A God Builds a Castle With Barnes and a Vassell While An Alien Looks For His Ship - The Official 2024-2025 San Antonio Spurs Season Thread

When you have a kid, they learn things so fast. From birth to when they're toddlers, then 5 or 6 years old....they absorb a lot. Parents look at them with pride. Look how smart my kid is, and so on...
And I see a lot of parents make the mistake of treating their kids as if they were older. They get frustrated and angry when a kid doesn't know everything or struggles with discipline or controlling their emotions and instincts. I see this all the time.
The point I'm getting to is... I am watching these first few games of Stephon Castle's career and he's had some really good games. He's made some smart plays and had flashy layups and killer jump shots. But he's also made some boneheaded and lazy plays, especially defensively. And I'm sitting here trying to put things into context....kind of like a parent annoyed at their 4 year old kid. Castle has impressed me and frustrated me....and I forget that he's just 19 games into his career.
It's going to take more time.
Also, I don't know what the best offseason move this past summer was, but Harrison Barnes is looking like one of the better decisions in the league.

The Takeover
8-44 from 3 last night Jesus 
And Devin made 4/5 of them, it's time he's back in the starting lineup

They missed a couple of dunks and easy layups too.8-44 from 3 last night Jesus
Bad all around.
Frustrating because they did create open looks all night.
So much of their 3 point success came from Wemby having an otherworldly shooting streak. They need more consistent shooting on this team
Champ really is a Danny Green clone. He's either 6/7 from 3 or 0/10. There's not much of an in-between with him. Castle is not going to be a consistent 3 point shooter this year (but that was known). Zollins is Zollins
Wemby having an off-night hurts because the 3 for him requires the least effort. His misses were bad last night. Vassell did keep things semi-interesting in the 4th with his 3s.
Vucci Mane is just really like that
