If CP3 insists on playing more even if he's not helping the team, Id rather let our rook learn on the fly by letting him play more. I have seen many games wherein CP3 was actually being a negative, yet he played more minutes compared to Castle. I know there is a fine line between letting CP3 play and getting our rook valuable time on the floor to develop. Is it CP3 or the coaching staff? Or a combination of both?

CP3 is a net negative on the court for some time now. On the plus side, that helps us achieve closes losses like even to a bad team tonight.
CPS is one of the few reliable off the ball three point shooters on this team. And he gets the ball to Wemby better than anyone.
Yup, I was the one who brought this up in the GT. We have had a lot of games where Steph brought us back, again not necessarily that we went on to win.
On a team with not enough of it he oozes BBIQ and grit for that matter.
Yeah, I remember now. Good observation IMO. The Spurs didn't win a lot of those games, but we wouldn't have had a chance to win them if it wasn't for Steph's play.

He is way up there on my Favorite Current Spurs list, but apparently it was him who left the woman-beater open for the game-winning 3. Clearly a smart guy, but he does some goofy stuff at times.
Over helping on D has been an ongoing plague but the silver lining is next year would be the one to fix that. Obviously we only have 6 guys who should even sniff the floor in the playoffs and most of them are not even ready for it.
He just turned 20, mistakes happen.
Castle played 31 minutes tonight. Who cares if he was first off the bench?
Since they got into a hole that took them the whole game to dig out of, in a game they lost by 1, maybe you should care.
Agreed
He makes mistakes in every game and that’s totally normal for a rookie
Better make them now than later, and he is smart and learm from them
I’m not worried
Was Castle coming on a minute or two earlier going to mean that the Spurs weren't going to be largely bad for the first 3 quarters? Really? Explain that one to me because I didn't realize that Castle coming on a few minutes early was going to mean that other players magically played better.
Did this loss break all of you? JFC this is the dumbest this forum has acted in years and that's saying something.
Castle is so smart he probably was thinking ahead to the L gets us within a half game of Portland for the #9 lotto seed and keeps us -1 in the win column.
Is he the only player on our roster besides Wemby who had a 30-point game this season?
Champ had 30 against the Kings and Keldon had 28 against the Bulls, noone had more than 25 other than those two games.
Not sure how, yet again, you fail to understand such simple basketball concepts as momentum or shooting confidence. Put a better defender in the starting lineup and a guy who hits his first two shots and has a good night maybe misses that shot and struggles instead. It is literally why coaches pick better players to start.
It is utterly mystifying that someone who cares enough about a sport to post on a message board thinks it's just magic that things happen the way they do with different personnel on the floor.
Don't ever change. You're a hilariously unserious person. It takes commitment to willfully fail to understand things the way you do.
Do you not understand what first off the bench means? I means we're not talking about whether or not it would have been better for him to start. Go back and reread what I posted that you replied and then tell me how I'm the unserious one when you're apparently illiterate.
People in this thread are complaining he wasn't first off the bench. I responded to that. I literally made comments that he should start over Paul, but that wasn't the discussion.
SO serious of a person.
Lol don't ever change. Just move the goalposts. Back to the ignore list you go.
Of Castle can be come our new Manu, im not againt it...
Actually Fox Is supposed tò be our new TP and Wemby out new TD...
Plus we have the privilege for next season tò choose/trade for more good veterans and possibly quality rookies 2 lottery picks
He's a way better fit off the bench in his first season, as i've been saying.
I’m okay with Castle playing off the bench if he plays 30+ minutes, especially closing the game. I think the coaching staff has recognized that. The thing that they need to recognize is Champ on a defensive stand instead of CP3
Yes, me moving the goal posts based off the literal text in the post you quoted but were too stupid to read. I'm heartbroken that the #1 poster in the serious rankings is going to take ignore me. Nothing says LOL like TELLING someone you're going to ignore them. So damn performative dude.
I think he fits better with the first unit but only if Devin deffers to him in the offensive pecking order so maybe it is better to have him off the bench and allow him to get more touches.
