In a game which saw Wemby and CP3 step onto the court for the first time together, it was Castle who led the team in points and hustled on both ends of the floor. We saw a couple flashes last game vs OKC (including a nasty poster) but overall didn’t contribute too much statistically. This game saw what a lot of people were expecting from him: great finishing, pesky defense and hustle, a couple threes knocked down, and overall composure and pace that’s sorely needed for a young Spurs squad still trying to learn how to play together.
Portland, Utah and I’m calling it right now but Houston. Expectations on HOU are way too premature and I think their talent is still all over the place and they still need at least 2 more years to sift guys through and settle on the 1-2 guys out of that core they’re going to build around.
I also think they could finish above the kings.
Yeah I have a weird feeling about the Kings. On paper I think they’re fine and look like a play in lock, but I get the sense that one thing going wrong could sink the whole ship. And yeah HOU will in my opinion underperform relative to the hype.
If things go bad for the Clippers ie injuries they could be ahead of us too
Honestly could see the Warriors or Clippers go below them too, depending on injuries. Last year the West was exceptionally healthy, but nothing guarantees this year will be the same.
Absolutely
if houston isn’t good by the deadline, i feel like they’d go out there and pull off a big trade with a team that is underperforming and wants to shake things up/is rebuilding
