听着，在这个赛季的这个阶段，胜负已经不再重要。季后赛也不重要（季后赛？！），甚至连训练都不重要（训练？我们谈论的是训练吗？），而且绝对不是（环顾四周，看看是否有人在听）（小声说）“摆烂”。重要的是氛围，伙计们（以及女士们——我们都在感受氛围）。

拉塞尔·威斯布鲁克以 30 分领跑全队，德安德烈·乔丹拿下了两双，克里斯·保罗贡献了 17 分——但现在不是 2016 年。后两位球员已经不在洛杉矶快船队了，如果你是一位圣安东尼奥马刺队的球迷，恰好在 2017 年昏迷后醒来并读到这篇文章，那么科怀·伦纳德现在是快船队的球员了！而且詹姆斯·哈登是他的队友！如果你不想再次震惊到昏迷，千万不要尝试阅读下一句话：《白莲花度假村》第三季第四集中……达拉斯小牛队将卢卡·东契奇交易到洛杉矶湖人队，换来了安东尼·戴维斯（哦，对了，如果你从 2017 年开始就没有醒来，现在是时候告诉你勒布朗·詹姆斯现在是洛杉矶湖人队的球员了！）——NBA 真是太疯狂了！
但在我们球队的救世主大卫·罗宾逊出生的那一年，哈里森·巴恩斯在周三的比赛中以 20 分领先马刺队，新秀斯蒂芬·卡斯尔差点拿下三双，贡献了 15 分、15 个篮板和 9 次助攻的数据。
我已经说过一次了，我会再说一次，直到我说得面红耳赤为止，你就是看不到太多新秀拥有这种球场智商和意识： 斯蒂芬·卡斯尔(Stephon Castle) 巧妙地假装投篮，然后敏捷地将球传给空位的桑德罗·马穆克拉什维利。

我没有太多机会说“狡猾的老将”，所以说狡猾的老将哈里森·巴恩斯有条不紊地运球到篮下，轻松拿到两分是很合适的。看看巴恩斯下赛季在马刺队的位置会很有趣，他与萨克拉门托国王队的续约合同还有两年。对于一支年轻的球队来说，他是一位宝贵的、狡猾的老将，但在某个时候，杰里米·索汉应该占据巴恩斯本赛季大部分时间占据的上场时间。

马拉基·布兰纳姆使出了一个漂亮的交叉运球动作（还在两腿之间！），摆脱了他的防守队员，投篮得分。布兰纳姆替补出场，表现出色，15 投 6 中，贡献 13 分。

我最喜欢但很少看到的篮球战术之一是，在对方球员抢到篮板后立即抢断。这 100% 靠的是努力，并且可以立即提升士气。在这个回合中，我几乎可以听到乔丹·麦克劳克林说“哟！”因为他抢断了篮板，并立即找到巴恩斯投出空位三分。

如果能花大价钱看一场马穆克拉什维利/卡斯尔对阵“壮志凌云”和“冰人”（RIP 瓦尔·基尔默）的沙滩排球双打比赛，我愿意的。考虑到纯粹的身高优势和运动能力，赌马穆和斯蒂芬赢，但不要低估“壮志凌云”鲁莽和“危险”的风格以及“冰人”流畅、零失误的比赛。

如果你错过了这场比赛，因为你太忙于观看《风云再起》、《墓碑镇》和《黑夜幽灵》，这里有完整的比赛亮点：
接下来，马刺队将于 2025 年 4 月 4 日星期五回到主场迎战克利夫兰骑士队。

You can be my wingman anytime.
Look, at this point in the season, it’s not about the win. It’s not about the playoffs (playoffs?!), it’s not even about practice (Practice. We’re talking about practice?), and it’s definitely not about (looks around to see if anyone is listening) (whispers) “tanking.” It’s about vibes, man (and woman—we are all just vibing).

Russell Westbrook led all players with 30 points, DeAndre Jordan had a double-double, and Chris Paul scored 17 points—but it’s not 2016. The latter two players are not with the Los Angeles Clippers anymore, and if you are a San Antonio Spurs fan that happens to be reading this right after waking up from being in a coma since 2017, Kawhi Leonard is now a Clipper! And James Harden is his teammate! And if you don’t want to be shocked back into a coma, definitely do not attempt to read the next sentence: In episode 4 of season 3 of “The White Lotus” . . . , the Dallas Mavericks trade Luka Dončić to the Los Angeles Lakers for Anthony Davis (oh yeah, I guess if you haven’t been awake since 2017, now is a good time as any to tell you that LeBron James is now a Los Angeles Laker!)—the NBA is wild!
But on Wednesday in the year of our franchise savior David Robinson, Harrison Barnes led the Spurs with 20 points, and rookie sensation Stephon Castle almost notched a triple-double with a 15 point, 15 rebound, 9 assist box score.
I’ve said it once, I’ll say it again until I’m silver and black in the face, but you just don’t see many rookies with this sort of court IQ and awareness: Stephon Castle subtly fakes a shot attempt only to deftly flip the pass to an open Sandro Mamukelashvili.

I don’t get to say “wily veteran” often so it’s cromulent to say that wily veteran Harrison Barnes methodically worked his way to the basket for this uncontested two. It will be interesting to see where Barnes fits in with the Spurs next season with 2 more years on his original extension with the Sacramento Kings. He’s a valuable, wily veteran for a team of youngsters, but at some point Jeremy Sochan should be soaking up the minutes that Barnes occupied for most of the season.

Malaki Branham busted out a sweet crossover move (and between the legs!) to breeze past his defender for the bucket. Branham for his part provided a spark off the bench with 13 points on 6 - 15 shooting.

One of my favorite, but seldomly seen, basketball plays is the steal immediately after the other player grabs a rebound. It’s 100% hustle and can provide an instant momentum boost. On this play, I could almost hear Jordan McLaughlin say “yoink!” as he swiped the board and immediately finds Barnes for the open three.

I would pay good money to watch a Mamukelashvili/Castle doubles beach volleyball match against Maverick and Iceman (RIP Val Kilmer). Money is on Mamu and Steph based on pure height advantage and athleticism, but don’t underestimate Mav’s reckless and “dangerous” style and Iceman’s smooth, no mistakes game.
