Last few minutes of the 4th quarter before his monster dunk to end the game, Simmons started to press too much and made about 4 bad plays in a row. He has to control that impulsive hero ball thing. But he has a lot of tools and is improving all the time IMO. With Patty and Manu off the bench he can bring the lightning, the energy, and the good defense to this year's team. Good to see him do so well.

Absolutely, this was the first game he really played within himself and within the offense. Late in the game he flashed the usual "stuff" and it got him in trouble a couple of times. I hope The coaching staff spends a lot of time showing him the stark contrast within this single game. Playing under control, Simmons could really shine - and help the Spurs, big time!

I am really happy he had a great game and wish him more with Green being out I think this is the time he can gain that confidence and yes I like him at SG more then Anderson.

Pop has A LOT more patience when it comes to players who have shown potential than we think. Asked about Simmons:
Popovich was asked if Simmons, a second-year pro from Houston, was better suited to come off the bench.
“The guy has played about a minute and a half in the NBA,” Popovich said. “I’m not going to label him or say what he is. He’s a work in progress. I think he is going to be a good player. But to say now what he is going to do or what role he will have is premature.”
Essentially Pop not placing a ceiling on him as a strict bench player, while also recognizing, he's a work in progress.

Thanks for the quote. I appreciate those nuggets you glean. :toast Pop expressing not only more patience in player management but more flexibility than we fans perceive in his game management, seems to me. Kind of a paradox.

I remember Pop stating that Forbes was too young and inexperienced to say that he's a "pure shooter." (he's 23 and older than Anderson for reference here). I posted that in "the loaded magazine". How far can Forbes expand his game, or whether he even survives the entire season without being traded or waived due to the team's need to shore up some other spot, remains to be seen, but I do find insight in many statements Pop makes concerning the young players when he's not being purposefully cryptic.
I also remember an interview from Bertans where he said he needed to refine his post up game, or his game inside the arc. That may end up being nothing... but I do like that Pop looks to expand guys games and stretch them to see how far they can go...
Something else he had said, this time a few years ago about a young Kawhi: that not everybody had the ability to learn (and Kawhi obviously had that)... so it's interesting to watch these guys learn... Sharing these tidbits is part of what makes my post count so high TBH. :toast

I do believe Pop is referring to NBA experience in youth, not age. Age has little relation when progression is concerned. Pop refers to Simmons as a young guy, and so does Kawhi, even though Simmons is older than Kawhi. It's an experience thing, and in that regard these guys are all green, Simmons probably being the greenest in terms of experience as he has never had a high level of coaching or legitimate competition before the spurs. Forbes came from SMU, and while they're certainly not the worst program around, they compete at a much lower level.

Unfortunately, College Football is better than the Spurs tonight... :rolleyes Simmons isn't exactly the least experienced, although the most journeyed, IMHO. He played at UH and spent two seasons with Austin. Incidentally, he also payed JUCO ball in Midland, Texas. Back in the day, they won a JUCO National Championship with three great guards: Spud Webb, Mookie Blaylock and (actually the best JUCO player of the 3) Ricky Grace. You probably know Spud and Mookie...

Youre reaching very hard if you think Simmons has had legitimate experience and coaching. Playing a lot of ball does not equate to good experience, if anything it's worse to play a lot and not have good teaching, as you pick up bad habits you have to be taught against. As well, those bad habits are reinforced against inferior competition, and you have to learn how to play ball all over again against players with the same ability and skill as you.
Which explains Simmons HORRIBLE TO rate, which still shows its head at times. He has never handled the ball at a high level, or much of anything else, which was clear to see in his first year.

I mentioned it during the summer league, in that he didn't look a whole lot different from last season. His handles do look better though, and that's a good play, IMO.
As I said after the Dubs game, the name of the game for him, Kyle and even Patty, is consistency. They need to bring it every night, and the Spurs need them to bring it every night.

If only he would take the open shots within the flow of the offense.
I'm glad a never gave up on him. I, like most posters here was so close to giving up on him during the preseason/start of the season, but I just wasn't ready to do it. He's playing well. I like his tenacity on defense. His offense still needs work, can get better there for sure - especially on not passing up open shots, but at least he's putting in the effort on defense, and that gets on my good side. It still drives me crazy on offense when he passes up open shots, but at least he's trying to bring it on the defensive end consistently. I thought he was awesome in the second half of last game against Phoenix defensively after having an average first half. His ball handling seems to have improved a bit too.

I don't know..it appeared that he was a lock for the rotation, last year, until Pop permanently benched him for Anderson somewhere around late February IIRC..
I wouldn't pencil him in, yet, despite performing much better than Anderson, so far..

Alright, I hope not, because I believe he's improving steadily, and if he gets the court time, I think he can be a pretty decent bench player. He's got to learn to take those open shots though. I hear he has really been working on his shooting quite a bit. If that's the case, he's gotta be more confident in taking those open shots.

He's coming into his own.
He's letting it fly from 3 in rhythm and knocking them down, instead of turning them down and driving into congested areas of the court.
If he can sustain this level of play and keep building on his game, it will be huge for the ceiling of this team. Spurs desperately need consistency from the 4th wing spot.

I am starting to believe in him... truth be told they don't need that nightly. He started off with his shot but kept aggressive.. he's not going to have that amount of shots on the regular and he's streaky with his jumper but he's capable of explosions of that nature. I have faith the bench is better than last season.. I think Simms will be impactful.
And I stated already his $ will really be decided in the postseason. A lot of guys in contract seasons in the team and though he's restricted he will earn himself a lot if he maintains good play like that in the playoffs.

Wow. It looks there's no way he should be able to get to the rim.
Love this guys story, and really like the fact that four players on the current team cut their teeth in the D-league, or spent significant time there after being drafted, and are now solid contributors. Green, Simms, DD, and Kyle.
Simmons is all about pressure, pressure, pressure. He's not waiting for the game to come to him, or taking what the defense gives. When he subs into the game, you know he's coming at you. Whether he pulls it off or not, he's never reacting to what the other team is doing - he's trying to make sure that they are the ones reacting. He doesn't always pull it off (obviously). Sometimes it's not even about his talent level - he's trying shit that nobody could pull off, outside of a video game. He only had an inch to spare on that dunk. If he had clanked it, people would be screaming about how bad he is.
I like the way he plays. He's pushing his own limits pretty hard most of the time. But I think the game will start to slow down for him, and he'll start to pull off more plays than he blows up. (I think it already has started slowing down for him.) The thing I really like seeing now is when he blows it, but stays in the play and gets a steal/deflection, or gets a run-down block on the other end.

Last year he played 813 minutes and had 58 assists & 53 turnovers. This year he's played 615 minutes so far and has 57 assists to just 35 turnovers
He just needs to cut the traveling turnovers a bit but he's making less mistakes and is doing his best playing next to 2 ball dominant players in Manu and Patty.

The last game against the Lakers shows that he may have reached the next level.
Notables:
One play he dribbles into traffic, dribbles out and then goes back in to make an easy assist to Dedmon for a dunk. Watch: http://www.nba.com/video/2017/01/12/0021600588-lal-sas-play3
Another play, he has this tear drop that honestly is going to be unstoppable. Simmons is normally is stopped because defenders anticipate that he's jumping near the ring. But if he jumps like from the free throw line or further and does a tear drop. Then that's deadly. Watch: http://www.nba.com/video/2017/01/12/0021600588-lal-sas-play5
Finally, his 3 point shooting is on the mark in the last couple of games.
He's busting out.... unfortunately Spurs don't have a long term contract on him!

Won't name names, but I remember when some people on this forum wanted Simmons cut and Livio Jean Charles on the team in July.
:lol
Some suspects also wanted him cut so the team can make room for both Forbes and Garino

I'm glad I wasn't one of them. During the preseason almost everyone gave up on him, but I said that I wasn't quite ready to give up on him. I got down on him during the season, especially towards the end when he started falling out of the rotation (just like last season), but I think he has definitely turned it around.

Maybe he could use his pointy elbows to drag a washcloth over you and begin the cleanup process. After Manu took yet another huge steaming shit all over you.

There were a couple of argentinean fans that wanted that.
To be fair to everyone, he's made strides. He had a very uneven entire season.
But he put it together when it mattered...
And I said since middle of the season, even when he was scrubbing things up, that he still had time to turn things around and get paid with a good postseason performance.
Now it's up to free agency to see what happens.

As he should. The guy was legit considering being a barber 3 years ago, with 4 very young girls. Anyone expecting a discount or a 1 and 1 deal will be disappointed. Also, Pop said end of season he's happy for Simmons bc he's going to have an NBA career now... never said "he's the future" or something like that.
So, I think overall they will aim to retain him but are probably aware he could be way overpriced.
In fact I think Simmons aims to start for an NBA team next season. I remember at the Rising Star game he mentioned he wanted to be an all star. I have no idea if he can achieve that, but it's unlikely to happen while he's in the Spurs bench. He's going to get a bigger role in a different NBA team.
Btw, this is a general statement is not aimed at you. We have all speculated about his future in the Spurs or not.

Mine was more a statement that winning is not a priority for him. Probably money, then role, then winning. He may sign one of those poison pill contracts making it hard for the Spurs to retain him. I wouldn't hold it against him.

Would suck to lose him, Dedmon, Ginobili & Mills all in the same off-season. He has shown enough to at least be able to replicate Manu's production of the last few seasons.
Although, there maybe a few similar skilled SG's available through a trade or free agency (Will Barton, Josh Richardson, Ben McLemore, etc.).

Well, if Simmons didn't improve his defense to the level he showed in the playoffs, I wouldn't have a problem letting him go if some team overpays him. As I'm defense first, I'm really reluctant to let him go because he showed he can play some great defense in the playoffs. I still don't really want to overpay, though as his 3 point shot isn't consistent, but if he can consistently play defense like he showed in the playoffs without fouling, he'd be a good player to have with all the firepower some of the other top teams have.

Exactly the job he did on Harden was amazing. Few players have defended him as well as he did. It's a waste to let that go. It's good to have multiple defensive options.

Simmons mistake was to hire a rookie agent. When you are going for possibly your only big payday you can't hire an inexperienced agent. The agent was the one who likely set his expectations way too high probably to entice Simmons to sign with him and then blamed the Spurs for his inability to deliver. That, no doubt, raised the animosity level between the parties. It was likely the agent who floated the number of $9,000,000 per year that the Spurs were willing to pay to try to set the market where he promised his client. It may have had the effect of discouraging more reasonable offers from teams while money was still available. Now we get the spin from Simmons and agent to try to save face.

This quote is pure ignorance:
As Selden dribbled up the court, he was able to wiggle around enough to render Bryn Forbes, the only defender between him and the rim, useless. Selden gathered the ball, then raised up for what he thought was going to be an uncontested, unimportant, uninteresting layup. Selden hadn’t seen Simmons trailing the play behind him, though.
Simmons doesn't get to that shot without Forbes slowing Selden down. A hidden aspect to Danny Green's transition D was Parker doing the same thing on breaks. He'd slow the guy down and force him to take a soft layup on the wrong side of the rim, which allowed Green to swat it away. Tony declining and the other PGs not understanding what their role is in transition defense has reduced the block opportunities greatly.

Very good point. If Forbes can be a decent team defender, and the rest of his SL game translates (reasonably well) to the big time, he could get meaningful minutes in the RS and even some rotation minutes in the playoffs.

I have a 6 of the Guinness extra stout. It's pretty good with the right foods, which is normally anything you can find.
I can eat a few wings, not a ton, but my share.
I bake them then boil them for a couple minutes in Frank's and butter.
