马刺、黄蜂，或者进攻中的传球干扰，都没有防守可言。
情况本可能更糟，也可能更好。难道就不能稍微好一点吗？唉，我们的英雄们在一场德克萨斯规模的枪战中没能笑到最后。新秀天才斯蒂芬·卡斯尔(Stephon Castle)以26分领跑全队，德文·瓦塞尔贡献了22分，两人各自投进了3个三分球。
我发誓每次我被分配写集锦文章，马刺队就输球。但我本不该发誓，因为用塞缪尔·L·杰克逊的声音大喊“我受够了在这该死的球场上这些（脏话）空位三分！”实在是不雅，尤其是在对手投进一个空位（脏话）三分时。
总之，请欣赏桑德罗·马穆克拉什维利(Sandro Mamukelashvili)的这个盖帽，它促成了乔丹·麦克劳林的一次转换三分，以此来清醒一下头脑。

谁来报警抓一下斯蒂芬·卡斯尔，他偷了史蒂夫·纳什在其巅峰时期普及的那种冰球式在球门后方的隐蔽传球。毫无疑问，卡斯尔最近的表现有所提升，这得益于文班亚马(Victor Wembanyama)和达龙·福克斯进入长期伤病名单后带来的更多机会（尽管上场时间并没有增加），而且看到这位一年级球星稳稳地走向年度最佳新秀奖，这绝对是件好事。
在一个充满更高期望的赛季里，卡斯尔赢得年度最佳新秀奖并不在每个人的必胜卡上（除了我——我当然要不停地提醒大家，我做出了里奥格兰德河这边最不具争议、相当安全、不值得点击诱饵的预测）。
除非另一支球队的另一位新秀在赛季剩余时间里场均能得到50分，否则马刺队将突然拥有连续两届的年度最佳新秀（上一次做到这一点的球队是明尼苏达森林狼，他们拥有安德鲁·威金斯和卡尔-安东尼·唐斯）。

布雷克·韦斯利(Blake Wesley)的表现与西南航空截然相反，他在起飞扣篮时没有向我们收取托运行李的费用。韦斯利这种人，即使他拿的是A组的票，也会站在B组的队伍里。
坦白熊：我曾经拿着C组的票站在A组的队伍里，但西南航空的服务员人很好，她给了我一张免费的饮料券，作为对“误会”的补偿。这件事已经困扰我多年了。我很高兴能在关于马刺队以145-134（没有加时！）输给夏洛特黄蜂队的集锦文章中，倾诉我埋藏在心底的恶魔，时间是公元2025年。

你知道克里斯·保罗已经参加了本赛季马刺队的每一场比赛，使他成为完成这一壮举的最年长的球员吗？你知道你只需要伍斯特沙司、番茄酱、蛋黄酱、蒜粉、胡椒和盐就可以自制Raising Cane’s的酱汁吗？这两件事都是很棒的成就，但只有一件能在你捆绑汽车和房屋保险时为你省钱，而另一件可以在你想吃南方风味的炸鸡时为你节省0.39美元。

分不清卡斯尔是假装失去控制，看起来像是要绊倒，从而晃过了他的防守者，还是他真的失去了控制，即将绊倒，但仍然晃过了他的防守者。无论如何，我看不够他带球上篮。
看着这位新秀进一步完善他的比赛将会非常有趣（也许会让这位年轻人一次性打超过35分钟的时间！）。

我经常想知道NBA球员是否有人在NBA比赛期间为他们更新他们在锦标赛中比赛的母校篮球队的比分。但如果没有，而且哈里森·巴恩斯(Harrison Barnes)，你碰巧看到了这篇文章，请接受我对杜克大学/北卡罗来纳大学今晚在马刺比赛期间进行的比赛的慰问。

又一个坦白熊：过去每当我观看国王队的比赛时，我都会用Snoop Dogg的“Lodi Dodi”的风格，异口同声地吟唱“弗拉德 弗拉德，我们喜欢聚会；我们不惹麻烦，我们不打扰任何人”（关于萨克拉门托国王队伟大的弗拉德·迪瓦茨）。当时国王队/湖人队的激烈对抗堪比当今任何体育对抗，甚至超过了比尔/酋长队、孟加拉虎/酋长队、牛仔队/实际获胜、老鹰队/酋长队、牛仔队/实际上更早地支付他们的自由球员费用而不是等到价格上涨、49人队/酋长队，以及尼科·哈里森/小牛队球迷之间的对抗。
这不算是什么坦白，更像是一种无稽之谈，引导我说出“马穆克拉什维利，马穆克拉什维利，我们喜欢聚会……”

如果你错过了比赛，因为你太忙于计算彩票赔率（NBA和强力球），这里是全场比赛的集锦：
接下来，马刺队将于2025年3月15日星期六立即主场迎战新奥尔良鹈鹕队，进行背靠背的第二场比赛。

Highlights: Stephon Castle stands out in Spurs stinging loss to the Hornets
There’s no D in Spurs or Hornets or offensive pass interference.
Things could be a lot worse. They could be a lot better. Can’t things be just a little better too? Alas, our heroes found themselves on the not right end of a Texas-sized shootout. Rookie phenom Stephon Castle led the team with 26 points while Devin Vassell chipped in 22 points as both players drained 3 three-pointers apiece.
I swear every time I’m assigned to a highlights article, the Spurs lose. But I shouldn’t swear because it’s uncouth to yell in a Samuel L. Jackson voice, “I have had it with these (expletive) open threes on this (expletive) court,” every time the opponent drains an open (expletive) three.
Anyway, please enjoy this block by Sandro Mamukelashvili that led to a transition three by Jordan McLauglin as a palate cleanser.
The block

Someone call the police on Stephon Castle for stealing this hockey-behind-the-goal style pocket pass that Steve Nash popularized during his heyday in the association. Castle no doubt has come on of late with more opportunities (albeit without an increase in minutes) due to Victor Wembanyama and De’Aaron Fox hitting the long-term injury report, and it’s definitely good to see the first-year star cruise to that rookie-of-the-year award.
In a season of many, many higher expectations, Castle running away with the rookie-of-the-year-award was not on everyone’s bingo card (except mine—of course I have to keep reminding this into the void that I made the least controversial, reasonably safe, not worth a clickbait take this side of the Rio Grande river).
Unless another rookie on another team starts averaging 50 points per game the rest of the season, the Spurs suddenly have two back-to-back rookie of the year recipients (the last team to accomplish that was Minnesota with Andrew Wiggins and Karl-Anthony Towns).

Blake Wesley doing the opposite of Southwest Airlines by taking off for this dunk without charging us for a checked bag. Wesley’s the type of dude to stand in group B’s line even if he’s in group A.
Confession bear: I once stood in group A with a group C ticket, but the SW attendant was so nice she gave me a free drink ticket as amends for the “confusion.” That one has been weighing on me for years. I’m glad I’m able to air out my demons buried in a highlights article about a Spurs loss to the Charlotte Hornets 145 - 134 (without overtime!) in the year of our Lord twenty twenty five.

Did you know that Chris Paul has played in every single game for the Spurs this season, making him the oldest player to accomplish that mark? Did you know that you can make your own Raising Cane’s sauce with just Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, mayonnaise, garlic powder, pepper, and salt? Both are wonderful accomplishments, but only one will save you money when you bundle your car and home insurance while the other saves you $0.39 whenever you’re craving southern-style fried chicken.

Can’t tell if Castle pretended to lose control and look like he’s about to trip and blew past his defender in doing so, or if he actually lost control and was about to trip but still blew past his defender. Either way, I cannot enjoy enough watching him take the ball to the hoop.
It’s going to be fun watching the rookie further refine his game (and maybe let the young kid ball out for more than 35 minutes at a time!).

I often wonder if NBA players have someone updating them on scores of their alma mater’s basketball team playing in a tournament during an NBA game. But if not, and you happen to be reading this Harrison Barnes, please accept my condolences on that Duke/North Carolina game tonight that was going on during the Spurs game.

Another confession bear: I used to eponymously chant “Vlade Vlade, we likes to party; We don’t cause trouble, we don’t bother nobody” (about Sacramento Kings great Vlade Divac in the style of Snoop Dogg’s “Lodi Dodi”) any time I’d watch the Kings back in the day when the Kings/Lakers heated rivalry rivaled any sports rival today, more so than Bills/Chiefs, Bengals/Chiefs, Cowboys/actually winning, Eagles/Chiefs, Cowboys/actually-paying-their-free-agents-earlier-and-not-waiting-until-price-goes-up, 49ers/Chiefs, and Nico Harrison/Mavs fans.
Not really a confession, but more a nonsensical rant to lead me to say, “Mamukelashvili, Mamukelashvili, we likes to party . . .”
