@KyleLeith@JoshEberley Spurs got castle because wemby got hurt, and then they did a nasty tank job the rest of the season.
Castle was consensus top 4 I think. Ringer, ESPN, bleacher report, etc. I don’t think it was risky at all.
@KyleLeith@JoshEberley The spurs lost on purpose for the Wemby and Castle drafts. When Wemby went down in his first season, they completely threw in the towel. And they should have! They did the right thing. But it wasn’t some ultra-ethical tank job. They completely lucked into Harper to your point tho
@KyleLeith@JoshEberley If they had the 3rd worst record, and moved up to the first pick, they moved up in the lottery, even with equal odds. I understand the perspective you’re coming at it with though.
@AnthonyIrwinLA@jga41agher Do you think most fans have watched enough basketball to have a well informed enough opinion that SGA has the greatest whistle in the history of the sport? Will they know SGAs highest FTA season is 45th all time? A good chunk of people on here don’t even watch the games!
@AnthonyIrwinLA@jga41agher If a media person is good at their job, any opinion or reporting they share is telling people what they should be seeing. When you make a hot take point, I think it’s disingenuous to say you’ve “left it up to the audience” when you’re a respected basketball voice (and you are).
@sedonaroxx@krugman87 So the basis of your entire conviction is that something will happen, at some time, to make number go up, disproportionately to alternative investments like S&P 500?
Stephon Castle had 14 points on 1 made basket in game 3.
He is averaging 7 FTAs per game as the 2-3 scoring option on his team in this series. And he’s playing every bit as physical as OKC on the other end of the ball.
His whistle is fine @Scalabrine
"You know who's not taking a dive? Stephon Castle. You know who's not getting a good whistle? Stephon Castle."
Brian Scalabrine says OKC's flopping is bad for basketball and takes away from SGA's greatness 🗣️

@parkeralewis@TheOneMacLir@adam3us Wouldn’t that make Tether and USDC centralized, not the Ethereum network itself? I think it’s a great solution, but I wouldn’t call the lightning network a beacon of decentralization.
The tribalism IS weird. Large institutions are building on Ethereum. Why be weird?
@McCadeP8@MohnJateer10 The landing space of the defender isn’t protected in NBA basketball. Never once in NBA history has a foul been called on a shooter for landing in a defenders landing space.
Idk why I’m responding there’s no way you aren’t just trolling/engagement farming lmao
@HTXNeptune713@trollokie A video of 6 of his total 24 shot attempts, from game 2, not even the game in question lmao. You are trying your very best I respect it. We are all proud of you
Stephon Castle talking about OKC Thunder defense:
"I'm tryna to play through it, the way they guard how physical they are we don't get that same luxury to play physical on the other end at times"
