Great pic tbh. The vibes were high last night.

Portland defended well. They pressed our guards and made them work every possession. That and some playoff jitters definitely affected Castle and everyone else for that matter. Harper saw a lot of double teams, which threw him off some. Great experience for all of them last night. They will figure it out.

Pop looks good there tbh. Good to see him chopping it up at the game yesterday and having a good time.

Didn't shoot it well at all tonight (4/13) and we'll def need him to be better moving forward, but Steph still competed hard and still impacted the game in other ways.

He's having to defend a top 3 foul merchant in the league I wouldn't expect Castle to be great offensively in this series. That's asking a bit much.

Yeah, I think it's a bit much to expect Castle to be the main POA defender on someone like Deni while also putting up an efficient 20 and 8 on offense I think he was perfectly fine last night for his first playoff game. The 4/13 wasn't super pretty, but it felt like there were at least a couple misses that really should've been called fouls and sent him to the FT line. He also did a decent enough job at taking care of the ball.

You catch Wemby landing on Deni early in the game?
Should have been a foul on Wemby imo.

Glad Deni was not injured. Play had the potential.
