Still getting used to opposing coaches state as Mark Daigneault did this morning when asked about cracking the Spurs defense: “First of all, they’re a really good defense. So it's easier to say than done.”

Several friends & family members, including their parents, will be in the crowd tonight to watch Julian and Justin Champagnie square off, Julian told me.

“A little extra umph for this one,” said Julian, who hails from Brooklyn.

Mitch on Wemby continuing to play limited minutes off the bench:

“That’s going to be the plan until it’s not. The season's long and grueling, so it's not like Day 5 of this or day whatever of that. It's a treacherous schedule, and so we have to continue to take it day by day…”

The Spurs churned the bottom of their roster Sunday, signing San Antonio Warren alumnus Stanley Umude to a two-way deal.

Mitch Johnson likes the wing’s 6-foot-6 size and defensive mindset.

“He was great in camp,” the coach said.

While it doesn’t count standings-wise, Tuesday’s game will count toward the 65 Wemby needs to play while logging at least 20 minutes (in all but two of those outings) to be eligible for the All-NBA teams or year-end awards. He can now miss a maximum of 18 games.

Mitch on whether Wemby will start or come off the bench:

“That’s a good question. That will be something Victor and I will continue to talk through and talk about. And it’s hard. He wants to play. He wants to start. He wants to finish…And we still have to think about what’s best for the team.”

Spurs open 3Q on a 16-7 run to take a 62-56 lead. Their defense, ball movement and Fox’s speed trigger the surge.

Can confirm Wemby will speak to the media this afternoon here in Vegas but caution it doesn’t mean he’s received clearance from Spurs medical staff to suit up tomorrow against OKC.

Guard trio of Fox, Castle & Harper is already paying off for #Spurs, and even bigger returns are expected in the future.

“We’re going to be scary,” Harper said.

A dive into this unselfish bunch and the patient project to make the most of their similar skills.

JJ Redick made it known last month he was a big Steph Castle fan.

"You just keep seeing this kid show up with the right frame of mind and competitive spirit every night,” he said.

With the NBA Cup Semis at stake, Castle was everything Redick described & more.

A line heard often tonight at the podium, from Mitch Johnson to Stephon Castle and beyond: “Keldon is the heart and soul of the team.”

He punched the Lakers in the face all by himself with his 13 points and 5 boards in the 1Q.

“There was a little just Cup awareness and discussion in the locker room. I thought that was cool.”
