Castle 13 minutes, holy . I knew it was low but 13 minutes? Damn. Mitch is an idiot, nothing new there though

Shout out to all of us who watched this entire abomination

You guys are the real heroes. Not even watching the games anymore (pointless season now other than for development purposes) but PBP threads are how I get a grasp of the Spurs zeitgeist.

The tank Is on...I wonder if It makes sense at this point tò postpone Fix finger surgery...I Guess FO Is trying tò understand if Vassell works Better with Castle, Fox or Paul...on paper the Fox Vassell duo should be perfect on and in tempo team...and Castle or Champagnie have both the body and skills imho tò play as sf with them 2 (I prefer Champagnie for his shooting skills). Point isc that Vassell Is playing horribly this season...lets Just hope Is a tank commanding order and that a Summer of team working make him back in phisical and mental shape and earn his contract...

Vassell was by far the worst player on the court in this game. Even Mamu looked miles better than him.

PLAY STEPHON CASTLE!

I've got nothing more to add to that. If it wasn't for Victor and now Steph, I wouldn't be interested in watching these guys at all. Great that the Spurs got De'Aaron (didn't mean to slight him by not including him as I haven't watched enough of him yet), but they need to develop Steph, not around playing losers all the time. Losing players with little upside that they played a huge part in engraining that losing mentality in those said players. Don't play winning players, just keep playing those favourites with no upside. ing stupid ass organization.

Crazy to think I'm about to say this... but it's possible come the offseason that Keldon will have more trade value than Vassell.

Mitch Johnson was never expected to be the head coach for 3/4 the season, so some of y'all need to calm the down and stop calling for his head. Nobody is going to fire an interim coach after their HoF head coach suffered a stroke.

That is absolutely true. I think the fear around here (shared by me, by the way) is more that Mitch will be promoted to be the real next head coach without even seriously looking at other candidates.

Will the Spurs want to pay a real head coach?

Chris Paul for Head coach. That's one way to get Castle more minutes.

Honestly, everybody I wanted before isn't available or just doesn't seem that...good.

Coach Bud has no control over the Suns.

Brett Brown is literally on our bench right now and seems useless.

Becky would have to be convinced to leave the WNBA and come back to SA.

Udoka isn't leaving Houston. Snyder is with the Hawks. Bill Self is driving Kentucky into the ground.

Spurs have some big decisions to make coming up
