Game Thread: Spurs vs. Bucks 6:30 EST (5:30/c, 1:30 Riga Time)

[Shipupi]

Between Cady and Davies there are about 18 fouls already.
They have 2 & 3 (in that order)

[TXstbobcat]

Eddy333333333333

[Mugen]

It's actually pretty nice place to live if you get away from the tourist stuff. Warm weather, nice hiking, cheap cost of living, interesting wildlife. Lake Mead is really nice too.

Yeah, referring mostly to the strip. But even the areas immediately around it are gross.

Agree with the other stuff tho.

[ace3g]

another nice kick out by Simmons

[TheDoctor]

They have 2 & 3 (in that order)

Yup, this quarter alone.

[SPURt]

Eddie the new Bertans

[ace3g]

and another assist

[TXstbobcat]

Eddy33333333333333

[NASpurs]

you convinced me with warm weather. I live in Minnesota.

Warm summer weather in Vegas is like saying it's cool in the winter in Minnesota.

[r0drig0lac]

Eddie automatic

[Slime Baller]

It's actually pretty nice place to live if you get away from the tourist stuff. Warm weather, nice hiking, cheap cost of living, interesting wildlife. Lake Mead is really nice too.
I used to have a couple of business trips there each year for ~5 years. Off season mostly. I like the town. Last I read the housing market there tanked hard and shit was kinda dire.

[TXstbobcat]

Warm summer weather in Vegas is like saying it's cool in the winter in Minnesota.

i Grew up in Texas so the Minnesota winters are brutal for me.

[wildbill2u]

Eddie finally showing his shooting talent we heard about

[Keepin' it real]

Am I the only one who thinks KA resembles Steph Curry?

[SPURt]

Deron Williams not on the Mavs graphic because he's not good

[TheDoctor]

Eddie's on a run lately. Nice to see.

[raybies]

I hope Eddy at least gets a training camp inv. He's got a quick release and a smooth shot. If only he could play some D. Could be the next Danny.

[BatManu20]

:lol Who the fuck is the Bucks SL coach? Nigga is dressed like that midget kid that used to hang with Kid Rock circa 2001


:lol He's the former video coordinator for the Bucks. He's going the Spoelstra route to becoming an NBA coach. Kidd has said he thinks he will be one day.

[TXstbobcat]

Slomo!!!!!!!!!

[ace3g]

another assist for Simmons

[Axegrinder]

KA 3..nice

[TheDoctor]

Nice dime Simmons-Kyle!

[milkyway21]

Towns & J.Okafor playing in the Summer league , did Duncan play too after the draft?

[spursparker9]

Simmons is impressive

[wildbill2u]

Am I the only one who thinks KA resembles Steph Curry?

yes

[TheDoctor]

I hope Eddy at least gets a training camp inv. He's got a quick release and a smooth shot. If only he could play some D. Could be the next Danny.

What is his height?

[Mr. Body]

Towns & J.Okafor playing in the Summer league , did Duncan play too after the draft?

Yep.

[BillMc]

Warm summer weather in Vegas is like saying it's cool in the winter in Minnesota.
:lol

Yeah, I grew up outside Vegas. 110 degrees in July was pretty common.

[ace3g]

5 assists now for Simmons!!!

[Darkwaters]

I'd probably guess that Shannon Scott gets brought in for training camp. They'll probably want a PG for Austin and he'd probably be as good an option as any. Won't be getting his door banged down by European clubs and still has some upside. Definitely rough though...

Hes also helped by the fact that neither Casper Ware nor Will Cherry were impressive in the least. It's a total crap shoot, but someone probably comes in as a camp PG.

[raybies]

What is his height?

He's listed at 6'7''

[DPG21920]

Simmons with an excellent, decisive break

[ElNono]

bet they told Simmons to distribute... damn..

[TheDoctor]

He's listed at 6'7''

Perfect wing height tbh.

[Darkwaters]

Towns & J.Okafor playing in the Summer league , did Duncan play too after the draft?

You're not familiar with the Greg Ostertag mythology?

[DPG21920]

We got mini-Lebron!!! Stacked.

[Biggems]

how is vegas at night? is it still flippin hot or does it cool down quite a bit to a tolerable temperature?

[RD2191]

Tag team that lady ref and becky, tbh.

[Mugen]

Becky's exchange with that female ref got me a lil chubbs tbh.

[Darkwaters]

Still behind a few minutes....

Damn another 3 for Anderson? And 2 for Eddie?

Very nice.

[Darkwaters]

Still behind a few minutes....

Damn another 3 for Anderson? And 2 for Eddie?

Very nice.

[NASpurs]

Funny how Simmons has the tools that Anderson needs in this league.

[Slime Baller]

Simmons is looking like a total steal.

[BillMc]

We got mini-Lebron!!! Stacked.

:toast

[spursparker9]

Was Simmons drafted in previous draft?

[TheGreatYacht]

Sign Jarell Eddie, and call it an offseason :toast

[Biggems]

I wonder what number Frankenstein will wear.....I think 55 would suit him wonderfully

[TXstbobcat]

Was Simmons drafted in previous draft?

Undrafted

[BatManu20]

Bucks getting way too many easy points at the bucket.

[ChumpDumper]

how is vegas at night? is it still flippin hot or does it cool down quite a bit to a tolerable temperature?The old saying "It's a dry heat" really applies IMO. Desert 110 beats central Texas 100. Hydration is more important though.

Nights can be really decent. Often high 70s this time of year.

[TheDoctor]

Bertans bricking shots and getting torched in defense.

[ElNono]

everytime I flip the channel, somebody is scoring on Bertrans...

[Darkwaters]

Was Simmons drafted in previous draft?

Nope. Played 1 year at U of Houston. Not drafted. Only made the Toros on an open tryout.

[Darkwaters]

Was Simmons drafted in previous draft?

Nope. Played 1 year at U of Houston. Not drafted. Only made the Toros on an open tryout.

[BatManu20]

I wonder what number Frankenstein will wear.....I think 55 would suit him wonderfully

Likely #22, like in Europe. Slide right into Splitter's old diggs.

[TheDoctor]

Another Simmons assist.

[DPG21920]

Simmons energy and body movement remind me of Tony Allen

[r0drig0lac]

wow simmons

[TXstbobcat]

Simmons and 1!!!!!!!!!!

[ace3g]

Simmons!!!

[BatManu20]

And 1 for Simmons. I dig.

[steeledl]

Simmons AND 1 . Moving and found the gap. Nice.

[Biggems]

so what number will we give to Simmons, and Eddie too if we sign him......

[GreggPopAsnitch]

How many assists does Simmons have.. Jeez

[ElNono]

Simmons energy and body movement remind me of Tony Allen

yeah, there's a junkyard dog thing to him

[raybies]

Simmons energy and body movement remind me of Tony Allen

a three point shooting Allen?

[ducks]

Go Spurs go

[808]

Great off the ball movement

[SpursFan86]

Wow I'm quickly becoming a huge fan of Simmons

[BillMc]

Simmons energy and body movement remind me of Tony Allen
Thinking the same thing.

[Biggems]

Simmons energy and body movement remind me of Tony Allen

wouldn't it be an absolute dream if he could defend as well as allen

[RodNIc91]

Damn I resolución hope Simmons can keep this level of play

[NASpurs]

Simmons energy and body movement remind me of Tony Allen

I was thinking the same thing

[BillMc]

a three point shooting Allen?

That would be sweet, actually. :toast

[Spurs9]

Simmons really impressing the last 2 games.

[DPG21920]

a three point shooting Allen?

Ya - he's obviously much better on offense than TA - was speaking more to demeanor and activity.

[spursparker9]

Simmons look like a bit too lean. May be bulking up a bit is good for him

[steeledl]

Nope. Played 1 year at U of Houston. Not drafted. Only made the Toros on an open tryout.

Shit, I bet this dude was destroying rec games in the time between UH and the Toros.

[Slime Baller]

Simmons has a believer in me so far.

[RD2191]

I was thinking the same thing
I was thinking that you were thinking the same thing.

[RodNIc91]

Really*

[SPURt]

Simmons has looked really good, it's amazing seeing his impact compared to some of these more coveted draft picks. He's out 25, good stuff so far. I'm at least willing to say he's gonna give the Spurs more than Ayers.

[DPG21920]

Cement feet from Simmons there.

[TheDoctor]

Simmons seems tired. Get him a rest Becky!

[ElNono]

I was thinking that you were thinking the same thing.

sup roberto feliciano diaz?

[BillMc]

Was Simmons drafted in previous draft?

Someone said he dropped because he had some off the court issues. Anyone know how serious they were? Can't believe RC would give him a guaranteed contract unless those things were behind him.

[Darkwaters]

Shit, I bet this dude was destroying rec games in the time between UH and the Toros.

Word is that his game has improved tremendously in the last 2 years in Austin.

[NASpurs]

I was thinking that you were thinking the same thing.

:lol

[RD2191]

sup roberto feliciano diaz?
Lmao, feliciano. Just chillin. Packing.

[NASpurs]

Getting booed :lol

[SPURt]

Scott getting booed lol

[spursparker9]

Someone said he dropped because he had some off the court issues. Anyone know how serious they were? Can't believe RC would give him a guaranteed contract unless those things were behind him.

Well, heard that Neal had some rape issue and he was given a contract

[Slime Baller]

I live in Georgetown and need to start hitting more dleague games. Went to a few last year.

I just wish they had a nice snapback. Their merch is dire.

[TheDoctor]

Davies gonna injure one of those kids.

[Darkwaters]

Well, heard that Neal had some rape issue and he was given a contract

Very good point. And he was a model citizen in San Antonio as far as I've heard.

[Biggems]

what a great flop by randle. Davies was barely moving and one got a little bit of him

[RD2191]

Lol slomo

[Mugen]

Kyle Harden tbh

[Slime Baller]

Rape issue? YIKES. Never heard that. Googling.

[ChumpDumper]

Someone said he dropped because he had some off the court issues. Anyone know how serious they were? Can't believe RC would give him a guaranteed contract unless those things were behind him.He's played 100 games for the farm team. He is a known quantity.

[Biggems]

Anderson getting some Harden love from the refs this game......living on the line

[spursparker9]

Kyle Harden tbh

:lol

[Darkwaters]

Rape issue? YIKES. Never heard that. Googling.

Unsubstantiated. Although he did transfer schools as a result.

[r0drig0lac]

KA going to the line as Harden..and simmons as Maggette

[GreggPopAsnitch]

KA, and Simmons solidifying their spots.

[TheDoctor]

Davies playing this summer league like he's running some NFL workout.

[RD2191]

Rape issue? YIKES. Never heard that. Googling.
Who?

[BillMc]

Well, heard that Neal had some rape issue and he was given a contract

Yeah, you're absolutely right, and that's what I'm talking about. Spurs did serious background and several interviews with Gary to make sure the past was really behind him.

[808]

KA 8-9 ft's

[RD2191]

So simmons, neal, and kobe walk into a bar...

[Richie]

Really liked Inglis in the draft last year and think he's looked good for Milwaukee in this game

[TXstbobcat]

Unsubstantiated. Although he did transfer schools as a result.

I think he transferred To townsend because of it.

[808]

10-11

[TXstbobcat]

Simmons!!!!!

[Slime Baller]

Simmons remaining golden.

[steeledl]

Simmons is showing some serious versatility.

[SpursFan86]

Was that MJ or Jonathan Simmons? :wow

[Axegrinder]

I think he transferred To townsend because of it.Towson?

[TXstbobcat]

Towson?

Sorry, misspelled it.

[Biggems]

soft touch by davies on that jumper

[SPURt]

Blackshear... More like Blackhole

[Axegrinder]

Sorry, misspelled it.figured..aint no thang

[steeledl]

Wonder if those other scrubs were intentionally freezing Simmons out of the offense trying to get their shine.

[BatManu20]

Graham with an apparent right knee injury.

[Biggems]

dammit blindshear, there were 2 guys open to pass it to

[milkyway21]

If the Spurs will choke & lose again tonight I won't eat pizza anymore :hungry:

[RD2191]

If the Spurs will choke & lose again tonight I won't eat pizza anymore :hungry:
I eat pizza like 3 times a week so I could never make that promise.

[Russ]

Cherry is a ballhog.

[SPURt]

Is there a clear the bench in summer league or is that the starting point of these games?

[Slime Baller]

If the Spurs will choke & lose again tonight I won't eat pizza anymore :hungry:
Don't make bets your stomach can't cash. Nothing is worth losing pizza over.

[Axegrinder]

If the Spurs will choke & lose again tonight I won't eat pizza anymore :hungry:NEVER blame the Pizza bro

[ducks]

Cherry is a ballhog.

Bench the sob

[BillMc]

Yeah I live here. It is nice and cheap. Miss Whataburger though
:toast Cheers man, hope you enjoy it. For burgers, find Five Guys. It's great!

[ace3g]

RC interview

[Axegrinder]

RC da man

[Russ]

Come on RC talk about Boban.

[DPG21920]

Wondering if RC will discuss Boban, Simmons and or other plans for last two spots

[ace3g]

RC just said David West ...confirmed!!!

[TXstbobcat]

RC Buford!!! :king Of GMs

[BillMc]

Love how RC is more interested in evaluating players in the game than chatting in this interview.

[Russ]

Get KA off the court . . .

[BillMc]

RC da man
+1 billion

[milkyway21]

I eat pizza like 3 times a week so I could never make that promise.

It's just ridiculous, they lead in the 3qtr in most games then lost in the end..I just eat more right now.. :lol

[BillMc]

RC Buford!!! :king Of GMs
:toast

[steeledl]

They wont pas the ball to Simmons. :(

[ChumpDumper]

I think it's safe to say Eddie found the range.

[ace3g]

These NBATV guys probably don't even know about the Boban signing yet

[Kurik]

KA got banged up a little, didn't look too serious though.

[Slime Baller]

RC Buford!!! :king Of GMs
Boris Diaw wine GIF goes here.

[Russ]

Simmons stayed with the play

[RD2191]

It's just ridiculous, they lead in the 3qtr in most games then lost in the end..I just eat more right now.. :lol
:lol

[ace3g]

nice recover chase down block by Simmons

[Shipupi]

Simmons with the block!

[DPG21920]

Simmons with the Green track down block

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Just tuned in, how has Simmons looked?

[Axegrinder]

wow

[steeledl]

Just tuned in, how has Simmons looked?

We still love him. Looks like a playmaker again.

[TheDoctor]

Just tuned in, how has Simmons looked?

Really good tbh.

[spursparker9]

Just tuned in, how has Simmons looked?

Probably the most athletic Spur since James Flight White

[duncan2150]

really nice block by simmons

[BatManu20]

That block by Simmons as great. He's the Spurs' best athlete already. Even better than Kawhi, imo. Definitely has a higher vertical than Kiwi.

[milkyway21]

RC is classy. Easily a candidate for another award in June for his FA recruitment this yr

[Shipupi]

Come on! Ask RC about Bobi

[NASpurs]

Royal Crown Buford

[TXstbobcat]

RC very humble. Giving the credit to everyone else in the organization for the great off season.

[SpursFan86]

Simmons hit that 3 right after the whistle :tu

[RD2191]

Fuck yeah. Parker isn't going to play all 82.

[TheDoctor]

Over/Under Barry asking RC's about Tony's affair with Erin?

[raybies]

please ask about simmons.

[Russ]

Not a word about Boban!

[SPURt]

RC saying Ray can run a team better than CoJo, wow

[ChumpDumper]

Over/Under Barry asking RC's about Tony's affair with Erin?How would that be an over/under bet?

[Mugen]

RC is such a OG Nigga tbh

:lol

[DPG21920]

RC seems to be really high on Ray. High praise about what he would have been worth if he were a FA & even talking about trusting him enough to run him out and poss start.

[milkyway21]

.RC: Ray McCallum > CoJo?

[ceperez]

RC saying Ray can run a team better than CoJo, wow

Yup... I got that. That's great to hear.

I don't think CoJo ever knew how to run the offense.

[Russ]

RC saying Ray can run a team better than CoJo, wow

I think he said at the same stage.

[NASpurs]

Not a word about Boban!

I don't even think Brent or the other guy know about Monster

[Shipupi]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW

[SpursFan86]

Simmons :wow

[Mugen]

:wow HOLY FUCK SIMMONS

[ace3g]

espn top 10!!!

[r0drig0lac]

slam!!!!

[SPURt]

Damn Simmons!!!

[RD2191]

Simmmmmmmmmmmmmoooonnnsssss

[TheDoctor]

SIMMONS!!!!

[TXstbobcat]

Holy shit!!!!!!! Simmons slam!!!!!!!

[steeledl]

lmfao. Simmons going to be a lot of fun this year.

[DPG21920]

Oh.My.Goodness.Oh.My.Damn.

[BillMc]

Simmons!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!

[Slime Baller]

I was flippin' shit on the grill--what did Simmons do there?

[Russ]

Maybe the Spurs will have Slam Dunk contestant this year.

[Biggems]

nice slam JS

[duncan2150]

wow that dunk from simmons

[RD2191]

Hell yeah! Congrats Becky!

[Shipupi]

Simmons trolling everyone with that layup

[ace3g]

and then the tease layup lol

[exstatic]

Hammer time!!!!!

[spursparker9]

Maybe the Spurs will have Slam Dunk contestant this year.

Would be nice.

But Lavine will be able to defend his title

[TheDoctor]

RC's face after J.Simmons dunk:
http://i1185.photobucket.com/albums/z357/GYR0MEISTER/Image.jpg

[Biggems]

Congrats to Becky

[BillMc]

Man, I don't want anyone on out team on the inactive list. :lol

[exstatic]

I was flippin' shit on the grill--what did Simmons do there?

Ridiculous hammer slam down the lane into traffic.

[TXstbobcat]

Congratulations Becky!!!!!!! :flag:

[BatManu20]

Simmons stealing the show yet again. Sign that man.

[808]

Fuckin Simmons

[BillMc]

Congrats Becky!

[NASpurs]

I never saw the fucking replay

[r0drig0lac]

Scott with 8/7/7/5

[Axegrinder]

Big two played well

[NASpurs]

Please no closeups on Kyle

[random21]

Congrats Becky! Great job today!

[Russ]

48 minutes?????

(Well, he did go to UCLA.)

[steeledl]

I know it is just summer league but Simmons really looks like he has the skills and athleticism to be a rotation player THIS YEAR.

[ceperez]

Simmons energy and body movement remind me of Tony Allen

If he works as hard as Tony on his defense, he'll be a total steal!

[GreggPopAsnitch]

Okay nothing bad to say about today's game. #AndersonSimmonsEddie

[milkyway21]

thank God, I can still eat pizza... :lol. .:hungry:

[BatManu20]

Groundbreaking moment by Becky :cry


Glad we got that W though.

[NASpurs]

Ok just saw the dunk at the end :lol

[exstatic]

Simmons stealing the show yet again. Sign that man.

Not keeping up with current events, are you?

[Mr. Body]

Maybe the Spurs will have Slam Dunk contestant this year.

Spurs would void his contract.

[loveforthegame]

Congrats to Becky. :tu

Simmons continues to impress. Just wow.

[BillMc]

thank God, I can still eat pizza... :lol. .:hungry:
:lol

[RD2191]

Man, slomo has had the quietest back to back 20 pt games in basketball history.:lol

[ceperez]

Jarrel Eddie for the vet. minimum ... $500k and Spurs should be done!

[TheGoldStandard]

Simmons doing a little bit of everything, letting the game come to him.

[exstatic]

Jarrel Eddie for the vet. minimum ... $500k and Spurs should be done!

No. He really has no NBA skill except spot up shooting.

[Mugen]

that Jonathan Simmons dunk is what Kawhi on Birdman in the Finals woulda been if it dropped. Good god, that was ridiculous tbh.

[Chinook]

No. He really has no NBA skill except spot up shooting.

And it's just one game. Bertans was the darling after Game One. I like Graham over him for a camp invite, but neither would make the big club.

[BatManu20]

620389820607508480

[BillMc]

Feel much better about KA after these last two games.... And Simmons looks like a solid signing indeed.

[ceperez]

No. He really has no NBA skill except spot up shooting.

Sounds like Belinelli to me!

[TheDoctor]

that Jonathan Simmons dunk is what Kawhi on Birdman in the Finals woulda been if it dropped. Good god, that was ridiculous tbh.

Yeah, good comparison. :toast

Humor isn't for everyone apparently. You should check out who made the Spurs sign Simmons thread.

Love that pic

[TheDoctor]

And it's just one game. Bertans was the darling after Game One. I like Graham over him for a camp invite, but neither would make the big club.

Well, let's check first if Graham is OK. Hope that injury is nothing serious.

[ceperez]

Spurs would void his contract.

Joining the Slam Dunk contests is grounds for voiding a Spurs contract.

[Kurik]

Bertans getting married today apparently :lol


620391130673233920

620390542451437568

Yikes! So with all the blow out games the Spurs expecting this year, we'll see more than a few of these in garbage time?

[ceperez]

Bertans getting married today apparently :lol


620391130673233920

I told you that he was pretty much done.

Kawhi drops that, instant first-degree murder.

BEST WISHES!!

[NASpurs]

Bertans getting married today apparently :lol


620391130673233920

Probably explains why he started to suck. Is he getting married in Vegas? :lol
