Best player on the floor today. And that’s saying something when you got Wemby as your teammate.
Wemby was trolling all game
He hates playing the early weekend games
I was worried when I went to Spurs/Hornets couple weeks ago on Satueday at 3pm, but Wemby dropped 32/12/8 and 6 stocks on them 😤
Funnily enough he was extra motivated to play well in that game because the previous game against them was another early afternoon game where he played poorly.
Just like my goat Timothy 😭
He don’t want MVP bad enough
Hard to feel motivated to fuck up a team that’s already near rock bottom.
We took an almost instant 10 point lead and the rest of the game was just fucking around.
Wemby also shot 7⁄21 from the field 😭
Wemby needs to stop shooting all those jumpers
Everyone spur was damn efficient tonight (besides Wemby)
7:12 - 4th Stephon Castle enters the game for Harrison Barnes
6:48 - 4th Stephon Castle defensive rebound
6:37 - 4th Luke Kornet enters the game for Stephon Castle
Makes me happy that coach Mitch is willing to do that for the players lol
Helps when you’re up 31 lol
Continuing to shoot 40% from 3 for like 2 months now? Dude is special
And Harper is doing similar things. Continue that and they might get into the Finals.
Yo if Castle & Harper could shoot 40% from 3 through the playoffs, that’s championship. And a nightmare for the league.
I forget who but someone claimed Harper/Castle started taking less 3s off the dribble since their %s have gone up. I wonder if thats the big change
100% shot selection, 0% form skill chamges.
Fwiw, both their shots look okay, but yeah, it’s amazing what NBA players can do with just shot selection
Have bad shot selection early in the season so teams think you can’t shoot and leave you open late in the season. Game within the game
Or you’re not that great of a shooter, and was trying things early on, but coaches are on you and your team is in the playoffs positioning hunt so you trim down on whatever isn’t necessary and nerds think you’re a sharpshooter all of a sudden because you only take wide open practice shots
lets not talk about that wemby performance
tbf like 6 of his missed shots were putback attempts that he either scored or got fouled on straight after getting the rebound
Exactly, not like he was out there just bricking open jumpers all game. Most of his misses were when he got hacked at the rim.
This was a team win, and Wemby knew when to dish out appropriately.
Something about afternoon games
Something about bad sleep😴
Castle is such a fucking monster, fearless in driving, but has been developing very well at reading the floor and knowing how to dish and pick apart defenses.
He was one rebound shy when Mitch Johnson hauled him out. Luckily, he was put back in to hunt for the rebound. Happened quickly too.
Castle is special . The leap castle has had this year is amazing .
Spurs been blowing out these lower level teams like OKC used to earlier in the year
He’s become one of my favorite players in the league. Only getting better
When a team has a second teamate who starts to score triple doubles..
He is so fucking good. It’s such a travesty that he wasn’t an All-Star this year.
Absolute dog
All NBA
He’s going to find his way into top 10 convos in a couple years
Best player on the Spurs. And this is no disrespect to Wembanyama. Castle is the engine that makes the whole thing go.
