@SpursJackals I remember he declared that he would only join a team where he could be a starting PG. I think at that time Spurs had CP3 on an expiring contract and didn't had Fox yet so yes, Spurs were one of the frontrunners. He also worked out with the Spurs.
@DjMarti17252466@NBA Ah all good then 😁 as for Knicks vs Spurs honestly I don't dare to be optimistic given how Knicks have beaten Spurs in regular szn (I remember my NBA Cup disappointment). Let's hope it's a great series!
@jazzraptor@CarterChase5@NEOMeck@Gregory27928559@MikeyOver1 I went onto YouTube and found a close up angle and he did stick his hand under Castle in this frame. Looks like a secure hold, but he slips his hand back in the following frame. If he didn't, he would have prevented the fall. Your thoughts?
@jazzraptor@CarterChase5@NEOMeck@Gregory27928559@MikeyOver1 The view you're referring to is pretty blurry, so like I said it looks like he's breaking the fall because he bent down after Castle fell but he actually had 0 contact. If you were actually looking to break the fall you would look at the falling person, not the basket.
@jazzraptor@CarterChase5@NEOMeck@Gregory27928559@MikeyOver1 He did anything but try to break the fall. It only looks like he did because he bent down and looked at Castle but in reality he hands weren't even on Castle beyond this frame. He won't be looking up if he was trying to prevent a hard fall.
@CarterChase5@NEOMeck@Gregory27928559@MikeyOver1 Tbf I think it is highly debatable because Caruso pretended like he was gonna block then go for the steal. I mean from the eye test it's obvious that it's a dirty play but I guess there is still enough ambiguity to not upgrade it.
@NEOMeck@Gregory27928559@MikeyOver1 Does pulling with the left hand not count as fall through? But after reading this and watching the replay, I can see how it falls into 1, 2, and 4. It's quite obviously a dirty play meant to injure Castle, but objectively it still qualifies as non-flagrant.
@kawhi_ring I'm taking an injury ring over no ring. Spurs were projected to be a play-in team before the season started. They were mocked for having no playoff experience when post season came. There's no shame in an injury ring if no one expected you to win in the first place.
@DrDsTakeKeep100@redraiderman1 Honestly I don't care if people said injured Minnesota and injured OKC and injured Mitch Robinson. People expected this to be a play-in team before the season started. Injured chip is better than no chip. I'll take that.
@DjMarti17252466@NBA You missed the point entirely. No one said role players can't be good coaches. It's more about a star player's coachability and mindset. Have you heard of the story of Tim Duncan and the video guy told by David West?
