Spurs “have to do all the little things well for more of 48 minutes than their opponents.” – 7:30 PM

Pop on where Keita Bates-Diop is in year 2 with Spurs:
“Just a continued quest to get confident and get more demonstrative in his game. Those are the things he needs more than anything. It’s not about skills or anything like that.” – 7:22 PM

In addition to Bud & Team USAers Holiday & Middleton, Bucks also have former Spur & 13-year vet George Hill
“It’s always neat to see George,” Pop said. “I was at his wedding. He’s always been one of my favorite people. It’s great to see he’s still playing and contributing.” – 7:09 PM

This was noticeable yesterday, but the Spurs have gone to Keldon twice in the post now (team leader) in the halfcourt.
Poeltl is the only other player on the roster with one post-up on the roster so far through 2 games. – 3:43 PM
