February UConn in the Pros

[superjohn]

Trae when healthy is a very good Pg, and they have the athletic wing defenders to cover some of his flaws on that side of the ball. AD unfortunately may never be healthy, but that PnR with he and Trae, and Sarr as well, will be lethal. I think they will be good next season.

The problem is can AD ever play 50 games in a season again? He's made of glass which typically gets worse as you age and he'll be 34 this time next season.

Some of these multi-category stat facts can be misleading because they’re kind of arbitrary, but it’s a pretty good glimpse at the different ways DC can impact a game.

good matchup tonight between the Spurs and Pistons on Peacock, I'd imagine Castle is drawing the Cade matchup

slow night in NBA, but this is marquee. I'm going to enjoy this and the KU-Houston game.

Today is Donovan's 22nd birthday.

Still a baby. Looks like a grown man.

Spurs vs Pistons super physical

 

[CardiacAndre7]

Steph playing great D but has to go up stronger on drives, especially in this game

 

[Mr. French]

Cade just tossed Steph to the ground for his 3rd foul

I like Hummel and Rivers on these broadcasts

Rivers is great

 

[CardiacAndre7]

Wemby playing really weak

Wemby playing really weak

just came to post the same thing, this is what Wemby is gonna see in the playoffs. he's getting tossed all over the place like a wet noodle

 

[superjohn]

It feels like the Pistons are playing out of their minds and Wemby and Castle are a combined 4-16 shooting yet the Spurs are up 2 at half.

 

[Gurleyman]

Cam also starting today (5 points on 2-4 shooting in first quarter). His shot hasn’t really been there lately, but he has 25 assists and no turnovers in his last three-plus games.

 

[CardiacAndre7]

Castle’s D is so impressive, he’s really frustrating Cade thus far

 

[aceboon]

great sequence by Castle, blocked Cunningham on one end and then an and1 on the other

 

[CardiacAndre7]

They can’t rebound with Wemby off the floor though. Kornet is already earthbound, but he is hurt too.

 

[aceboon]

watching St Johns in 2024 I never would have though Daniss Jenkins would have a solidified role in the NBA, let alone on the team with the best record in the league. kinda wild that Pitino had an NBA backcourt at Iona, they probably had the 3rd most talent out of the teams UConn played in the 2023 tourney run.

 

[superjohn]

Spurs are ridiculously good. I really think the dynasty starts this year.

 

[CardiacAndre7]

A lot of times Wemby and others really leave Castle out to dry on these elbow feeds. Wemby begs for the ball then doesn’t box out the defender and Castle gets the turnover

If they didn’t play the national champs in the first round they probably make a run that year.

I have always liked Daniss Jenkins game from his time at Iona to St.John's. He has a nice mid range pull up off the dribble.

 

[superjohn]

Castle to Wemby is an all-time cheat code.

 

[REB1094]

Castle had a few rough fourth quarter turnovers but also had two nice dishes for Wemby dunks to pull away. Also helped break a late press and found Champagnie for the official dagger. The Spurs go on the road and beat the best team in the East!

Finished with a double double, 16 points and 11 assists
