How long do you want to ignore this user?

I think spurs fans would trade all of that for career highs in blocks, rebounds and defensive rating
He has a career high in DBPM and is at his best DRTG in a long time. His defense FG% is slightly better than the opponent's season averages.AA said:

His net rating is somehow an astonishing +15/100 possessions.

Spurs have a winning record at this point of the season for the first time since 2020-21.

Watch Stephon Castle this entire possession. He has the size, hands and quick feet to be an elite guard defender, but this type of discipline to stick with a manipulator like Steph Curry is beyond his years.pic.twitter.com/rjbqQuvsNR

Some might call it beautiful.
Yea this clip stirs up some great memories.
So the Spurs are becoming a 2nd half team.
Sean has the night off in Utah Tuesday so Danny Green will be calling the game with Jacob.
Nope I’m good! Sean is off Tuesday vs Jazz in SLC. Danny Green will be doing the game with me 👀 https://t.co/Y1lkv1sccw

“Steph, he’s a winner,” said Barnes of Castle. “He’s a champion.”
— Paul Garcia (@PaulGarciaNBA) November 24, 2024
“I have a blind trust in him,” said Wemby of Castle making plays in crunch time. “He’s playing like he’s much more experienced than he is.”https://t.co/odia2mLuuK
Per https://t.co/JfHQUoNsxg, the Spurs' Net Rating in 87 minutes for the starting five of CP3-Castle-Champagnie-Barnes-Wemby is a +30 pp/100.
— Paul Garcia (@PaulGarciaNBA) November 24, 2024
131.1 pp/100 offense and 101.1 pp/100 defensehttps://t.co/odia2mLuuK
Spurs finished the game on a 40-13 run over the final 13 minutes. Trailed 81-64 with a minute left in the 3rd, won 104-94.

The Athletic's things each team needs to work on. Side note Grant Williams from Charlotte had a season-ending injury.
San Antonio Spurs
Lack of ball penetration: Nearly half of Victor Wembanyama's shots are coming from the perimeter, up from just 30 percent as a rookie. The Spurs hoist the ninth-most 3s in the league, but to improve on their 20th-ranked offense, they'll need to diversify their approach. Some of it is circumstantial: Rookie Stephon Castle, a physical downhill threat, is still learning; Tre Jones and Devin Vassell, San Antonio's most frequent drivers last season, have only recently returned from injury; and Jeremy Sochan, who was fourth, has been sidelined since early November. Maybe reserve Keldon Johnson, who leads the way with 6.6 drives per game, gets more minutes, but it starts and ends with Wembanyama. The Frenchman needs to set the tone. Kelly Iko
Atlanta Hawks
Trae Young: You can nitpick about Atlanta's defense or the shooting on the wings or the backup point guard situation, but none of that matters if Young isn't playing at an All-Star level. And while he's leading the league in assists, he's also struggled mightily to score, shooting just 38 percent on the season and failing to get off a shot in two last-shot situations that both ended in Hawks losses. While Young historically has been a slow starter, his Achilles tendinitis to begin the season adds to the concern level this time around. John Hollinger
Charlotte Hornets
When will Mark Williams play again?: The Hornets are reaching an anniversary they don't want: Dec. 8 will mark a year since Williams last played in a game. The 15th pick in the 2022 draft has played in just 62 games in his career. He missed most of last season with a back injury. This year, it's been a left foot issue. Williams has been productive when he has played and could be a key piece for Charlotte in its rebuild, but the Hornets need to see him back on the floor to know that. Mike Vorkunov
Chicago Bulls
Team defense: After trading Alex Caruso this offseason, the Bulls knew their defense would suffer, but Chicago is on the cusp of ranking among the bottom-three teams in defense. Without a single elite defender, and absent appropriate size, Chicago knows its fortunes will be difficult to change. The Bulls are attempting to overcome their defensive limitations by playing faster and launching more 3-pointers. But they've compounded their issues with turnovers and cold shooting nights. Darnell Mayberry

Some quotes from Steph and Paul.Quote:
"I'm feeling good, just leaning on my coaches and teammates," Castle said. "They're always putting me in good positions to be successful. They make the game super simple for me, so just going out there and focusing on our philosophy, just trusting in that. That's been helpful."
"I try to stay as even keel as possible," Castle said. "My dad always preached about having short-term memory. Not hanging my head on a bad play, knowing I can make up for it on the next possessions. Just always looking ahead in the game."
"Steph probably gets tired of me talking to him all day long," Paul said, "you know what I mean? But I hope he doesn't because I'm envious of him because of his ability and I think his maturity, right? He just turned 20, but he seems like a 30-year-old man. He's just really good on both ends of the court. He's determined, he's a competitor and all game long, when you see me talking to him I'm probably telling him to shoot the ball, be aggressive or whatnot.
This is the worst Steph Castle will ever be.
I also wake up with morning wood regularly.
Woke up thinking about this Stephon Castle sequence

Just as predicted, Harrison Barnes becomes the first spur to be player of the week this year
Mavs took care of giving the Hawks another L even though Luka is out.
Risacher 2-8/1-3 in 17 minutes.
Trae 5-12 for 18 and 16 and -1.
Hawks are 7-11 and tied for 5th worse in the East. Charlotte one spot below and Bulls one spot above.
Next up for the Hawks: back to back games against Cleveland.

Vecenie mentioned in his most recent podcast he has Castle as second for ROY.
Here is a good breakdown he did of Castle and Vic from the GSW game.

Sorry, we're going for a playoff spot now. We've outsourced the tanking to Atlanta.

I don't know if I have ever seen the East this bad before.
The teams in the West keep getting better and the East gets worse.

Which means LaMelo+Alabama Josh Jackson may be enough to make the playoffs

Most old head play all year
The Champagnie contract might turn into one of the all time greatest spurs contracts.
Blake Wesley +34 off the bench. Minimal Collins. No Malaki. Area 51. It was a good night.
