UConn in the NBA: Nov 24/25

[bfs3]

I haven’t followed but Sanogo is so great and he’s still in G? Will he get a decent chance to play and stay at the next level?

I nearly bought his G league jersey. I might still pull the trigger on Black Friday. I’ll walk around Atlanta in my Windy City Bulls Jersey but was hoping to find a UConn one first.

I don't think so. It was just that Gary Trent Jr was playing (and shooting) well. Andre got in for the last defensive possession to seal the W (although they were extremely lucky because there was a complete defensive breakdown and Sengun was wide open for the win, the pass was just horrible).

I just watched that last play. Pretty much everyone on the floor except Andre and Prince (guarding the inbound) messed up. Yet Andre was the only one sprinting to the rim to try to save the game. Giannis saw it about a second later and started moving over, and the other 3 Bucks players are just standing around watching while not guarding anyone. Not a good look

Sounds like a team that has already mostly checked out on their coach. Doc's seat has to be blazing hot.

AJax got hurt? Didn't watch, he started and only played 5 minutes

He was a -8 in five minutes.

 

[Waquoit]

He was a -8 in five minutes.

So was the entire team for the first 5 minutes. AJax blew by early but missed the lay-up. That hurt his mojo.

Steph can’t buy a bucket, yeesh. Settles for 3s way too much right now.

Racking up the dimes though.

This is the thing I love most about Castle playing with CP3 and being a Spur.

He’s having a terrible game and making mistakes down the stretch and CP3 keeps going back to him and making him make a play. Like no figure it out and keep going.

 

[HuskyWarrior611]

Even funnier because the one time CP3 tries to make a play he splashes an easy 3 lol

Wildly up and down game for Steph but that block was clean asf against a MVP caliber player to seal a W

OKC plays very physical defense and goes for a ton of steals, add that Castle doesn't get calls as a rookie and you end up with a ton of TOs.

It was a good game in some respects and a bad game in others. Shot poorly and had way too many turnovers but also got 10-8 with 3 rebounds and a block and was +15 in 35 minutes in the win.

Castle led the team in minutes tonight

Again, you can see multiple times last night where Steph would give CP the ball and CP would give it to him right back in the spirit of be more aggressive and kind of saying he’s not bailing him out.

You can tell Steph was down after a few bad plays in the 4th but CP wanted him to play through it regardless. Amazing, amazing mentor for him to have.

Cam Spencer finally listed as "Questionable" tonight for the Grizz (first time this season he hasn't been "Out" with his ankle injury). Hopefully he'll get a chance to make his debut soon.

It's great that "Steph" has gone from meaning Curry to Castle.

AJ gotta stop passing out of wide open layups, you can't cut to the basket, get the pass and then be scared to go up and get a layup/dunk

Meanwhile in the real world...

 

[aceboon]

I've never seen an NBA team have injuries like the Pelicans, they could rival the UConn women with their injury list.

It's the other AJ who is lighting it up.

It's crazy Jackson still hasn't figured out how to make a layup. He's so good at some of the most difficult things to do on the court and he can't do the simplest things on the court.

That says something that Taylor Jenkins put Cam in right away off of injury.

Really does - good for Cam. Has a block, assist and 2 rebounds in a handful of minutes. Separately in the same game, McCain from Duke really having a great rookie year so far for Philly. I didn’t see that coming.
