He's obviously saving his legs for the dunk contest
16 pts, 7-9 shooting, 2-3 from 3. 19 minutes.
Meanwhile CP3 and Vassell stinking up the joint with 6 and 7 pts respectively at 30+ minutes each.
It's evident that Castle has turned a corner these last couple of weeks. He's starting to show flashes of all-star potential, yet our own coach handicaps his development in favour of a 40 year old that won't be here next season and a 5 season player that is starting to look like a role player at best.
One could understand this minutes distribution on a night where Castle isn't hitting and the other guys are doing well. But to have this on a game where the complete opposite is happening is inexcusable.
Mitch, get your together because you are squandering your showcase to be the coach of the future and we don't want you to squander Castle's rookie season too.

Mitch is just happy to keep this job tbh
Mitch can't get his together because he's a placeholder with no authority.
CP0 needs to be the bigger man, state the obvious and offer to come off the bench.
Current starting lineup is just killing us, both CP0 and Vassell are massive negatives.
Well, if he wants to do that, he better play Castle more.
You know Pop is calling him everyday telling him to keep starting CP3
Except that they obviously have a handshake agreement with CP3. Unfortunate.
Yea starting to think Mitch has no say in anything. Dude looks like a chained puppy dong on the sideline and feels like he's just trying his best not to piss PATFO off at this point cause his rotations are and he keeps benching our best players for guys like Keldon. We need a real HC. Mitch and Pop aren't the answer anymore. Need to bring in a legitimate, young Coach who understands ball and can be here for the long haul. Shouldn't be hard to convince someone to come and coach Wemby and Fox. I wonder if we could rip off ATL again and trade Keldon + a plethora of SRP's for Quin Snyder tbh.
Castle is gonna be great at least. Hopefully the old man and Mitch won't be anywhere near the bench next season.
If Castle gets let off his leash the Spurs might push .500, which could push them out of the lottery and take away one of their tickets for a Cooper Flagg or Ace Bailey. They can’t count on that Atlanta pick because Atlanta is hovering around the play-in. They have to play Vassell and Johnson, and start CP3 to stay down around 30 wins.
Mitch's lineups make me think of this video
Fox/Castle/Vassell/Barnes/Wemby is the square peg in the square hole... Mitch's lineups are all the other pegs.
Thanks for starting this thread. I was just about to come here and post asking what the F is going on. Why is Castle the 3rd guy off the bench with 4 minutes left in the first and 3rd quarters. Why is he not playing much? Why was he not there in crunch time. Luckily the Spurs won, otherwise I would have been about 10 times angrier.
All this limitation and yet he still has 16 on 7/9they're trying so hard to stunt this kid
Thought Castle is injured
otherwise i would Say he shud play 40 mins a nite. I agree
Spurs are going to lose the only players worth a darn on the team with stupid like this. Why would he hang around if they're going to do like this to him?All this limitation and yet he still has 16 on 7/9
Because next year Chris Paul will be gone and the starting backcourt will be Fox/Castle.
How do you know for sure CP3 will be gone. What is he stays another year? Are they still going to yank Castle around? This organization better wake up. I am starting to see why Kawhi left (he'd always get his numbers leveled off by being benched). What the Spurs do half the time, doesn't make sense.
Hopefully next year, things are straighter. But I doubt. Even if Castle is starting next year, it doesn't matter if Keldon and Vassell plays meaningful minutes.
Travesty tbh. I like to believe that Rookie Steph has more maturity than Rookie Wemby and yet he has to get ed by whatever off-court hoopla the FO got themselves into.
Because Paul only has a one-year contract, and with Fox on the team they don’t need him past this year.

The soft, subtle tank is on
Yihhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaa lol
Hahaha, but all the NBA can see it so.................
This offseason is where the gets real. The Spurs have two stars in place and a potential third star. This summer will be the time to acquire two starting-caliber forwards, whether through the draft or through dealing their draft assets. The players they acquire need to be defense-oriented without being liabilities on offense like Sochan.
I don’t know if there are any teams stupid enough to think Johnson is an asset. There might be teams stupid enough to trade for Vassell.
I get that they won’t bench CP3, if that was the agreement then they can’t spurn a legend at the end of his career… just not how the Spurs operate. It’s frustrating, but I absolutely understand it.
…. but I think Castle has already earned a spot over Vassell too. Them sticking with Vassell and especially KJ makes me think PATFO are letting those two have the rest of the year to either prove their value for a bench role or an offseason trade. It doesn’t make sense otherwise because Castle looks extremely promising.
This is the logical expectation. But this team has too many holes to fix. The #1 problem is the coaching. Mitch is just Pop's puppet, nothing is actually going to change when Pop comes back. We need the old man to retire and just enjoy the legacy he has built.
Yes, this is true. It should be straightforward for the ownership to tell Pop that his health comes first, and that while he can come back for a few games in April to go out on his own terms, it is in fact time to go out. But I don’t know that Squirt or his sister have the cojones to do that. They seem cowed.
