Pretty generic stuff, praises Melo and continues, "Obviously he's playing with a chip on his shoulders--something to prove. Should've been an all-star."

Castle getting superstar calls feels like the refs reading my mind.

In all seriousness, how about that Nick Smith Jr.?

Nailing his NBA audition. Others acing. Some still flunking/flopping.

And I can't wrap my head around any take that suggests we are starting from scratch.

If this is the real LaMelo and he's truly a top-5 scorer, I think we're a little past square one.

I was gonna joke that if LP slipped you a fiver you'd probably be able to find it for him, but thought KJ might be too obscure. Impressive.

The game continues to slow down for Nick and will do so even more next season. He is going to be a big time weapon off the bench.

For someone that struggles to dribble or catch a basketball Moose has a really good basketball IQ

Diabetes posterized Wemby!!!

Our offense really hums when both Melo and NSJ are in a rhythm.

Moussa should start. Go get all the rebounds, pass to hot shooters, do sick dunks, be disruptive on defense. What more do you want surrounded by shooters. Nurkic just has to be a passable backup.

Spurs announcers are terrible

Boring, forgettable, monotone


unrelated but what does Melo have to do to get the same whistle Castle or even Sochan get?

Complete breakdown on that last play, but otherwise they've been making the Spurs earn it.

Kemba screamed and bitched a lot but he never got a whistle either.
