[Highlight] Castle locks up and blocks Cade on one end, comes down for the and-1 on the other
Castle is a great defender but half of that was Wemby making Cade too scared to immediately attempt a layup
It’s the thing about Wemby’s presence. You’re terrified to go inside because he is there
The entire team is just like…confused by it lol.
Except Daniss. He doesn’t give an f lol.
DEEETROIT BASKETBALL
reminds me of my step-dad
I like how Wemby’s gotten better at stunting toward the offensive player instead of fully committing. It makes the offensive player hesitate just enough for the primary defender to recover.
And even when he’s not there, you know that by the time you leave the ground he will just extend his arm from the 3 point line and block it anyway
Wemby with the aura assist
We need to start a stat which tracks the amount of shots Wemby deters just by being in the paint
Funnily enough somebody in our sub posts a highlight reel after each game specifically of opponents avoiding Wemby in the paint, it’s one of my favorite contributions in the sub.
Shit, it was naive to think something like it didnt already exist, thats great. I know what subreddit im checking out now.
We been doing that ever since Gobert led the Jazz to the first seed.
I remember someone did for Gobert. It was funny back then.
They’re called “Neverminds” I believe
Wemby casually smacking the backboard with his entire forearm will do that lmao
Area 51
I saw something where Wemby being on the floor caused a big difference in where players stop the drive to back out, pass or shoot compared to average
Having Wemby behind you also make perimeter D much easier, just body up and don’t worry about getting blown by.
Also a bad spin move from Cade.
Castle is unreal. Giving Cade fits all night
the shoulder check by Cade made it pretty obvious Castle was getting into his head
Should’ve been his 6th foul, he was gonna have to murder someone to foul out
He’s been all over him defensively, and that transition finish was pure hustle. What a sequence.

While shooting 5⁄18 and putting up bricks for the city
Detroit fans doing anything in their power to ignore anything negative regarding their team
They haven’t been good since before wifi existed they don’t know how to act
Cade has not made a basket since this comment was made
rebuilding Detroit
5⁄26 lmaooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
15 points on 18 shots isn’t really ‘doing fine’.
Wemby has also struggled a ton offensively but call a spade a spade.
Lmao Castle lock him down. It’s okay though
Kinda funny how you left out the 5-18, it’s okay to admit when your star player is having a little trouble, I mean wemby is as well lol
He’s 3⁄13 inside the arc lol
Brother he’s got 15 on 18 shots
That’s horrific
5⁄19 and -19
He’s doing great, keep it up
Lmao
Great players are always gonna get theirs. But if you reduce their efficiency you have done your job
Shitty shooting percentages is pretty normal for him lol
Y’all want to say he’s an MVP candidate and still say it’s okay when he shoots like hyper ass and is -14 while the team is down 10
Man, I love me some Stephon Castle.
Kid’s got that two-way energy you can’t teach. Spurs might’ve found their guy.
guy is defending cade so well, the best defense on cade recently
Castle’s length is giving Cade fits, he’s been all over him all game.
Castle is mad af
Castle is so good.
Absolute DAWG. NCAA champ for a reason
UConn legend
thats my dog
Castle is an incredible defender. I thought he will be 2nd/3rd team All-Defense. I want him in 1st team.
There are only 2 all defense teams.
Nah I made the third team last year.
He’s been shutting guys down all season, honestly. First team might be a stretch this year but he’s definitely on that trajectory.
I like Cade but he getting worked and acting the b tonight.
Castle is legit. Area 51 is a problem
Castle so good
“HAHA DYLAN I LOCKED DOWN YOUR FAVORITE PLAYER”
What’re we thinking, “locked him in the castle keep”
Castle dragged his nuts on him this play, but this clip is what makes me hate NBA refereeing. Cade smashed into him almost trying to get a frustration foul and nothing because Castle played through it. Meanwhile Luka/others will sprint at a guy, chuck a shot and will get a call.
Yeah the Lakers are so unlucky…
Mvp
Y’all really let us have this man with the fourth pick in a weak draft?
I do not mind this being the nba finals matchup
Castle played great defense, but to add to that, it’s such a luxury as a defender when you have a good center ready to help on defense, and Castle has probably the best one
