And if not for Steph, Spurs get blown out by one of the worst teams in the league who were also short handed. Yeah, he ed up (I'll call him out, it was a stupid mistake that didn't need to happen), but Spurs get smashed without him. As 100%Duncan said in the game thread, Steph's bought the Spurs back in games this season that would have been blowout loses. He's helped give them chances is some games that they wouldn't have had. They may not have one many of those games, but that is not the point. Spurs are just not very good as he's one of our top 3 players IMO.
and some people here were worried about some dude named Connect
Castle was a tremendous pick for San Antonio. learn from tonight and continue to improve
So glad they didn't trade this guy. I really wasn't sure that they had him off-limits.
I almost would rather they didn’t come back last night. Mitch would have pulled the plug late third or early fourth, the ultimate result would have been the same, an L, but we might have had some energy left for tonight’s game against Orlando.
OK, fair point. Hopefully they have energy left tonight, but if not, I'd still rather have tried to win last night than given up. Oh well, sucks they lost.
Every experience, good or bad , aids in his development. It’s just growing pains people; I rather him make this mistake now vs in an nba finals series ( which we’ve seen numerous players do ). If nothing else, these boys are exciting to watch now!
Castle was the only good player and the only player who looked like he wanted to win for most of the game. He looks like he's getting steamed at losses.
That's funny. I was just being told in the game thread that it's ridiculous to expect players to be fired up after tough losses unless they're on a championship caliber team. Who would've thought?
Well...can't blame him. Afterall he was a NCAA champion just last year and now is on a losing team struggling to get into play-in.
Was thinking about that play a little bit and I think Castle has shown he's smart and has a high BBIQ for the big brain move there, which would have been to move to close out the passing lane as soon as Melo got past Sochan. We saw Donte D do this against us in that game where Sochan shot the attempted 3p game winner. Don't need to get to the man there, just need to close off the passing lane. Even generating a deflection or a pass that required Bridges to make a tougher catch might have been the difference.
This rook will learn that though.
Alpha Dog Castle tbh, best part of the season.
Championship pedigree
Castle TS% above 50% for first time this season!
FG%: 41
3PT: 28
FT: 73
TS: 51
THIS is what it looks like when Castle stops missing every bunny near the basket. Happy learned to putt!!!
One big thing about this guy that I think he has over everyone else on the roster, by far, except CP3 on his better days, is that for better or worse, he knows exactly what he wants to do with the ball. If Castle has it, you already know he is trying to "touch paint," as he puts it. Actually, I guess Keldon has that too, but it seems that by Castle's Year 5, he is going to be way ahead of where Keldon has seemed to max out.
The only good player on the team.
Best player on the team already tbh.
Are yall forgetting someone or nah?
should start
Mitch the johnson needs pop to pull his strings
Kid's game is mature beyond his years.
This is one grown ass man at age 20! Road announcers also like his stoic demeanor,
making him look even more bad ass.
