###Spurs/Grizz Official Game Thread### 7PM SA/3PM Hawaii time

[vy65]

If Jared McLaughlin doesn’t get the start, then fire Mitch

[slick'81]

The fox/wemby era begins

[tim_duncan_fan]

It's a wild time to be a Spurs fan.

[100%duncan]

Realistic chances of Fox playing this game?

Always takes a day or so to do the physicals before the new guys can play after a trade

Yea I think Fox debuts the game after this.

Thought so. Wanted the Grizzlies curse to end already tbh

[Spur|n|Austin]

It's a wild time to be a Spurs fan.

Hasn’t it always been?

[DAF86]

I don't pay any atention to the Grizzlies. How are they so good with Ja in and out of the lineup so much? I don't know 90% of their guys. Is it coaching or am I underestimating their talent?

[itzsoweezee]

JJJ has been awesome. Dominant on both ends of the court. Also, the Grizzlies run an offense unlike any other in the NBA and no one knows how to guard it (yet). Their rookie might be having the best season among the entire class, and every one of their role players has been really productive.

[Davidicus]

Yea I think Fox debuts the game after this.

Just in time to lay the hammer on the Hawks

[LeBowen]

Turning point of the season, tbh.
We need to catch a winstreak on this RRT if we're to make the play-in.

Grizzlies beat the Bucks and will be on a B2B, need to come out strong here.
I expect the morale to be high because noone relevant got traded, even though they're a way better team our guys need to show some competitive spirit after all the trashtalking Grizzlies did in SA.

After that, it's Hawks/Hornets/Magic/Wizards with middle two being a b2b. We need to get 3-1 from those 4 games before we go to Boston.

[onechance87]

wemby still sick or is he good to go

[RC_Drunkford]

Wemby said allergies have been hitting since he returned from Paris. Hope he's good to go.

[Bruno]

Memphis have done a great job with drafting and coaches hiring. I really liked that Spurs signed one of their coaches (Michael Noyes) last summer.

Their record is kinda fools gold. They're running that unique offense basically without pick and roll. Teams in the regular season don't really bother adjusting to it, but, in the playoffs, teams will have a whole gameplan against that. Postseason will decide if that kind of offense is legit or if it is just a gimmick.

[Davidicus]

Garza is saying because Bulls have 17 players and need to cut, the trade might not get finalized until after Thu. Would be nice to have Fox for Hawks on Wed.

[Pauleta14]

Vassell needs to walk the talk vs the Grizz after what he said last time.

And allergies could be the unexpected adversary for the Spurs that prevent them from keeping Wemby all his career smh

[ffadicted]

With Fox onboard now, it's WIN time. Let's push for play-in boys, every game is a huge game now.
Would love to see him debut Wednesday but thinking Friday is more likely

[Gandalf]

Garza is saying because Bulls have 17 players and need to cut, the trade might not get finalized until after Thu. Would be nice to have Fox for Hawks on Wed.

‘After’ Thursday? That might be problematic, I think the deadline is Thursday. It would be hilarious if the greatest Spurs trade ever was accidentally undone by missing the deadline. Tell the Bulls to cut two people, it hardly matters even for them which two they cut. :lol

[Maddog]

Another reasonable source that I can't find (too lazy to look really) said same- looking to trade two players and if not cutting them.
The deadline is Thursday, but you can go past if league approves and most everything is done other than a few dotting here and there

[scott]

That means no press conference or public by then either, which I was curious about that. So because of the Bulls, we are going to be short one rotation player and one towel-waiver for the next couple of games?

[scott]

Also gonna laugh my ass off if Vassell and Sochan have huge games now that they aren't trying to tank their own value

[LeBowen]

That means no press conference or public by then either, which I was curious about that. So because of the Bulls, we are going to be short one rotation player and one towel-waiver for the next couple of games?

Would there even be a press coference considering the team is on the road or will they wait to get back to SA?

[scott]

Would there even be a press coference considering the team is on the road or will they wait to get back to SA?

The trade deadline always happens during the Rodeo Road Trip, and in the past Brian has done a press conference back in San Antonio. You might remember the famous incident where Brian got a call and it was showing on his Apple Watch as a call from an agent or something and folks on the internet went wild speculating.

I'd expect a Brian presser back home, and then a Fox and Mitch intro presser on the road at some point.

What kind of sucks is that Fox's first "home" games are in fucking Austin.

[Joseph Kony]

interestingly, Fox is on the injury report as day-to-day while McLaughlin is listed as out...

probably not going to play tonight but that would be awesome

[LeBowen]

Bane is out tonight, Ja is questionable.
If Ja doesn't play, Wemby should despite his illness, we can surely win against Grizzlies without Ja and Bane.

[TheBallsbreakers]

What's Wemby's illness? If he's still out that's probably a serious thing, no?

[RC_Drunkford]

Bane is out tonight, Ja is questionable.
If Ja doesn't play, Wemby should despite his illness, we can surely win against Grizzlies without Ja and Bane.

didn‘t we lose by 40 against them at home without Ja?

[stephen jackson]

lil short handed toniht but should be fine, memphis shoots the shit out the ball

[vy65]

Every game, from here on out, is a must-win.

[Strategic]

Come on Spurs

[100%duncan]

Allergies, allergies, allergies

[Mugen]

Is Wemby playing?

[Davidicus]

Mitch in pregame said he expects him to but will check during warmups

[heyheymymy]

:flag:

[Ice009]

Vassell needs to walk the talk vs the Grizz after what he said last time.

And allergies could be the unexpected adversary for the Spurs that prevent them from keeping Wemby all his career smh

Would allergies actually play a part in something like this? I don't know much about allergies and how badly they can affect someone? Anyone care to explain what it's like?

[100%duncan]

Allergies can lower your immune system in general. Example you keep getting the morning colds, even if you aren't technically "sick" as in infectious, your body is still weakened.

Source: not a doctor

[Cardinal]

Looks like Wemby is active

[Raven]

maybe last chance for blake and malaki to find a role in mitch's eyes?

[spurraider21]

garza wrong as usual. trade official on the nba wire today :lol

[LeBowen]

garza wrong as usual. trade official on the nba wire today :lol

Tbf, they cut Duarte and Craig.

[siraulo23]

Fox playing?

[Dex]

Fox playing?

Doubt it. Dude hasn't been with the team for a day yet, and also has that hand injury

Give him some time to meet the team, go through some practice, etc

[spurraider21]

Tbf, they cut Duarte and Craig.
i know. but why is garza speculating thursday lol. you think the spurs/kings woulda been chill with the bulls pressing the pause button on this deal for the whole week? :lol

they probably gave them a grace period to get what they could get done by some point today

[ffadicted]

I know Fox ain’t here but I consider this the start of our playoff push. CMON SPURS LETS GET THIS RRT DONE RIGHT

[ginobilized]

My boy Eric Gales rippin' it up on the Star Spangled Banner.

[Dex]

Medical emergency courtside just before the tip? Seems pretty serious, hope they are okay

[100%duncan]

Wth is happening

[Raven]

the thing i would like to see the most, is us moving away from switching everything and instead giving castle, wemby and sochan some proper man2man guarding, which is what they are best at.

[Bill_Brasky]

Someone is having a bad medical emergency, Tobey seems shook.

[itzsoweezee]

Are they delaying the game?

[heyheymymy]

Wishing the best possible outcome for the medical emergency

Anyone know what happened?

[weebo]

game cx someone died

[heyheymymy]

It looked like a fan down by courtside and people were motioning for EMT

[Splits]

looks like Wemby is dead

[TheBallsbreakers]

looks like Wemby is dead
You're quite the crass, classless motherfucker, aren't you

[heyheymymy]

what's the advantage of pulling guys back to the locker room? Is there like a sauna back there keeping them going

[heyheymymy]

Jesus people are crying in the crowd

Looked like Keldon was tears in his eyes too

[kxs783kms]

Would you mentally be ok playing a game if you see someone possibly dying?

Don't want to embed since the video isn't a pretty sight.
If you're not into seeing someone receiving CPR, don't open it.

[heyheymymy]

Wow Grizz announcer with the awkward segue of the century

sentiments about life and health right into the Fox trade

[ginobilized]

what's the advantage of pulling guys back to the locker room? Is there like a sauna back there keeping them going

Uh, if it's a courtside fatality, or even a severe medical emergency, that can really jar the nervous system and make doing your job very difficult. No one wants to be a witness to that.

[Thomas82]

Fox playing?

We probably shouldn't expect him until Wednesday the earliest.

I was that guy 2 months ago... I pray he comes through..

[Leetonidas]

This is fucked up. Maybe they'll postpone the game

I was that guy 2 months ago... I pray he comes through..

Damn, I hope you're doing better now.

[kxs783kms]

I hope so if they don't make it.

[heyheymymy]

Glad to hear you made it through, mo

Hope you're doing alright now my dude.

[spurraider21]

I was that guy 2 months ago... I pray he comes through..
!!!

glad to have ya

[mo7888]

Damn, I hope you're doing better now.

I appreciate it. I've had surgery and my last echo showed my heart was getting stronger. I have my next one late next month. It was a nerve wracking situation for my family, who was with me.

[Pauleta14]

Would allergies actually play a part in something like this? I don't know much about allergies and how badly they can affect someone? Anyone care to explain what it's like?


Honestly half joking. I've seen people living a nightmare bc of it, unable to breathe normally, having to avoid places etc

Different people have diff level of pain and discomfort, some also get use to their environment and the symptom get milder etc

I hope Wemby is at the lower stage

[heyheymymy]

Uh, if it's a courtside fatality, or even a severe medical emergency, that can really jar the nervous system and make doing your job very difficult. No one wants to be a witness to that.

Absolutely agree and we will see how much it affects this game should it resume. Terribly tragic and my heart goes out to the fans players and staff in the building tonight. I was more asking from a physical game readiness standpoint but totally understand the mental aspect of it too.

[Maddog]

Just showed a video of Fox arriving and getting off the plane. He looks ecstatic!

[scott]

I was that guy 2 months ago... I pray he comes through..

Glad you are okay. Also, not clicking on LeBowen's link. Hope whatever is this fan makes it.

[Splits]

are they going to cancel the game because some fat fuck who can't take care of his weight keeled over? Oh wait, Luka is in LA now

[Dex]

I appreciate it. I've had surgery and my last echo showed my heart was getting stronger. I have my next one late next month. It was a nerve wracking situation for my family, who was with me.

Hang in there, bro :bobo

[LeBowen]

Players back on the floor, tip-off should be in ~15 minutes.

[Obstructed_View]

I don't understand how the game isn't going on. Be too sensitive, guys.

[BatManu20]

They're not gonna cancel the game. The guy was already wheeled out to the EMS and is en route to the hospital. Game will start eventually tbh.

[Splits]

I'm having brain surgery next month, maybe the NBA should cancel all the games until I recover. I'm watching online, ya know

[Obstructed_View]

Do the Grizz have that little Vietnamese dude who posts up here about himself?

[TXstbobcat]

are they going to cancel the game because some fat fuck who can't take care of his weight keeled over? Oh wait, Luka is in LA now

No. players came back out onto the court.

[kxs783kms]

People in here seeking attention badly.

[TXstbobcat]

They're not gonna cancel the game. The guy was already wheeled out to the EMS and is en route to the hospital. Game will start eventually tbh.

they said they also have to wait for another ambulance to get to the arena before starting the game.

Is it exploratory surgery?

[heyheymymy]

It's a slight delay for a very serious medical emergency let's be reasonable

[Splits]

Is it exploratory surgery?

no. stage 4 benign tumor behind my left ear.

[Bill_Brasky]

The announcer said they had to wait for another ambulance to get there. Required to have one on stand by.

[DAF86]

Wemby said allergies have been hitting since he returned from Paris. Hope he's good to go.

They mees to find a way to get those allergies in check.

[Obstructed_View]

they said they also have to wait for another ambulance to get to the arena before starting the game.
Yeah we were at a HS football game once when that happened. I think it's state law to have the ambulance on site. Clearly it's a good idea.

[Dex]

yeah except I'm not joking for once

Hope everything goes smoothly with your brain surgery. Maybe take a moment to consider people going through life or death situations instead of making light of it.

[Obstructed_View]

I didn't know much about Fox, but I'm pretty damned excited to see this pairing.

[Obstructed_View]

no. stage 4 benign tumor behind my left ear.
That was a joke about looking for your brain. Clearly I'm not as funny as I think I am either.

[heyheymymy]

no. stage 4 benign tumor behind my left ear.

Hope you have a speedy recovery!

[baseline bum]

I was that guy 2 months ago... I pray he comes through..

Wow man, frightening. Glad you're here man, place wouldn't be the same without you.

[siraulo23]

ok so Fox not playing, i expected it but i thought theres a slim chance he'll play because of the pregame interview with Mitch

[SpursBills]

no. stage 4 benign tumor behind my left ear.

Can't tell if you're joking or not dude - I assume you are. Stage 4 tumors have metastasized and by definition are not benign but maybe that's the joke here

[Manu-of-steel]

Only a lucky few cansurvived that type of illness. Majority don't even make it to the ED.

[Splits]

That was a joke about looking for your brain. Clearly I'm not as funny as I think I am either.

np, love you always OV

[Splits]

Hope you have a speedy recovery!

thx buddy

[LeBowen]

3+block streak alive!

[Splits]

Can't tell if you're joking or not dude - I assume you are. Stage 4 tumors have metastasized and by definition are not benign but maybe that's the joke here

I'm not joking. It is 22mm in diameter. It's benign, has been growing for over 20 years.

[scott]

The guys look energized... like something happened recently to give them a little extra pep in their step.

Castle still driving straight into blocks though

[BatManu20]

Castle legit has some of the worst tunnel vision I've ever seen :lol. Reminds me of a young Dwyane Wade in that regard tbh.

[spursfan 73]

I swear half of Wembys turnovers are uncalled hacks by guards.

[scott]

Steal party tonight!

[BatManu20]

Sean Elliott is such a homer :lol

[LeBowen]

Flu game in the making!

[Bill_Brasky]

Victor gets fouled every time

[scott]

I'm not joking. It is 22mm in diameter. It's benign, has been growing for over 20 years.

Hope all is well and you recover quickly

[100%duncan]

"Foul" :lol

[Bill_Brasky]

Morant gets that call though against Vic lol. Of course.

[BatManu20]

Weak call but Wemby has a habit of doing that tbh.

[100%duncan]

Here's to hoping we get a back-up C soon. This Jeremy experiment is not it. Fucking derailing the development of your young guy for the 2nd straight season.

[scott]

For those of you unfamiliar with Fox, watching Ja tonight is a good warmup. They do a lot of similar, though not identical, things. De'Aaron does it more with speed and Ja with explosiveness, but they have similar midrange/floater games

[Raven]

castle getting a rough assignment today.. but hey, gotta get to school sometimes

[Pauleta14]

Micth need to get at the refs sometimes to defend Wemby's non called fouls, go take your technical ffs

[scott]

Here's to hoping we get a back-up C soon. This Jeremy experiment is not it. Fucking derailing the development of your young guy for the 2nd straight season.

Honestly I thought maybe we'd turn a corner with a little more trust in Bass, but it doesn't appear so. I can't get behind this Sochan at center shit. Two years in a row Jeremy is being put in situations he can't win.

[Slippy]

The back up centre situation is definitely a concern. Coach has no faith on Bassey it seems

Spurs very careless turning it over on drives atm.

[Dex]

I'm not joking. It is 22mm in diameter. It's benign, has been growing for over 20 years.

All ribbing aside, hoping for the best for you Splits. That's some heavy shit right there

[Obstructed_View]

np, love you always OV

Ditto. Good luck on your surgery, bro.

[Obstructed_View]

How do we have a mad scramble that ends with nobody in 20 feet of Ja?

[BatManu20]

Ja Morant just loves playing the Spurs. This dude fucking owns us tbh.

[Obstructed_View]

ok so Fox not playing, i expected it but i thought theres a slim chance he'll play because of the pregame interview with Mitch
Last I heard, the trade isn't official because the Bulls have 20 guys on the roster.

[Splits]

Hope all is well and you recover quickly

thx, it's scary but I appreciate the support. if I die or become an invalid, you can have my post count

[Dex]

How do we have a mad scramble that ends with nobody in 20 feet of Ja?

Without Wemby, everyone collapses into the paint and our rotations get broken

[100%duncan]

Honestly I thought maybe we'd turn a corner with a little more trust in Bass, but it doesn't appear so. I can't get behind this Sochan at center shit. Two years in a row Jeremy is being put in situations he can't win.

Yup. It's bad enough that Sochan has his own obvious deficiencies. But he isn't even given consistency by his own coaches.

[Spurminator]

Jesus

[scott]

I mean, I can get Sochan at the 5 against a team like GSW... but against the Grizzlies while they have Edey and Aldama on the court? It just makes no sense... even if Bassey (or if we still had Collins) are the worst centers on the planet, you at least need the size.

[SpursBills]

I'm not joking. It is 22mm in diameter. It's benign, has been growing for over 20 years.

Sorry to hear that man, all the best wishes for your health

[scott]

With every dribble he takes, the odds of Devin bricking the inevitable shot increases.

[Splits]

All ribbing aside, hoping for the best for you Splits (https://www.spurstalk.com/forums/member.php?u=24583). That's some heavy shit right there

comes with age I guess. funny part about it is that my 11 y/o son asked why I never went to the doc since I've been deaf in my left ear forever, finally did, they suggested an MRI and found it. I'll be fine.

[Slippy]

No surprises. Good defense but cant get the rebound

Jeremy at centre

[BatManu20]

Sochan has been hot ass these past few games

[Dex]

Someone remind me why Sochan is un-tradeable?

[Spurminator]

Can't remember the last time Sochan dribble driving to the basket ended well.

[100%duncan]

Lost count of how many games we've lost this season due to 2nd chance points. Those situations just kill us in the 4th even with Wemby on the floor :lol

[TheBallsbreakers]

Last I heard, the trade isn't official because the Bulls have 20 guys on the roster.
It's already official.

I appreciate all the kind words guys..

[benefactor]

no. stage 4 benign tumor behind my left ear.
Damn bro. Hope all goes well.

[Spurs Homer]

Spurs players need to learn one simple thing…

when they see wemby at the table checking into the game- someone on the floor has a green light to aggressively go after a steal and if they miss/fail then foul

to get wemby into the game instead of running up and down the floor bricking shots for 3 minutes straight while wemby is unable to enter the game

[Splits]

Sorry to hear that man, all the best wishes for your health

thanks buddy. just grateful it isn't malignant.

[Larry O]

I blame the coaching for allowing Sohound to play small ball 5. He is such a mismatch for a team with size.

[spurraider21]

castle having another baptism tbh :lol

[LeBowen]

Back to reality after all the trade hype.
There's very little value on this roster if we're talking serious basketball.

[scott]

Devin's been a lot better today. Sochan looks like he's still purposely tanking his own value.

[Splits]

Damn bro. Hope all goes well.

thanks brother, we shall see, March 11 surgery, if you don't see my troll posts by May you'll know I'm ded

League Pass showing Manu v. Suns highlights during the break to cleanse my eyes

I think Vic might have been on the floor. Pop-coached teams sag and cheat down for LITERALLY NO REASON WHATSOEVER. They've been doing it for years. Maddening.

[scott]

Already counting all of the transition possessions that Fox will completely transform. That last one where Wemby hit Castle on the left at half court, where Castle went into the half court offense, Fox would have taken straight to the bucket for 2. We're talking Tony Parker level shit about to come back to San Antonio

[Dex]

I think Vic might have been on the floor. Pop-coached teams sag and cheat down for LITERALLY NO REASON WHATSOEVER. They've been doing it for years. Maddening.

You're not wrong. And then it's no surprise that teams go off from three against us

[Larry O]

UGH! The Spurs just can't take advantage of scoring opportunities, but at least they keep pounding the rock, to where they are down by two. GSG!

Good luck bro. Need the troll posts.

[Dex]

JJJ's three-point jumper looks more busted than Sochan's :lol

[TheBallsbreakers]

Castle tunnel vision. I know he's a big part of the future but he's just dumb with his shot selection at times.

[BatManu20]

I mean Memphis is a top-5 team in the league right now so even keeping it competitive with this roster is a win tbh. I just want our guys to limit the dumb mistakes and quit giving up so many damn offensive rebounds. We give up a ton of size to this team (and pretty much everyone we play) so some of it is understandable, but a lot of it is guards and wings getting long rebounds cause our guys don't box out when the shot goes up.

[BatManu20]

Castle tunnel vision. I know he's a big part of the future but he's just dumb with his shot selection at times.

Very. Luckily that can be improved upon with time and coaching. But he definitely has a ways to go in that regard. Developing his jump shot will also help with this, won't feel the need to force contested shots at the rim.

[LeBowen]

I mean Memphis is a top-5 team in the league right now so even keeping it competitive with this roster is a win tbh. I just want our guys to limit the dumb mistakes and quit giving up so many damn offensive rebounds.

They're on a b2b, we just need to stay within single digits and hope they run out of gas in the 4th.

Wesley sighting!

[Dex]

This lineup...this is not my kinda lineup.

[spursfan 73]

Mitch cannot be fucking serious with this lineup right now

[spursfan 73]

Yea man can we please trade Mitch’s bum ass already or what

[Robz4000]

Team can make all the trades they want but it won't matter until they get a new coach tbh.

[BatManu20]

God why couldn't we have traded Keldon tbh :lol

[NASpurs]

Jesus Christ this team.

[scott]

Bassey provides a really valuable presence on the boards and protecting the rim, but he's just completely in the way usually on offense. But our entire offense is PnR and DHO... wish we had some other plays we could run that just keep him out of the way

[AusSpur]

We still need a real coach

[BatManu20]

This lineup is awful Mitch. Need some subs here buddy.

[Dex]

PLEASE TAKE WESLEY OFF THE FLOOR FFS

[Larry O]

Blowout here we come, SMH...

[100%duncan]

It's looking like 21-26 win loss will be the starting point of the Wemby Fox Era. Must win games vs Atl, Cha, Wiz incoming.

[Obstructed_View]

Charles Bassey and Blake Wesley just ... don't know how to play basketball.

[ginobilized]

Getting ugly quickly with the Care Bear friends club in there

[objective]

A lineup without Wemby, Paul, Castle or Vassell ....

Gee, I wonder if Big Brain will ever learn about what's wrong with the results

[Obstructed_View]

Sure glad they rested Victor for that Heat game.

[Leetonidas]

Embarrassing. Hopefully we don't have to watch trash like this constantly soon

[spursfan 73]

Memphis has some momentum heading into a timeout. Better trot an all bum lineup out there to make sure this game is over by halftime. Great fucking stuff Mitch.

[100%duncan]

Bassey provides a really valuable presence on the boards and protecting the rim, but he's just completely in the way usually on offense. But our entire offense is PnR and DHO... wish we had some other plays we could run that just keep him out of the way

Bassey just looks like he has poor bball IQ tbh. Highly athletic, bully player than can score 30 in the Gleague but is way beyond his depth in the NBA.

[Slippy]

Spurs cant gets stops & turning it over

Collapse coming sooner than the expected 3rd quarter meltdown

[tbdog]

Wemby obviously is sick hayfever or whatever. Just getting gassed within minutes. Wesley and Bassey combo is no good. Johnson needs Vassell out there if your running two legit non scorers.

[100%duncan]

Sure glad they rested Victor for that Heat game.

Yup. That Heat game was super winnable even without hindsight.

[Kawhi Duncan]

This is why I'm not that excited about Fox coming here...our coaching is probably the worst in the league

[scott]

GG Jackson just said GGs. Another massive blowout to the Grizz. I hate these fucking guys

[BatManu20]

Spurs getting their shit pushed in now. So much for keeping it close. 13 turnovers in the first half and counting is pathetic.

[100%duncan]

Vassell still ass :lol

[murpjf88]

The Fox signing was just papering over the cracks. It doesn't matter how much you improve on offense if you can't get a single defensive stop to save your life. Fox will be no savior.

[Bill_Brasky]

God awful display of basketball.

[CGD]

In case we forgot, yeah this roster still needs a lot of work.

[rascal]

Spurs back to turning it over tonight.

[BatManu20]

De'Aaron Fox suddenly reconsidering his trade destination wish :lol

[Leetonidas]

Seriously wtf

[Amuseddaysleeper]

The bench is atrocious

[scott]

Bassey just looks like he has poor bball IQ tbh. Highly athletic, bully player than can score 30 in the Gleague but is way beyond his depth in the NBA.

Yep. This is why need to actively get someone else. Bassey is a fine energy/emergency 3rd C, but he just doesn't know what he's doing

[PhantomDashCam]

Holy Crap…WTF are you guys doing. Somebody get Chicago back on the phone.

[Robz4000]

Welp, this one's over.

[TekXX]

LOL More trades are needed, stop pretending the team scrubs are going to work going forward.

[LeBowen]

Look at the bright side, no way they don't show absolute maximum effort against the Hawks...right?



2025 dunk contest winner!

Stephon "Fuck This Shit" Castle

[Obstructed_View]

The Spurs have done a masterful job of wrecking Julian's confidence in his jumper.

[rascal]

Sochan leaves his man open to the basket

[Obstructed_View]

I really love Castle. Lmao

[TekXX]

Yea yea yea good dunk, make a jump shot.

[murpjf88]

Those draft picks given up in the trade for Fox were more valuable than Vassell and Keldon.

[scott]

LOL I don't think Castle wants Santi to be a Spur the way we do :lol

[Sec24Row7]

Can someone please work victor into the offense?

[Bill_Brasky]

Despite how shitty we are playing, seeing Castle bodybag Aldama was satisfying.

[Robz4000]

Area 51 sighting.

[Spurminator]

Yep. This is why need to actively get someone else. Bassey is a fine energy/emergency 3rd C, but he just doesn't know what he's doing

My main reason for wanting a backup center before the trade deadline is so we don't feel obligated to bring Wemby back in before he's had enough rest. It's an injury waiting to happen. Not even looking for the next piece to a championship, just an NBA level replacement player for the rest of the season.

[LeBowen]

Best non-Wemby player sequence all season long.

[spursfan 73]

That’s my ROTY!

[Bill_Brasky]

OK Steph!!

[BatManu20]

10-0 Spurs run. Castle with 8 of this points. LFG.

[100%duncan]

Yep. This is why need to actively get someone else. Bassey is a fine energy/emergency 3rd C, but he just doesn't know what he's doing

Yup. It's not even "hate-worthy" ala with Collins. He's just limited and that's fine tbh.

[TekXX]

Sean was about to say "shit pushed in"

[Slippy]

Steph Castle show

Glad to see the TOs finally stopped. Spurs are back in this gsme

[Bill_Brasky]

Vassell, what is he shooting from 3, 20%?

[PhantomDashCam]

Castle. Holy hell. Kid has got IT.

[Bill_Brasky]

Damn that was a SC top 10er

[TekXX]

Wemby is winded

[BatManu20]

Area 51 alley-oop was fucking nasty. One of the best plays of the season.

[scott]

Wow, what a run by Castle.

Area 51 delivering the highlights

[TekXX]

Steph is great, still can't shoot

[LeBowen]

Steph is great, still can't shoot

He's actually at 34% from 3pt on 4.6 attempts over the past 9 games.

[AusSpur]

You can see Memphis spend time working on specific matchups and a game plan to reduce the effectiveness of our players and beat the Spurs.

Meanwhile on the other end the only game plan seems to be making sure we a nice and respectful to the refs.

[Pauleta14]

Castle is going to be so special...

We might have seen too low with the Jrue comp

[Mugen]

We are gonna lose this game because of Mitch but that Castle stretch was worth it. Kid is gonna be great.

[CorrectCrusader]

That stretch was why Castle is untouchable. He's got the IT factor.

[CGD]

Stephon "Fuck This Shit" Castle

And Fuck you for trading for a PG, Im him!

[Mugen]

The turnovers were par for the course for these dummies.

But what the actual fuck was that lineup with Wesley and Keldon being their best player? Jesus fn Christ, Mitch.

[ginobilized]

Castle is a tough and talented competitor. Doesn't take shit from anyone. Has quiet confidence. Gotta love it.
2-3 more summers and I bet he fixes most of his shooting issues. Just seems like that type.

[CGD]

He's actually at 34% from 3pt on 4.6 attempts over the past 9 games.

And once he figures out how to finish in contact many more of those drives will be “and ones.”

[ginobilized]

Dayum, Eric Gales killing the halftime show, too. One of the best contemporary blues axe wielders out there

[Gandalf]

Castle is going to be so special...

We might have seen too low with the Jrue comp

I hope so; it would be nice if Castle was that good and years down the road, Castle is entering his prime as Fox is leaving his. Wemby can have a great point his entire career.

[PhantomDashCam]

This Houston Knick game is aspirational. Great play by both teams down the stretch.

[Larry O]

Dayum, Eric Gales killing the halftime show, too. One of the best contemporary blues axe wielders out there

Pretty impressive from the lefty blues ax grinder!

[onechance87]

need kings and suns to lose today.

[Spurs Brazil]

Wemby +8. It’s been a problem the whole season. Hope Fox can help and score some with Wemby on the bench.

[TheBallsbreakers]

Pretty impressive from the lefty blues ax grinder!
Jimi was a lefty.

[Blizzardwizard]

One thing I like about Castle is he's not a pushover which can't be said for many on the roster.


He's locked in, plays with a scowl and doesn't give a flying fuck about the power of friendship.


You can see a real difference in body language on the court between him and the 22-wins-a-year legacy crew who seem to care more about locker room vibes and making friends along the way.

I'm really impressed with his composure, he didn't exactly start the game great but kept playing hard and look what happens, friendship krew should take notes.

Damn you Detroit

[LeBowen]

Fuck these refs, tbh.
