Mitch has done the impossible. He's made me miss Pop's senile ass. Impressive tbh.
If the Spurs draft another guard in the draft, Castle's min will be <10 next season
For his sake, maybe he better pull a Kawhi and force a trade. Not gonna trade him tbh

I know we all keep blaming Mitch but we all know that this has Pop smell all over it. Do yall really think that Pop is not in his ear and has full control over these decisions? We could probably blame mitch for not putting his foot down and stick up for himself and be his own man but he is a yesman. Pop constantly surrounded himself with these types ever since Udoka left.
Without doubt he is the in the getting over himself doghouse ,if healthy there really isnt any other rational explanation why he would get only 13 minutes. I honestly hope this won't effect his rotation run because Castle will remember that and it will always be in the back of his mind when he starts considering his options for his career

"The front office needs to step up. They are responsible for hiring and firing the coaches, as well as drafting the players. They should demand that the coach in charge of player decisions ensures the fourth overall pick gets significant playing time."
Pop needs to retire - voluntarily or not - and they need a new coach who is not Mitch Johnson.
Pop can chime in between games all he wants, at the end of the day it's Mitch the one that's doing the subs during games. I really doubt Pop told Mitch to play Castle only 13 minutes yesterday.
Castle’s minutes will depend on the probability to win the game. They’ll decrease when they can win the game. It is hard tank now and show casing our players for potential trades
There’s a better way to do that: have Fox get his surgery to be ready for next season, and get Castle more playing time. Also helps Castle’s rookie of the year campaign.
12 minutes is fine
it is going to be both. The Spurs will soon say that Fox reinjured his finger and needs surgery.
Remember the DJM quote about the Spurs playing mind games when he was a rookie? They rang kind of absurd with Dejounte said them, considering he was behind TP and didn't know how to play basketball at the time...
But with Castle I'm reminded of those quotes.
I think they'll at least get Fox a true home game, and then he'll elect for the surgery. Fox's post game comments about it yesterday convinced me
playing 40y olds on a b2b should be illegal in the first place tbh
What did he say? I didn't watch any of the interviews.
Do you think the Spurs are intentionally not playing Stephon more because he gives them a better chance to win? I guess it could be right as the Spurs were up in the 2nd quarter when Steph played and got down big the first 8 minutes of the third before he came back out there.
I don't know, I just can't think of what the Spurs are trying to do. I mean French Fred has an interesting theory, but if that is what they're doing, why put Fox through the stress off having to carry the team.
Yes, I expect they want Fox to get some home games and then go full tank shutting him down.
how is this news for you? Remember when Tony was out for a whole season and we didn't have a PG? We sent Derrick White to the G-League that year when he easily could've played. But no, they gotta be humbled by grandpa first so they listen to his outdated ideas that worked in the 2000s.
They want to see Fox play some before they shut him down. They need to gauge the overall team fit with Fox moving into next year.
I have no clue why the Spurs aren't playing Castle more. The theory that they're afraid he improves the chances of winning doesn't add up to me. He's still a rookie who makes rookie mistakes, especially on the defensive end. It's not like he's prime Lebron out there who is going to suddenly carry this team to wins.
Good reason to hire Hurley. He leaned on Casrle at uconn
Yeah, the idea that Castle would ruin the tank is pretty ridiculous - I really hope that isn't the Spurs' line of thinking.
In general, I don't really care about one game, but if anything, Castle needs to play more rather than less after the Wemby news.
Sure fits his ing MO.
i dno pop had no problem giving branham unearned minutes
Yeah Pop gives minutes to players and makes good players sit. That's his MO.
here's the reason why he's getting less minutes. Dude needs to be humbled.
I wouldn’t bet that Pop doesn’t have a chip embedded in Mitch’s skull and is giving real time instructions. I may have seen Mitch tapping on his temple, like trying to get a better signal. Lol. Maybe one of you techies can intercept the signal?
