Player The blessed howl's moving Castle of Stephon Javonte

[scott]

I can't wait for Giannis to come out this weekend and win All-Star MVP but then still be out for the Bucks with a calf strain

No wonder....the timing matched with Castle sudden usage of the short pull up jumper near the rim.

He was working on it with guard whisperer over the summer and seems to have forgotten about it lol.

Maybe KG and Hakeem should pay Wemby a visit too

I'd been saying the same thing, and I few other posters mentioned it too. Why in the f#6k can we figure it out. Why didn't anyone on the Spurs staff talk to him about why he's abandoned it and to go back to it? It seems like this training staff sucks. I'm not used to it as the Spurs had an elite training staff back when Kawhi just entered the league. Looks like Olin was seeing the same thing too and had to reminded Steph of it.

Having Cassell, Marbury, Sprewell, Joe Smith, Szczerbiak, Gugliotta, Sam Mitchell… I’d argue Timmy would ring with these guys. It’s how you make your teammates better and allows them to be at their best. Timmy never try to force shots, nor outshines his teammates. He didn’t need to take the winning shot like a KG, Kobe, MJ would. Defensively Wemby is the best already. He needs to realize that maybe the 3-guard offense is better now that he’s still not post-dominant, is all my argument going to Timmy instead of KG.

Did you even watch KG play? When Kevin McHale was the GM of Minnesota, he said KG is not like Tim Duncan or Manu Ginolibi, where you can give them the ball the last five minutes of the game and have them go out and win the game. He was basically saying KG is unselfish and doesn't take enough shots/assert himself with the game on the line. I don't remember the exact quote or what year he said it, but I had the feeling that he wanted KG to be more selfish. He was a natural passer.

Noone is saying that KG was in the same tier as Duncan, I just don't think he was a chucker.

Anyone saying (or implying) KG was a chucker didn't watch KG, dude should've been more selfish a lot of those years. I'm as big a TD fan as there is but the gap as a basketball player between the two was way closer than most of us want to admit. As a leader and a foundational building block? Tim clears KG by leaps and bounds.

Also, not personally into Wemby linking up with KG but ultimately its whatever. I will also admit if you put KG's basketball mind into Wemby's body he would probably be even more insane on defense if that can be imagined.

Exactly. You guys get it. He was not a chucker. If anything, maybe they didn't win more because he wasn't selfish enough. I agree with the rest of what you said about leadership and foundational building block. This is probably more the reason for them not winning (not so much his actually play). Pretty darn good take there, and that was the difference between the two, because game wise, he wasn't far off of Tim. Again, for anyone thinking the opposite, KG wasn't a selfish player, but also his personality wasn't the best for leading a team IMO.

Such a weird choice for BI. I thought scott was joking. I don't mind Castle finishing the season with a chip on his shoulder and more to prove.

WTF? He's in the East, though?

Any news on his injury?

 

[ulosturedge]

X-rays were negative. He said he was good when asked. Gametime decision against the Warrior. He probably got a hip pointer or bone bruise. I'm thinking he won't play tonight. If he does it was literally nothing but a scary fall.

No Curry tonight and no Butler either - no reason to play Castle at all. Get Wemby his 25 mins, blow them out, let him rest until post-ASB.

Coaching error imo.
Should not have played period. Just rest up this one game and the All Star break.
When in Warrior game, so obviously off and forcing chit should have been pulled.

I watched a pod with Rich Paul as a guest, and I couldn’t argue with his conclusion. He said Ben just didn’t care about basketball. He wanted the money and the lifestyle. Now, he’s out of the league. My guess is the next domino to fall is Deandre Ayton.

The ball that CB was practicing his dribbles at the start of the video look kinda smaller size than usual ball size

Pretty good
