UConn in the NBA Jan '25

Steph did great work in the first half and then pretty much nothing in the second. Was
Puzzling to watch.

Also. San Antonio’s second team could the worst ever. They were clueless out there

That's on the coach, he took Castle out when the game was in the balance and then put him back in when it was a blowout.

Was their best player and played 25 mins, it was mind boggling.

That game went from tied with 3 minutes left in the 3rd to a 30 point blowout in the blink of an eye. That was crazy.

Good first shift for Castle today. Five points, 2-3 shooting including a 3. Also he’s face guarding Herro all over the court and has him 0-2 with a contested three and an air ball on a contested runner.

Kinda faded after the good start. He has so much room for improvement (of course he just turned 20, so to be expected). Every time I watch he leaves 6-8 points on the table by not finishing open five footers and being weak around the rim. He’s an enigma that way - he can show great strength on some drives and then be really weak on others and not even get the ball on the rim. A couple years of weight training and he’ll be more apt to finish well.

Spurs completely fell apart again. Up 15 and now down 25. They are kind of mentally weak and have a lot of bad shot takers.

Funny game for Steph. 12/4/1 on efficient %s but also 4 TOs.

A little unlucky on two of them. Wemby had both hands on a ball and was stripped by a double team from Duncan Robinson - but Wemby never really got full possession so Castle getting the to is fair … but stronger hands from Wemby would have prevented it. Then he threw an alley to a back up big (Bassey) who really should have caught it.

One in the third was another alley attempt where he should have taken the open 5 footer - but a defender guessed pass and deflected it. He had missed that little floater a couple of times - so it was a good guess. Live I actually thought he shot the ball (a little push shot) and thought it was a clear goaltend - but played it back and he put it just wide of the rim as a pass and the defender “blocked” it.

Later in his career the defenders might need to respect his shot a little more.

I never noticed how enormous Adam Silver's ears are. He looks like he's about to take flight.

Give it a few years. They claim that ears never stop growing
