Game Thread: Knicks vs Spurs 4:30 EST (3:30 CST, 11:30 Riga Time)

[spurs10]

Simmons!

[Mr. Body]

If that ends up being the case, it's not that surprising lol. You realize Simmons is 25 and Anderson is 21 right? Simmons also has two years playing with the Spurs D-League team as well. Guy didn't just get picked up off the street or something.

Given what an odd/unique skill set KA has, I expect it to take some time, but he has the smarts for this league. You have a good point about his age. I think he'll find his niche.

[FkLA]

Is there a worship center for Simmons yet or do I need to start the thread?

[Darkwaters]

Is there a worship center for Simmons yet or do I need to start the thread?

I got it

[DesignatedT]

He actually kind of did, tbh.

He's played with the Austin Spurs for two years. He has just as much if not more experience in the Spurs system then KA does.

[RD2191]

The fuck cady

[TXstbobcat]

Slomo!!!!!!

[BatManu20]

There you go KA

[GooberNuts]

Anderson waking from his slumber?

[TXstbobcat]

Slomo hitting some shots

[r0drig0lac]

Kyle ..nice move

[RD2191]

He's played with the Austin Spurs for two years. He has just as much if not more experience in the Spurs system then KA does.
I know, but he was picked up in an open tryout for the Toros.

[TXstbobcat]

Slomo!!!!!!!!

[Mugen]

FATHEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD

[random21]

Kyle showing the nice shooting touch.... :bobo

[DesignatedT]

Ok Kyle.

[Darkwaters]

Definitely nice to see Kyle hit once and a while!

[BatManu20]

That was clean! All ball

[KDKSpurs24]

Clean...

[manufan10]

That was a clean block, imo.

[random21]

That was clean! All ball

[TheMulletMan3000]

Clean block

[Darius McCrary]

Livio just got robbed of an awesome block

[Keepin' it real]

Is the honeymoon over between Spurstalk and Cady Lalanne/Livio/Bertans?

[TXstbobcat]

Is the honeymoon over between Spurstalk and Cady Lalanne/Livio/Bertans?

Yeah, spurstalk left them for Simmons.

[kawhidoyoudothistome]

Is the honeymoon over between Spurstalk and Cady Lalanne/Livio/Bertans?

Livio's still blockin' the shit outta people. :hat

[Chinook]

Spurs SL team could be scary if Cady, LJC, Anderson and Simmons can call put it together consistently.

[BillMc]

Is the honeymoon over between Spurstalk and Cady Lalanne/Livio/Bertans?

We're on the way home and the new wife is beginning to nag a bit. :lol

[ceperez]

Becky in the locker room telling guys they better not lose her first coached game like

She's coaching against Derek Fisher... so she better deliver!

[NASpurs]

It's Brian Grant reincarnated!

[NASpurs]

Yeah, spurstalk left them for Simmons.

We're a fickle bunch :lol

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Jesus, Dairis

[Robz4000]

Forgot about this game. What's happened so far?

[TXstbobcat]

Nice airball Bertrans.

[Kurik]

Bertans hasn't looked right since he got hit in the head.

[TheMulletMan3000]

god that was awful

[Splits]

Forgot about this game. What's happened so far?

Simmons happened

[steeledl]

Another nice job creating offense by Simmons.

[DesignatedT]

Bertans never had a chance.

[kawhidoyoudothistome]

Bertans hasn't looked right since he got hit in the head.

Maybe he's normal now..

[Keepin' it real]

Yeah, spurstalk left them for Simmons.

That's cold.

[KDKSpurs24]

Bertans never had a chance.
:lol

[Darkwaters]

Is the honeymoon over between Spurstalk and Cady Lalanne/Livio/Bertans?

Not at all.

Jean-Charles is still exactly what he was at the beginning of SL. All defense, no offense. But that defense is just nasty. Very excited for him if he can figure out some O.

Lalanne is the 55th pick. The fact that he looked so good in the first SL game was very surprising. But he was probably always Europe-bound this offseason. Him and Mulitinov are probably our best C prospects outside the association. And considering our lack of depth there this season he might be an option next year.

Bertans is still what he was from the beginning also. A great option for a TC invite. I hope he still comes to camp as I think hes done a lot of good things. But his chances of making the team have dwindled to virtually nothing with the signing of Simmons.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Simmons had that 3, but at least he got the midrange shot.

[BillMc]

This interview is going on waaaay too long.

[RD2191]

Get ugly ass Derrick Williams off my screen.

[DesignatedT]

Simmons....

[KDKSpurs24]

This interview is going on waaaay too long.

[TheMulletMan3000]

Building around Melo... People tried, it doesn't work. Melo sucks

[ChumpDumper]

Probably a good contract waiting for him in Europe right now.

[Marcus Bryant]

Pop opens up another bottle.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

It would be a lot more fun if they didn't interview scrubs.

[NASpurs]

I've been impressed with the way Simmons has passed the ball.

[Marcus Bryant]

Get ugly ass Derrick Williams off my screen.

[2centsworth]

[ChumpDumper]

619987625143746560Is that an actual saying?

[GreggPopAsnitch]

He almost had another crazy dunk earlier in the game coming off a steal but got fouled. He is all hustle, way better than Reggie IMO.

[Mal]

These guys plays the Spurs way tbh

[Ellsworth]

Then sign him twice
Still surprised no other teams took JS off Austin last season like Utah did with Bryce COTTON.

[jeebus]

Too bad the spurs coach in this game is just an object for the players to blow their load into at halftime tbh.

[Mr. Body]

Shit. Just realized I should have been taping MSG, not NBAtv.

[manufan10]

Bertans really has struggled since the first game in Utah.

[Texas_Ranger]

Bertans should stop shooting

[BatManu20]

Early is going to be an NBA player, like his game

Spurs were interested in him in last year's draft, but IIRC, were turned of by his personality after interviews, as were a few teams.

[RD2191]

Fuck, Spurs like collapse.

[ElNono]

Let's see Becky's coaching here in crunchtime

[Marcus Bryant]

Bertans needs to hand in the basketball.

Best looking coach in the association.

[GreggPopAsnitch]

Better get used to it :lol


I know, fans should be critics as well, some people are just savages though lol. It's kind of crazy asking of players something you couldn't even do against 12 year olds.

[BillMc]

Ok Simmons and Anderson will make it.

At this point are we sure Darius and Cady get training camp invites? Certainly the later as he's a draft pick. Right?

[ceperez]

Darrel Eddie doesn't make the cut for missing the open 3 point field goal.

The corner 3 is the easiest to make and he misses.

[Mr. Body]

Best looking coach in the association.

Have you ever seen Stan van Gundy in a two-piece? No? I'd shut up, then, if I were you.

Lalanne might be asked to go to Europe but could force his way into training camp. Then the Spurs could either keep him on the team or renounce his rights but have the Austin team take him.

[Obstructed_View]

Fisher must be so proud of himself

Give him a break. He took the SL gig because he wanted to know what it felt like to coach a winning team.

[Obstructed_View]

So Vegas came up fast. I don't know how prepared everyone was. Very helter skelter for both teams.

Lalanne is a black hole. I'm not sure how often he passes, but it's not much. Really really limits his value after this many games. I understand wanting to show you can make a jumper, but holy shit, it's a team sport.

I felt like Simmons was doing the same thing at first, but I think he was just really really amped up. He got some steals, but he gambles way too much, and he goes one on three too often. He also chirps at the refs a bit too much.

For all the complaining about Kyle, you look up and he completely outplayed everyone on both teams. The pass he made at the end was amazing, as was the steal and layup he had. He's not going to be Kobe Bryant on the big team, so trying to be such on the SL team makes no sense. He's watching the coaches and playing a team game. I was sickened by his first game in Utah, but he's been solid since then. Will be interesting to see how he does against even better players.

I still like Bertans, but he laid an egg in every way today. I think he spent too much time at the blackjack tables last night.

[tholdren]

lmfao at Becky drawing up that ugly ass shit.
self portrait tbh

[aal04]

A part from Bertains catching fire in game 1, he hasnt impressed me. If his shot isnt falling hes useless.

Lalanne and LVC are hackers. They need to do another 2-3 years of college and then development league.

Kyle is another level above these guys, though he has glaring holes in his game.

[Marcus Bryant]

I felt like Simmons was doing the same thing at first, but I think he was just really really amped up. He got some steals, but he gambles way too much, and he goes one on three too often. He also chirps at the refs a bit too much.

Hmmm. He got off the plane and played like that. Have to like the aggressiveness and energy. I think he was amped up given the situation. Those kind of issues are generally coachable. But it's hard to push a pussycat to be a lion, to quote a famous philosopher.

Anderson was a steadying presence on the court and helped keep the Spurs in a position to have a chance at the win. Definitely encouraged to see this game from him. He's a glue kind of player and his skills definitely fit the Spurs' system.

[Darkwaters]

Simmons is obviously the story of this game. He made some really nice plays and I think we can all see why the Spurs signed him. That being said, I can definitely see why his turnover numbers are so high. His handle is definitely a little loose and he really wants to be a slasher and get to the rack every time. I'm glad hes got a solid 3 point shot, but from the looks of this game he definitely prefers to jack up dunks more than 3's. Still - about as good of a showing as we could hope for. He'll be an exciting player that fans and crowds will love.

Kyle Anderson very quietly had a pretty stellar statistical game. I still feel like he almost gets stripped or loses the ball most times he touches it. His handle is also loose and a lot of his passes are lazy. But tonight his shot was falling and it made a ton of difference. 8-15 is a great shooting clip and his rebounding numbers continue to be steady (his most consistent attribute). Right at the beginning of the game he got blocked so bad by Porzingis that I thought it might effect him all game (it was pretty terrible, really). But he bounced back and I was very surprised to read his stat line at the end of the game. Good job.

Cady Lalanne has regressed a bit since his first game. He went 1-7 tonight and that shooting touch we saw doesn't seem to be around much anymore. He did have a very nice block though and rebounds reasonably well. One bright spot is that his fouling has gone down over the last few games. Tonight he only registered 2 fouls in over 17 minutes. For Lalanne thats actually a huge improvement. The Spurs should be helping him to aggressively pursue an overseas contract and talk him into coming back next season. Hes not ready. But hes definitely intriguing. I definitely think he was a coup of a selection at 55. He very well might have an NBA future one day.

Dairis Bertans' shooting woes continue. He just hasn't been able to replicate the success of the first game. He continues to move on the court well and do a lot of other good things (including a very nifty assist tonight), but that shooting touch just isn't there. If he would be interested in coming to training camp he'd be a good player to practice with. But he'll be back in Europe next season. Still, considering his obvious basketball smarts and all the goods things hes doing on the floor it makes me that much more interested in his taller and more skilled younger brother Davis. Hopefully next year we bring in our 2011 second rounder.

Livio Jean-Charles continues to do what hes been doing all along. Hes intimidating on defense and totally inept on offense. Nothing new today.

Jerrell Eddie notoriously missed a wide open 3 that would have tied the game at the very end. It was in and out and just barely missed. Otherwise he spent most of the time on the floor shooting. 3-10 including 2-6 from 3. Didn't really contribute in any other statistical area (1 rebound, 1 assist) in nearly 21 minutes. Hopefully he can have a prolific shooting night or two because hes not really doing a whole lot else.

Will Cherry - kill me now.

Ok Simmons and Anderson will make it.


There's never been any question on Anderson.

Was at the game. That dunk by Simmons was incredible. You can tell he wanted that one pretty badly and had been waiting for the right moment. As long as he can hold on to the ball when getting to the rim, he should be able to provide decent offense and solid defense, that is if he stays motivated and aggressive like he was today. He was out there to make a point to everyone that he deserves to be on this team.

If people were hitting shots from Simmons passes his stats would look a lot better. Scrubs just couldn't make him look good. Gambles with the reach around steal too much. Can't wait to watch more of him tbh.

Have you ever seen Stan van Gundy in a two-piece? No? I'd shut up, then, if I were you.
lol, my mistake.

Lalanne is similar to David Robinson in his style of play...

[slick'81]

Maybe Simmons got a little tony Allen in him?

I hope so!

Kyle Anderson played well today, imo

do you have a link?

[tatteredprince]

good potential in Kyle and Simmons

but its just a small sample size

[ceperez]

That would be a great development.

[Obstructed_View]

Hmmm. He got off the plane and played like that. Have to like the aggressiveness and energy. I think he was amped up given the situation. Those kind of issues are generally coachable. But it's hard to push a pussycat to be a lion, to quote a famous philosopher.

Excellent point. When posting my impression, I had not yet read his tweet about just arriving, which makes his impressive showing that much more impressive. There is almost ALWAYS a use for a guy who plays hard and give effort. If you can throw him into a game where everyone else seems to be going through the motions, it's a nice asset to have.

He wasn't doing a lot of waiting. I think that one was his third monster dunk attempt. He got a great steal early in the game and decided to tomahawk it on the breakaway and got it blocked by the guy behind him.
