[Highlight] Harper lobs it to Stephon Castle for the dunk after an OKC turnover
That steal by Vassell to start it off was high effort and high IQ holy shit
I was worried vassell would be an odd man out this season, but God I’m so glad to be proven wrong. So many impact plays this postseason. He was built for this
He’s legitimately been the most consistent player, and low-key carrying us.
He’s been your 2nd best player behind Wemby this entire series. He has some incredible shot making, he’s been incredibly consistent on offense, and his defense and hustle have been through the roof.
Thank god for Vassel because KJ has been terrible.
KJ is Dejuan Blair 2.0
Don’t do this lol.
he’s incredibly good at pump faking a bunch of times before making a layup over a taller defender, using his off arm to guard the basketball as he goes up.
Not in the post season. That’s regular season shit.
seems to be the only shot hes made consistently in this series so far
He’s always made big plays in big games, going back to the play-in his rookie season. Love this dude.
He’s so fucking underrated dude. One of my favorite role players in the league.
Odd man out is the 6th man of the year
He’s been near perfect these playoff. Absolutely a 16 game player, impressive stuff from him. Those blocks and steals are absolute tone setters
I was also thinking the same during the season with the team having Castle, Fox, and Harper. But yeah come postseason, he’s been pretty consistent and they need that for these playoff runs.
He’s accepted his role after trying to be a first or second option. Hes been so much more useful than when he was trying to score 20+ a game.
Vassells a DOG
he came from the other side of the court!
Lowkey my favorite Spur. He was the original baby Spur.
Defended SGA extremely well then tracked the kickout.
Ethical basketball is back, baby
Basketball is healing.

Notice how this is more fun to watch.
It’s an insane concept. Let the genetic freak athletes making millions play without blowing the whistle every other possession = more interesting
Scott Foster redemption game?
That’s the thing… Scott Foster is one of… if not THE best referee today from a pure ability standpoint. It’s just that he is shady af and makes some questionable calls because of that. I saw one theory on CP3’s playoff record vs Foster (I think it was 0-15 at some point?) and that it was because Foster is good enough of a ref to not be gamed (all the flopping, ticky-tack shit that CP3/OKC is notorious for). Obviously you can argue either way but I’m not gonna get into that.
Not sure why this is downvoted; the average Foster game is noticeably more palatable than the average game officiated by pretty much any other crew.
Stephon Castle is trying to body the closest player near him in so many plays lol I’m such a big fan of this young team man. League is so fucked haha
You sure? Won’t you rather watch pretending to be shot while mauling the other side as well?
2 option for that lob. One high flyer, one is a skyscraper. Harper went to the high flyer
Gotta love your 7’4” center outrunning the defense up the floor.
Also chose the guy that was going to dunk over SGA
Mods unlock the game thread?
There’s a 2nd half game thread
Oh wth, haven’t seen that recently thanks
When threads get too big they start to crash a lot
Castle heard these OKC fans talking smack.
I want a “love me” video court-level of this sequence like they did for the Mavs 2 years ago
It’s games like this where your like holy shit maybe we do have a chance. Those last two games looked nasty for the spurs
You’re always the better team, it comes down to where the fouls fall.
And turnovers.
Okc outplayed the spurs game 3 big time even without the refrees help. Spurs are not the better team, they are slightly below okc even because of the bench strength but they have a chance always because it’s sports
These last 5 mins from castle have been insane
Vassell is a damn dawg
He stepped up the most out of all our role players. Always calm, tries to avoid mistakes on defense most of the time, hit his shots, and always ends with a smile on his face.
If only KJ has also been consistently productive like he did in that one game vs the Wolves. He’s just so frustrating to watch this whole playoffs, I wonder what’a going on in his mind the whole time.
Spurs rollin at both ends….not giving the crowd any time to settle down!
castle has top 1 aura in the league
He’s who Ant and Ja thought they could be
Having a point guard who is that strong and vertical is unfair
Castle is so fun to watch
I’m glad I get to root for Steph C in these playoffs.
Sky Fortress
Thunder fans confused about how Castle landed on two feet without falling over
Wemby’s like “👆 lob it up here for me bro” before Castle comes through to snake the lob
Castle is becoming my favorite player. That dude plays his ass off
Frost Bank going insane right now.
The basketball Gods gave the Spurs Wemby, but picking up Castle and Harper in the next two years is why they are here now.
Gonna have to start calling Stephon “IPA” cause he’s got HOPS
DAWGS
Goddamn this team is fun as hell to watch.
Good
Defense was on another level! Let’s hope they stick to the defense the rest of the series
i LOVE the San Antonio home crowd reactions, they were blowin the roof off the place last night
This team is too young to know they shouldn’t wni.
Castle is going to need to pay royalties to Dave Chappelle soon.
That Pinoy can hoop! Harper has 3 options there, either lob it to Castle or Wemby… OR POSTERIZE SGAY!! I wanna see the latter 😳😳😂
Bullshit. Castle pushed off to get that air time. Refs definitely siding with the torta city.
