    I’m not going to fault Dylan on that drive. I’ve seen him finish those plenty of times. and I wouldn’t deter him from trying. That’s his game, he likes to attack the ring

    We got ourselves the future best PG in the league so no regrets there

    I’m excited for CB. He’s an athletic freak and really have a good chance to show it off out there

    I hope it’s just a sprain with that contact injury

    Analysis GRADES: 1/28/2026 Spurs 111 @ Rockets 99

    I haven’t seen so many 5’s in the short history of Baseline Bums :st-lol: I agree with the grades! I’ve mentioned many times in the ST that having a defensive catalyst is the X-Factor of Spurs championship teams, from Ninja Sean, to Bruce, Kawhi and Danny. Last night I saw in Castle that...

    4 guards and Wemby. Gandalf and the Hobbits??

    Wemby is a warrior from the 90’s. He might not have the body yet, but he embraces the physicality, doesn’t complain and Bruno the officials (I’m really glad he’s not). He gets up after getting mugged and shoots his FT’s. He needs physical help (not Barnes) at PF to take some of the beating...

    Giannis Antetokounmpo Trade Watch

    To be honest I’d put Vassell with Sochan plus picks to get the right player, maybe TM3, Markkanen or JJJ. But I doubt they go for Giannis.

    Trade Spurs Trade Ideas

    My shopping list is a big body C as insurance in the playoffs. Kornet getting hurt really exposed this. I like Castle and Keldon’s work on KD and Sengun last night, reminiscent of Bowen and how Pop would put Manu/Green. But that was a superior playoff tested Spurs team. If the Spurs would...

    Castle slowing down Sengun says a lot tbh

    Agree. Wemby is his own man, and I like him for that. He’s not easily influenced by the media or celebrity, very much like Timmy. Really a good head (bald) over his shoulder

    Player The restricted-age video store section of Dylan Harper

    Maybe because Harper can read plays as well as Manu, very high IQ. Both big guys who can initiate and create for others, while able to attack the rim at will, fearless and can bully his defender. But PG-Wise, Harper is potentially in the same conversation with the greatest- CP3, Kidd, Magic...

    Agree in all, but you forgot Keldon. Keldon also took the challenge of meeting Sengun and bodying him up, alternating with Castle. Keldon has truly been a wonderful change in the way he embraced the 6th-Man, really productive especially when Spurs needed a basket. Now he’s so poised and...

    Man that stare down on KD was awesome. Also had his moments with KD on both sides of the court. Our young are not star-struck :st-lol:

    Harper should be handling PG duties in crucial possessions imo. I love Castle, but I think Castle is more an off-ball, SG who can attack the rim but not necessarily has to create for others. Castle has TO’s tendencies with his decisions, compared to Harper who knows better to orchestrate...
