Player The blessed howl's moving Castle of Stephon Javonte

[Neuromancer]

The fact that this guy kept battling through even when the refs were not calling the fouls… a testament to his character. We saw last week what megastars like Luka do when fouls dont get called, they whine and dont get back on defense. Castle kept going at them and kept attacking.

It's so nice that we don't have any crybabies that give up on plays to whine to the officials instead of getting back on D. "Pure and ethical basketball" tbh

His workouts with the guard whisperer are paying off bigtime. I've seen a bunch of attacks where he closes the gap after a defender moves towards him, something you can see him work on in those videos.

He has improved his Ft percentage since the beginning games of the season. At the very start I wasn't confident in his ability to hit them at a decent percentage but he has steadily improved as the season has progressed

if it can carry into his 3-point shooting, that would be great

15/7/12 with just 2 turnovers.
5-15 FG, but was blatantly fouled on at least 3 of those and a couple more were putbacks by Kornet.

Did an admirable job on Brunson who scored on him just once by my count and got shooting FTs once.

Jrue/Jimmy ceiling prediction I had last year was true, tbh.

there were some possessions where he got fouled 3 times and still didn't get a call

Yeah, that drove me insane. I don't understand how can guys like Luka, Brunson (although not much in this game), Shai get softer calls in general, yet Steph clearly gets fouled and no calls. WTF has happened there? He was getting more calls earlier in the season, but I don't remember if the games he was getting calls were against good or big market teams. The commentators barely say anything (they did say there was a foul once, but other than that, they kept their mouths shut when he was clearly getting fouled).

I freaking love the way he played and didn't complain and bitch about it. Imagine Luka. He probably gets ejected for going off his tree if he was getting fouled like that with no calls. JJ Reddick probably gets tossed for going off on the refs if it was him coaching (Mitch has to take an ejection if this keeps happening. He can't be a nice guy to the refs about it). Steph and Dylan, both are inspiring to me with their play. The poise they play with, don't get rattled, keep playing hard. I love both these guys. He might not have scored much (should have scored 20+ with the free throws he was owed on those non calls), but man did he bring the 110% Dylan was talking about after the game that the team needed to play with to win. I just hate the inconsistency of NBA referring. It really makes it feel like a fix or favoritism is in to help a certain team out sometimes.

the only thing I have to criticize is that he gets caught ball watching. That OG backdoor cut from the corner in the first quarter and that wide open Kolek lay up in the 4th were both on Castle completely forgetting his man
