Castle was so right to make sure teams only considered him a PG lol

Honestly should have had more, he had a few drives where he was fouled with no call. He doesn't sell fouls well enough, I guess.

Coming from the guy who thinks there might be a backstory (of what, some kind of bad blood?) to why someone says they are from their hometown.

More a backstory as to why you'd intro yourself as from something other than UConn when 90% of players would say their college. One already offered - idolized guys like Lebron who don't have a college to state - another that he was only here for a year.

But, yeah, often times there IS a backstory. Especially in the NFL when they do the video intros. Very few say anything but their college and when they don't, there is typically a reason why that isn't one of the two above. Especially since there are no NFL players that didn't go to college, for the most part.

On 20/43 from the field, 7/22 from 3, and 36/43 from the line. Sometimes the NBA is just dumb.

And fouling the other team intentionally so he can keep trying to score is pretty lame.

So right to improve his 3 point shot too, right?

There’s not always a back story, sometimes guys like to be unique and rep their tiny hometown. Some guys say their elementary school. It’s not that deep.

If I went to some big university and I had a small town that doesn’t get much national pub, I might rep them in the intro. It’s just not that unique or necessarily an issue.

T.O. Was one of the initial guys saying different than his college, he once said “Terrell Owens, another planet.”

Great game by Clingan tonight 21 points, 15 rebounds, 6 blocks, 3 steals, 2 assists. He has been a monster since the PGs have started to come back.

Cam had a good game also with 19/2/5

Its almost like without point guards he couldn't focus on his game in the paint because no one could get him the ball.

NBA Prime does their version of TNTs where did he play but college version. And John Wall is actually very good at this game.
