Castle was incredible tonight

[ctbro1999]

It was right out of a 1989 Piston game.



LeDee was very late getting there. Steph already had the ball secured and was coming down when LeDee got there (he had enough time to let up or even avoid contact). Fortunately SC was well on his way back down or the arm to the face would have been an elbow.

In addition to the fall, I think Castle took a shot to the face from Ledee on the initial body slam too. But he's tough as nails. Luckily I don't think he actually hit his head on the floor (or if he did, it was just a glancing blow).

Van Gundy could not stop talking about how much he loved Castle. I feel like Steph is solidifying himself near the top of the draft and having a former NBA coach talking you up can't hurt. That touch pass to Clingan was beautiful, and the defense is so solid.

And Van Gundy referenced a few times the tape he's watched and how impressed he was of Castle in film sessions.

That dunk tonight was wicked. His defense was awesome as usual.

That dunk has a minimum of a 20-year shelf life on UConn higight reels.
