Never took Castle for a superstitious nut job tbh :st-lol:
That stuff is nowhere near nut job level. I bet nearly every player has minor superstitions like that. Castle made it sound like he doesn't do the inside out sock thing anymore either.

How do they not incorporate Spur into the title though? SuSpurstitions sounds awkward I guess, but at least make the U into a spur in the graphic.
 
Spurs have to come in to this game with the appropriate energy and respect for the opponent, as long as that happens this game will be decided by halftime. Saying that I think the Blazers will come in swinging and desperate but I suspect it will not be enough. On the Spurs side I expect for everyone to play well, a total team effort! Go Spurs Go!
 
Elimination games are always tough. Hope they come out with the appropriate intensity and don’t get cute in front of the hometown fans
 
Superstitions are a mental illness.
Sean said during a broadcast of one of the games guys had all kinds of superstitions when he was playing. I think he said from eating the same thing to doing whatever previously worked (can't remember what he said they used to do). I don't know if current players care about it too much, but I'd say a lot of them have habits or routine they follow.

Is Castle's alleged hand injury a non-issue now (don't see much discussion of it here)?
Mitch made a comment that "everybody is kinda banged up but playing through it", so I assume that goes for Steph's hand along with Dylan's hand, Kornet's knee, Wemby's brain, etc...

"Hey Deni - It's too bad they don't have a telethon for fuckface-itis, huh? They find a cure yet?"

Need to focus on getting that rest. Looks like Denver/Minny could easily go 7, so if the guys want some days off to rest their injuries, they better come out and play like it.
