Stephon Castle put Cade Cunningham in absolute lockdown during the Spurs’ 114–103 win over Detroit. While Wemby handled the back line, Castle was the point-of-attack nightmare. He held an MVP candidate to 5-of-26 shooting (19.2%) and just 2-of-9 from three. Castle’s physical, "in-your-shirt" defense visibly frustrated Cunningham, leading to... show more

Stephon Castle said the controversy surrounding the Wemby elbow wasn't going to stop the Spurs from playing physical in Game 5: "If you're not physical with [the Timberwolves]... they have a lot of guys that can score in isos and play one-on-one. In order to get stops and be able to contest, you have to be physical. Just trying to play smart and see how the ref is calling it." (via San Antonio Spurs, Q: Hector Ledesma)

CADE LEVELS UP TO SEND PISTONS TO EAST SEMIFINALS One week ago, Cade Cunningham faced one of the biggest tests of his young career. The No. 1 Pistons were in a 3-1 hole against the No. 8 Magic after back-to-back losses. Cunningham had shot 15-of-46 in those losses while committing 17 turnovers – his most in any two-game span this season. Six days later, he walked off Detroit’s floor to a standing ovation – Game 7 in hand, and the Pistons’ first Playoff series win since 2008 was secured. To get there, he delivered his biggest three-game playoff stretch yet. Game 5 Eruption: Looking to avoid elimination on their home floor, Cunningham carried the Pistons with a franchise Playoff-record 45 points, winning an all-time duel with Paolo Banchero (45 pts). Game 6 Rally: Facing a 24-point deficit in Orlando, Cade (32 pts, 10 reb, 4 stl) sparked Detroit’s largest comeback of the season with 24 points and 9 boards in the 2nd half, sending the series back to Detroit Then, Game 7: The first of Cunningham’s career and one that will go down in the record books, as the 2x All-Star took over with 32 points, 12 assists and 2 blocks, scoring 17 in the 2nd half to send Detroit to the East Semis. Cade averaged 36.3 PPG, 5.0 RPG and 6.7 APG while shooting 61.1% from deep in Games 5-7 – numbers he’s never matched over any three-game span in his career. “We were pushed to the limit,” said Cunningham after Game 7. “I think we got a lot better from this series. I got a lot better from this series – I learned a lot about myself.”

Draymond Green says he was disappointed in Stephon Castle for not guarding Jalen Brunson more: “To watch a guy guard the MVP of the NBA, back to back MVP of the NBA as good as we’ve seen anyone guard him for seven straight games. And then you come out and you’re playing against Jalen Brunson and you’re not glued to that guy. That was a bit disappointing to me.” (Via The Draymond Green Show)

Told ya. The NBA's Last 2 Minute Report confirms the out of bounds whistle on Stephon Castle was INCORRECT. In addition, NBA writer Tomer Azarly received confirmation from the league that Josh Hart should have been whistled for a foul on the Castle drive. Down 105-104 with 1:02 remaining, the Spurs were already in the bonus and the correct call would have given Castle a golden opportunity to take the lead with two massive free throws.

Skip Bayless says the overreaction by the NBA on SGA’s foul baiting, is the referees allow Stephon Castle to play football against him: “Flat out football, he can attack him, he can ram him, he can body bag him, he can do whatever he wants. Hack him across the arms out of way from the basket. And Stephon Castle has had 5 fouls each of the last 2 games but it should have been 25 fouls. Because it’s every single time, I’ve never witnessed anything like it. It got so crazy last night, I tweeted “This just in Stephon Castle just made the pro bowl.” (Via Gil’s Arena)

In yet another appearance at Spurs practice, Coach Pop held court on the sideline with most of the Spurs players in attendance. He sat with Wemby & David Jones-Garcia for a while. Steph Castle said that when he sat down with Pop, his old coach talked about his defense in his playoff debut last night and encouraged him to keep being himself.

Nick Wright says the main character in the Spurs collapse is the only guy it can be Victor Wembanyama: “They guy who supposed to be the best player in the world, and in the 2nd half of that game after trash talking and what the kids would call aura farming, and letting everyone know how in there head he was. He went 3 for 14 looked absolutely winded and in a 4th quarter where Stephon Castle who’s younger than him went 8 for 8 from the free throw line, and Dylan Harper who’s younger than him went 2 for 2 from the free throw line, he went 1 for 4 including 2 misses in the final hundred seconds up 1 of a finals game.” (Via What’s Wright? with Nick Wright)

Castle led the Spurs in half-court matchups defending KAT in G3 (16). KAT only attempted 1 shot. Some of that was doubling w/ a roaming C. Some of that was late-switching against the PnP. Some of that was shot-selection from other Knicks. Something for both teams to think about

Kevin Garnett says the Knicks got to get Stephon Castle under control: “If they don’t get Castle under control, he is out of control. I just told you Castle is like bullet in the neighborhood. If you’ve been in the neighborhood, bro, anybody from I’m doing the Mason Dixon. Anybody from Virginia on down know what I’m talking about because everybody up North don’t know what I’m talking about. I’m talking about everything in the country when you go to neighborhood and this a little stray dog walking around and he a white nose pit his name bullet everybody like oh sh*t there go bullet. That’s how Castle is right now. Castle believe man I’m the best player in here.” (Via KG: Certified)

Skip Bayless says Wemby as the new face of the league, has become the most protected player in basketball: “I don’t want to hear about the officiating but I do think even though Jalen Brunson got a fist full of jersey, you can’t throw him down and get away with that, you got to, “Come on man.” You got to call that it’s just a flagrant foul. And I don’t care what you say about the Stephon Castle play this just in he made the pro bowl.” (Via Gil’s Arena)

Former Republican Congressman Joe DioGuardi explains how Albanians who fled the Ottoman invasion and settled in Italy built a significant castle, anticipating that the Ottomans might eventually reach Italy's shores. The area where the castle stood is known today as Calabria. The name comes from the words "Cal" (Kala, meaning "castle" or "fortress") and "Abria" (Arberia), which together mean "The Castle of Arberia" or "the castle of the Albanians." The Turks did arrive on the shores of Calabria, as predicted, around 1525. However, by then, their army had been weakened by decades of battles with the Albanians, who had been desperately trying to thwart the invasion. Although Albania fell to the Ottomans, their forces were defeated in Calabria and never advanced further into Europe. For many of us, witnessing the recent Islamic invasion of Europe is shocking, especially since our nations still bear the scars from the last Ottoman invasion. DioGuardi's parents were Arberesh, a community of Albanians who were forced to leave Albania in the 1450s to escape the Ottomans and to this day live in Southern Italy.
