They were better than us. We’ve also lost some of Castle’s better high minutes games to the point where I think it maybe unrelated to his PT.
Ugly, stupid stuff. We're not playing for Wemby anymore.
We're not developing the Vassell's, or keldon's anymore.
A Play-In does what?
I get developing culture, but you do it with playing the guy your team should be developing.
No matter what now.
You see how Castle plays with others, you see how he plays period.
Defending the coaching right now is...
Mmmmm.
That has nothing to do with the fact that Castle needs more playing time. No matter the context, 13 minutes is unacceptable.
I guess should count ourselves lucky that he isn't getting DNPs
Will anyone in the SA media ask why Stephon isn't getting many minutes?
Castle's scoring this season.
Mitch the is sabotaging his career at this point. He won‘t win it playing 12 minutes per game.
ESPN-funded diversity project.
ROY is more than an honor. It's been a much better indicator of a good career than being the #1 draft pick. In the first 50 years of the award, I think 30 ROY's have made the HOF. (And most of the ones after that aren't eligible for the HOF yet.) Most of the ROY winners who didn't make the HOF still wound up being household names with good, long careers. Winning the ROY all but guarantees that a player will get a larger salary bump when his rookie deal is up. (Or a max extension after year 3.) Barring injury or Josh Primo level stupidity, winning that award is money in the bank. It's even a plus at the end of a player's career when it comes to HOF consideration. And you can't get a second chance to win it. (Yeah, yeah, Holmgren got a chance because his injury came so early in his first "rookie" season.)
Castle was a lock for ROY if he kept starting and performed anything like he had been. He won the Rising Stars MVP award. How could he not feel like he's had the rug pulled out from under him? He has. He earned that spot in the starting lineup, and now with Wemby out, and the chance of even making the play-in being slim to none? Developing young players is a total no-brainer priority. Come up with a rotation that has Castle starting. If he plays so well that the Spurs win some games and don't improve their lottery pick, you live with that because of what it means for next season. People here love to talk about how good the Spurs are to their players. Taking the ROY away from Castle with nothing to possibly gain isn't that. But, hey, maybe not winning ROY will help him get over himself.
Then again, maybe the Spurs are competing with the Mavs for who gets to move to Vegas.
We can still play Castle a lot right? and tank
so whats the p[roblem
I didn't want to keep commenting on this as I got so angry last week or the week before, but the Spurs are going to lose all their good players if they keep doing this kind of stuff.
What exactly are they trying to do? Get Vassell going? Get Keldon going? What exactly are they trying to do? They're a lottery team. Mitch is acting like they're a playoff team fighting for seeding, so he yanks the rookie for mistakes like they're playing for seeding and wins.
They're not, so you should be playing your most promising players to get them experience. It could still be to do with Chris Paul. It could be the promise that keeps giving. Maybe he signed because a. he'd start and b. was told we're going to make a playoff push, so maybe Mitch is outright trying to win games.
Then again, maybe Mitch is trying to win games because he wants that for himself and his career. I can't fault the guy for that as he's probably trying/fighting to keep the job.

tbh at this stage I don't care anymore on Castle's min
As long as Spurs keep losing and increase the odds to get Flagg
We can do it while building the future. Not by giving Cp3 so much pttbh at this stage I don't care anymore on Castle's min

Let Castle make mistakes ffs. He gets the vet treatment when he's the future of the Franchise smh
He needs to focus on defending and play making. His penetration is already good enough, his finishing around the rim very solid, and the shooting form is perfectly acceptable. His D has been uneven to flat out bad, mostly he's been struggling to block anybody he's guarding, we have not seen any charges taken either. Very good at running around the screen, and seems to be able to read offenses well, which is promising. Play making, meaning actually setting the play, moving in the right spots and playing the pick and roll has been practically nonexistent so far, instead he has mostly shown us a kirby bryant style of playing, which is of course very bad.
If they’re really going to tank, they need to shut down Fox, and do his hand surgery.tbh at this stage I don't care anymore on Castle's min

I think the writing is on the wall. They cannot keep losing and Fox looking he made a mistake coming here. I just don’t know what tanking means to CP3 who obviously came here to play. It’s his best interest really if they embrace the tank, get Castle going, get high draft picks and get Wemby back on his 3rd year. Resign CP3 with 2-years extension. He’ll get his chance on a ring with Spurs if things go well.
I don't disagree with anything you said, but there's guys on the team that were playing worse than him that have been given longer leashes. Sure, Castle isn't playing well right now, but there are guys that were playing worse than him most of the season still getting minutes.
I mean, that sounds good, but I think CP3 thinks he's similar to Lebron and should be starting no matter what. I don't have any other way to explain it, but it seems that he feels he should start no matter what age he is. Like another poster mentioned earlier in the season, he'd have to have a huge ego and be ultra compe ive to have become the player he is and doesn't seem to want to let go. This is when I coach has to make a hard decision, but it looks like Mitch doesn't have the guts to do it (the other issue is, CP probably thinks he knows better than Mitch anyway).
Hate to go tinfoil hat but there almost have to be behavioral issues or an injury they're not disclosing. Rookie wall doesn't make sense with his minutes declining the moment his jumper is fixed. There's no way the staff is this dumb either. Something is going on behind the scenes that we don't know about.
It's like he flipped off a ref on national tv or something.
Going from the ASG to this is a serious mind for a 20 yr old. Perhaps something went down at ude-wise behind the scenes that is being dealt with by taking his minutes away. If not, there are potentially big mistakes being made here. Developing players is trying to put them in situations that they can succeed. The bigger picture here is that Mitch is not the guy to take this team to the next level. But, that's a whole 'other story.
I hope Castle gets some minutes tonight. Like more than 12 mins.
The biggest reason this sucks is that Castle is THE reason to watch the team, if he shows hints at being an all-star. Granted, his last couple of outings did not look great.
Nah occam's razor, the coach is a head. Look how he benched Castle that game in Philly last month when he was 7 for 9 and shredding the Sixers. He has pulled this crap multiple times when Castle was having a strong game and it makes no mother ing sense.
For me Fox and Castle are the entire reason to keep watching. Spurs haven't had a guard as good as Fox in a decade. But I still want De'Aaron to just get his surgery over with, get it done on company time, and then be ready to hit the ground running with Victor and Co (and hopefully some more vets) next season.
