Somebody upstairs needs to tell Mitch that Castle has to play more

[scott]

Also, I feel Vassell being tried out in the Manu role is something that the Spurs should work out only after next season. The reason why I say this is that Vassell has been net negative outside the lineups featuring Wemby, CP3 and Castle. He isn't a microwave scorer like Lou Williams or an elite P and R creator/scorer like Manu (in the extreme versions). He has to stay in his lane of being a good three point shooter and a decent finisher against a scrambled defense and a solid help defender when surrounded with on ball talent. That is a better way of maximizing his potential and his play. Considering this, his salary might be overpay, for sure. But with the cap going up, % wise it won't hurt much until the Spurs need a trade if they have to loosen their purse strings for Wemby..which is still 2 years away, right?

If that's what we need, and you don't like Devin as the 6th man, then I think you just trade him, because there a lot better (and less expensive) guys who fill the role you are describing.

I definitely wouldn't wait 18 months to figure all of this out (after next season). I'd give it the next 30-whatever games are left to figure out and then make the moves that we need to make. I actually expect them to include Vassell, because our FO gives a lot of leash, but I think they should be more critical in this specific evaluation over the next 2 months. Just my personal opinion... but my avatar reveals my bias

Castle only 10 minutes in the first half. Seriously Mitch, tbh.

[PICK-N-ROLL]

Castle 13 minutes 12 points. Mitch

[Manu-of-steel]

WTF is Mitch thinking. CP3 on a 2nd night of B2B still on the floor!

[Cardinal]

So far basically same amount of playing time as Biyombo

[DAF86]

Seriously, this is so ing dumb. After Wemby went down, priority #1 should be getting Castle as much developing time as possible. For real, this weak ass pussy, he's not coach material. This guy really made me wish for Pop's comeback.

[spursparker9]

13 mins 12 pts. 0 min in 4Q

[Manu-of-steel]

Still no Castle. Mitch!!!!

Pop would do the same lol. Remember begging him to try Dejounte and Derrick White at the same time early on?

[DAF86]

It's gotten to a point where we need to start hoping for injuries on our own players for the ing coach of the team to do what he's suppossed to do. ing pathetic.

Well, at least it would be Pop doing it and not this ing puppet.

[objective]

Obviously he got way too much attention during the all-star weekend and now the coaches are going overboard in burying him so that he can get over himself.

This is the Pop way: sabotage and misuse

[lefty20]

Gotta protect Castle's old legs on a b2b. Good call, Mitch!

[spursparker9]

CIA Mitch giving back Castle his rest time if he did not participate in the AS weekend.

Rest > Overwork. See Wemby's injury. His blood clot on the shoulder is likely due to over repe ion doing overhead motion (i.e. shooting motion)

this had to happen last year. after we mercifully ended point sochan experiment we turned to point branham. we didnt begin starting Tre Jones until after branham got hurt

Bryn Forbes is a recurring member of my nightmares

[ffadicted]

This is a ing joke. Play Castle of GTFO. Nothing else to say, this is a ing embarrassment to the fans and the development of our team.

Paul + Barnes + Vassell + Champagnie = 10 points in 80 minutes
Castle = 12 points in 13 minutes

Like what

You skipped over point Cedi

[dn0774]

Did Castle get dinged up or something? 13 mins? If not, this is literal coaching malpractice and if the front office/Pop is in on it they shouldn't be surprised when this chases away a talented young kid going for RotY, about the only thing fans have to hope for in this season from .

For all we know Pop could be telling him to do this behind closed doors.

[onechance87]

yea media should be calling out mitch for this.This is not right.What kind of development is this .

[RC_Drunkford]

well that's how Pop usually found the right line ups too. That's how he figured out he should start Tre Jones at PG last season.

[RC_Drunkford]

also why is the 2nd youngest team in the league starting 3 players over 30?

[Ice009]

I don't understand what the is going on. I like De'Aaron Fox and all, but the reason I'm watching these games without Victor is Stephon Castle. If they're not going to play him, I'm not interested in watching this .

Spurs get down in a big hole to start the 3rd quarter and Steph is brought out there with 3 minutes left in the 3rd quarter. Did he do something wrong in the first half (except get underplayed)? I expected to see him start the 4th and he's benched again after a 3 minute stint in the third, so I came on here to see if he played any more of the game as I wasn't interested in watching the rest of the 4th if you guys said he didn't play the rest of the night. Turns out he didn't, so I turned it off.

If this is "get over yourself," Steph needs to ask why he's not playing.

[SpursGenius]

Dumb halfbreed mutant coach. What do you expect. Either that or ole hag senile telling him to.
