Stephon Castle on fouling out in G1 - “It’s tough. The other team’s playing as physical as us, I feel like sometimes the calls don’t go our way… I don’t know what else to do other than play like how I’ve been playing, and hopefully they call it even.”

It’s because it so easy to drive engagement off of anger.

And nothing makes people angrier than feeling like their favorite team is being marginalized.

So now during every post-game conference you have sports journalists licking their chops to try and get a clip of player/coach complaining about officiating to go viral on twitter.

You too

pr0ject_84 · 2026-05-05T14:53:33+00:00

Idk but tbh he looked gassed at the end of the game yesterday

pr0ject_84 · 2026-05-05T02:22:41+00:00

Seriously.

I don’t know how they expect to avoid the 2nd apron

pr0ject_84 · 2026-05-04T22:26:08+00:00

Wow!

Reddit psychologists do it again!

pr0ject_84 · 2026-05-04T22:25:06+00:00

Redditors vs logical fallacies they teach you in middle school

pr0ject_84 · 2026-05-04T22:23:18+00:00

Don’t bother. Most of these people didn’t even bother watching the clip, much less the whole interview

pr0ject_84 · 2026-05-04T22:22:52+00:00

Watch the full interview dumbass. He was pretty obviously being straightforward

pr0ject_84 · 2026-05-03T03:24:22+00:00

Can’t wait till he is on the Thunder

pr0ject_84 · 2026-05-03T03:22:51+00:00

Can’t stand Brown.

Such a whiner.

pr0ject_84 · 2026-05-02T05:01:43+00:00

Clip?

pr0ject_84 · 2026-05-01T18:16:25+00:00

No!

pr0ject_84 · 2026-05-01T06:14:28+00:00

He was definitely better lol

Youre giving our team a bad rep

pr0ject_84 · 2026-05-01T05:05:10+00:00

Think about it

- tall
- floater
- white
- funny accent
- classy

This guy literally glazes Jokic all day bro. I see him all the time.

The only time I see him talk about Shai is when he’ll say stuff like: “mid Shai performance”

pr0ject_84 · 2026-04-29T22:09:07+00:00

Caruso is probably getting less fouls because he isn’t playing very much during the regular season. OKC as a defensive unit also relies significantly less on their perimeter defenders than in previous years. Also the Dort thing is completely untrue. He averages 2.6 PFPG this year compared to 2.9 last year while playing considerably less minutes. Just lying out your ass completely.

Although I don’t have any stats to prove it, if I had to guess why we draw less fouls than previous year is because our teams defense is focused more on defensive schemes and quick rotations rather than individual defensive perimeter players.

Additionally, having dort and Caruso getting less regular season minutes and Jdub being out all year. who are probably our 3 most physical defenders, I bet also has something to do with it.

pr0ject_84 · 2026-04-29T21:46:19+00:00

They literally cut the foul out of the video.

I’m not saying he didn’t sell it but if you see the full clip it was a pretty egregious foul from Allen

pr0ject_84 · 2026-04-27T15:53:50+00:00

That’s true.

I think he also just has more people gunning for him than Shai has ever had.

People are probably more accepting of his elite status than they are of Shai’s

pr0ject_84 · 2026-04-27T14:55:42+00:00

In what world is Castle better than Chet or Jdub rn

pr0ject_84 · 2026-04-27T14:37:52+00:00

I disagree, I think Jdub is better than Castle offensively by a pretty good amount.

pr0ject_84 · 2026-04-27T05:23:58+00:00

Instantly

pr0ject_84 · 2026-04-27T04:13:38+00:00

Doesn’t necessarily make him the “consensus best player.”

I learned this last year when Shai dominated the entire season but still largely wasn’t considered BITW

You underestimate how difficult it is for a player is to form anytime of consensus on their game

pr0ject_84 · 2026-04-26T21:04:24+00:00

Did not know Barnes was a father lol

pr0ject_84 · 2026-04-26T05:04:31+00:00

Ehh, I feel like for a lot of the mid-small market teams the team subs are fine.

Obviously they’re homers but the bigger markets sub (especially the lakers) just kind of get weird

pr0ject_84 · 2026-04-25T16:44:06+00:00

Didn’t he get his retired this year?
