Wanna see Simmons starting and checking Vaughn the whole time. His chance at unseating Anderson for that last rotation spot relies on him being able to be an above-average defender. He could also stand to shoot more.

[SpursFan86]

Wanna see Simmons starting and checking Vaughn the whole time. His chance at unseating Anderson for that last rotation spot relies on him being able to be an above-average defender. He could also stand to shoot more.

I think he will start. I'd guess the only reason he didn't start yesterday was because he joined the team so late.

[ace3g]

Hammon chips away at barrier by leading SpursIt was almost as if the basketball gods were unsure and skeptical about this whole idea of a woman coaching an NBA game. Why else would the gods give Becky Hammon the ball in the final 25 seconds against the Knicks with her team down three points in her NBA head coaching debut in the Summer League?

That meant Hammon had to prove herself pronto. She had to draw up an important play for the Spurs while everyone surely watched intently, no different than needing to perform an emergency root canal on your first day out of dental school.

[BatManu20]

Yea I'd be pretty surprised if Simmons didn't start this game. I want to see him shoot it a bit more as well. He shot it at a 40% clip from 3 last year in Austin so he obviously has the ability. Let it fly man.

[GreggPopAsnitch]

Is it possible that KA and Simms can both make the roster?

[ace3g]

The main thing I liked about Simmons' game last night, he knows he has the ability to get to the rim whenever (at least against this competition) but doesn't get over aggressive and will pass to the open man. Looks to be a legit 6'6 - 6'7 and can put up decent rebound numbers as well.

[SpursFan86]

Is it possible that KA and Simms can both make the roster?

Yes, and it's pretty likely that ends up being the case.

[GreggPopAsnitch]

Yes, and it's pretty likely that ends up being the case.


okay thanks because some people made it seem otherwise.

[Mr. Body]

I expect Simmons to score 10,000 points. At minimum.

[SpursFan86]

okay thanks because some people made it seem otherwise.

If you're referring to how some people are talking about them competing against each other, they're probably just referring to the backup SF spot. They'll most likely both be on the team this season, but who gets those backup 3 minutes will depend on who proves to be the most capable.

[ace3g]

It will be interesting to see what type of energy he comes out with tonight, considering it is a B2B.

[TXstbobcat]

okay thanks because some people made it seem otherwise.

The 1st year of Simmons contract is fully guaranteed but it wouldn't cost that much to release him during the season if he doesn't workout or if the Spurs want to go after a player that another team buys out.

[Nathan89]

Simmons will be higher up on the roster than KA. Simmons is better at threes and more athletic so he can do quick straight line drives at the very least. Although in the first game he showed potential to be more than a straight line driver vs shifting defenses.

[wildbill2u]

Simmons' biggest edge may turn out to be his defense and energy.

[Darkwaters]

If you're referring to how some people are talking about them competing against each other, they're probably just referring to the backup SF spot. They'll most likely both be on the team this season, but who gets those backup 3 minutes will depend on who proves to be the most capable.

The designation of "Backup 3" or "Backup 2" isn't really all that significant. The Spurs tend to just look at them all as "wings" that are largely interchangeable. Now obviously, if a player like Patty Mills is playing some on the wing they'll usually try to pair him with another larger wing. But for the most it more comes down to the questions or "which two are starting?" and then "who is first off the bench? Second? Third?"

The way the roster is structured right now the two starters are obviously Leonard and Green. The first wing off the bench is Ginobili. So what we're talking about is a competition for the 4th wing rotation spot, AKA the 2nd wing off the bench.

The Spurs rotation doesn't typically require a routine 3rd wing off the bench (ie, the 5th wing) to play. That player will more likely than not only get time during garbage minutes or major blowouts. So the difference between the 4th and 5th wing is really the difference between being in the regular rotation or outside of it completely. Thats what Simmons and Anderson are probably fighting over. A fringe spot in the rotation for anywhere between 5-15 minutes nightly or a dedicated spot on the bench (oh, and lots of practice in Patty Mills' diverse set of towel waves).

[Vic Petro]

I think the confusion is stemming from the difference between roster and rotation. They'll both be on the roster but are probably battling for one spot in the full-strength rotation.

[BillMc]

Let's get Becky that first W, tbh.

yeah, those look awesome

[RLT]

Let's see if Simmons can continue to impress.

[BillMc]

I am definitely.

Would some be kind enough to PM a stream to this game? Can't seem to find it.

I pick my spots, I make memorable cameo roles rather than leading and/or supporting.

reddit nbastreams was the link here. Pretty easy to find.

try these . usually you can find good ones in there.

Cheers man. :toastBut you need to send the link as a PM, the mods don't like stream links in the threads. I don't want you to get in trouble.

[steeledl]

Oh my bad, I mean technically it is a link to another site which links streams but ill delete it.

[Slime Baller]

Becky Hammon coaching SL is pretty rad. Kinda crazy to think she's the first. It seems like something that would have happened by now.

[ace3g]

Barry!!!

[SPURt]

Hopefully they include more Spurs related stuff during the commentary. I had to sit through Walt Frazier last game. It's like listening to Dr. Seuss call a game. Actually, Dr. Seuss might have more informative basketball takes.

[ace3g]

Cady, Eddie, Davies, Kyle, Scott

[Mugen]

What kind of garbage ass starting lineup is this ....

[DPG21920]

The hell is this starting lineup?

[SpursFan86]

Simmons not starting :pctoss

[Slime Baller]

Simons not in starting lineup

[BillMc]

Oh my bad, I mean technically it is a link to another site which links streams but ill delete it.

Using it now. Thanks for the help, my friend.:toast

[ace3g]

Although he missed the shot, I still think Kyle should get more looks in the post.

[raybies]

I like that they are trying Cady at the pf spot.

[ace3g]

Eddie is no Simmons...clearly

[steeledl]

Becky wants us to start out in a hole w/ this lineup.

[raybies]

Although he missed the shot, I still think Kyle should get more looks in the post.

bank lol

[SpursFan86]

Although he missed the shot, I still think Kyle should get more looks in the post.

That's where he did most of his work in that game vs. Portland IIRC. He has the size to take advantage of basically any PG/SG that gets put on him.

[Mugen]

i bought the 5$ summer league pass. its not working :cry

ballstreams tbh. even for the regular season. Trust homie.

[ace3g]

[Mugen]

Man, I love Bones. Fuckin' Porky tbh.

SIMMONS IN. DWADE 2.0.

[raybies]

if we had a decent pg, on this squad, we might be pretty good.

[ace3g]

Simmons!!!

Want Simmons!:hungry:

[SPURt]

Exactly

[ace3g]

already drew a foul!!!

[TXstbobcat]

Simmons goin to the line

[steeledl]

My dude knows how to get to the line.

[ace3g]

and they are using him as PG

[MeloHype]

Simmons already a legend

[Slime Baller]

That's what I use too.

Simmons the man, Anderson the Caitlyn. :lol :bobo

Wonder how many dudes in the Spurs organization have smashed on Becky

I don't think Becky would be interested to be fair.

[Mugen]

offense is absolute garbage right now

[SPURt]

Ew

[ceperez]

Bertans can't play in this league. He's pretty much done.

[steeledl]

These dudes fucking suck at passing

[TXstbobcat]

Bertrans333333333333333

[Biggems]

Davies brought some nice energy to start the game

[ace3g]

tried to run the lob for Simmons, got caught up in screens

[r0drig0lac]

what a block

[SPURt]

Bayless and Kidd looking like a couple.

[Darkwaters]

What a great block from Jean-Charles!

Oh, and Bertans made a 3. Haven't seen that in a while.

[Biggems]

what is with this one on five BS on offense? that isn't spurs basketball

[steeledl]

Wish Jean Charles had offense cause I love the way he plays D. Can't see him getting minutes in the league though unless his skill level goes way up on offense

[BatManu20]

Offense is strugg-a-ling.

[BatManu20]

what is with this one on five BS on offense? that isn't spurs basketball

#FireBecky tbh.

[Biggems]

Simmons and Anderson are black holes on offense

[Shipupi]

Becky: Form a fucking wall

[Biggems]

how was that a non-shooting foul?

[Beaverfuzz]

I don't think Becky would be interested to be fair.

You'd be correct, NTTAWWT.

[Mugen]

The diff in level of play between the NBA and Summer League is just insane tbh :lol

Really puts in perspective how ridiculous NBA players are.....

[Shipupi]

how was that a non-shooting foul?
It wasn't even a foul, just a turnover. Missed by commentator

[Darkwaters]

Nice block by Atkins.

He also had one of the most acrobatic out of bounds saves I've ever seen at the very beginning of the game. I've been trying to figure out who it was and just figure out it was Atkins.

[SPURt]

27% from the field, go Spurs go?

[raybies]

"form a wall"

Yeah, kind of embarrassing to let her coach summer league. Gimmicky PR shit is all it is.

[Darkwaters]

11 point quarter.

Those rims are playing great defense.

:lol You'd rather have LJC and f'n Jerrell Eddie shoot?

[ChumpDumper]

Yeah, kind of embarrassing to let her coach summer league. Gimmicky PR shit is all it is.Why do you say that?

[Darkwaters]

I saw that one, was wondering who it was too but didn't care enough to look it up

Yea, he was able to like plant one foot in bounds and make a pass to Simmons as he fell backwards.

[Shipupi]

Slomo needs to bulk up... couldn't even back up that scrub

[TXstbobcat]

Slomo and 1!!!!!

[TXstbobcat]

This is going to be a 45 minute interview with Kidd

[steeledl]

Why do you say that?

She will never coach in the league and will never be qualified to coach in the league. A group of grown men aren't going to want to play for a woman. Really a dis-service to the other top assistants.

It is like giving college degrees do kids with downs; it is just done as a feel good stunt for the media.

[RodNIc91]

I agree, women should stay barefoot, pregnant, and in the kitchen!

I wonder if J-Kidd's mongoloid son ever grew into his head.

[SpursFan86]

KA has been getting people on those pump fakes all SL

[TheDoctor]

Fathead has a nice pump-fake.

[Slime Baller]

Anderson has pretty consistently pump faked and jumped into the defender to draw the foul, yup.

[Chinook]

Anderson is not a post player.

[TheDoctor]

Yup, do not grab the rebound. That's not important.

[Shipupi]

Anderson is not a post player.
He's posted up 3 times so far this game and bricked 1 shot, airballed 1 , and kicked back the 3rd one

[Biggems]

man we are such poor rebounders.

[ChumpDumper]

She will never coach in the league and will never be qualified to coach in the league. A group of grown men aren't going to want to play for a woman. Really a dis-service to the other top assistants.You are projecting your views on other people. Grown men probably think differently than you.

she has forgotten more about the game of basketball than you have ever known

[Slime Baller]

Implying that a man could never work under a woman's leadership is just about as bad, Steel. One way trip to ignore town.

[wildbill2u]

We've all seen better pickup games than this. Showing little individual skills and no concept of a team game.

[steeledl]

You are projecting your views on other people. Grown men probably think differently than you.

I am a grown man and you are wrong. Grown men are pragmatic.

[BatManu20]

Cady has no touch around the basket, tbh.

[SpursFan86]

That pass by Simmons was beautiful

[ChumpDumper]

I am a grown man and you are wrong. Grown men are pragmatic.Yes, pragmatic men wouldn't give a shit. You're an insecure little boy.

[Biggems]

nice offensive possession, Cady just missed the wide open 3

[steeledl]

she has forgotten more about the game of basketball than you have ever known

I'd fucking hope so... considering she does this for a living. Doesn't change anything I said though.

[Shipupi]

Oh man I missed last game but I'm not liking Simmons

[SPURt]

You are projecting your views on other people. Grown men probably think differently than you.
Seriously, these players care so much about their brand, they wouldn't want to be the guy to be a locker room cancer over some sexist-ish if they were capable of being that immature. I'm pretty sure guys like Duncan and Ginobili wouldn't show less respect to a female because of gender. The first female coach may be able to make it an advantage .

[Biggems]

I really like what I see out of Davies so far......he is the type of hustle guy you want at the end of your bench.

[steeledl]

Fuck Anderson sucks.

[BillMc]

KA is clearly very smart, just wonder if he's got the athleticism to stick at the highest level...

[Mugen]

Watching this is making me wish for the NFL season to start tbh.

[SPURt]

Barry on Anderson "His next blow by will be his first" lol

[Slime Baller]

That pass by Simmons was beautiful

That whole sequence was nice.

[ElNono]

Simmons defense is fantastic... very good awareness, excellent footwork... gambles a bit, but nothing that's not correctable...

[TXstbobcat]

Simmons33333333333333

[BatManu20]

There you go Simmons.

[DPG21920]

Simmons has done really well - especially on Vaughn which is a good sign.

[TheDoctor]

Summer Spurs' offense:

http://images.inmagine.com/400nwm/iris/masterfile-187/ptg00653312.jpg

[Robz4000]

Simmons is the shit

[ace3g]

Simmons for 3 , and his length shows on defense, fell asleep a bit, his man cut behind him to the basket, Simmons was still able to intercept pass.

[BatManu20]

Simmons has a Brent Barry-esque 3-point set shot.

[Biggems]

Anderson looks like Reggie Miller, if he had his skills stolen by the Space Jam aliens.

[808]

Nice two man game with Simmons and Anderson

[Slime Baller]

Simmons making this game a little fun to watch. Kyle still looks as slow as ever. It's a shame, because there's a lot to like about what he does. He just does it at 60% throttle.

[TheMulletMan3000]

Simmons is the shit

[SPURt]

Anderson can't buy a bucket, easy shot after easy shot clanking. Not his night so far

[TheDoctor]

I really like what I see out of Davies so far......he is the type of hustle guy you want at the end of your bench.

Wut? He sucks dude. The only thing he do well is setting illegal screens.

[SPURt]

Lance Stephenson looks like he needs a helmet when he's not on the court

[TXstbobcat]

Slomo!!! Nice!!!!!

[Slime Baller]

Lance Stephenson looks like he needs a helmet when he's not on the court
Accurate.

[steeledl]

Yes, pragmatic men wouldn't give a shit. You're an insecure little boy.

No you are just oblivious.

Simmons showing a lot these past 2 games...

[ElNono]

Odds Lance Stephenson blows an entire year's worth of salary this weekend in Vegas?

[Shipupi]

Dat behind the back by gutierrez was beautiful

[Slime Baller]

Left Simmons pretty open there.

[Mugen]

Simmons defense is fantastic... very good awareness, excellent footwork... gambles a bit, but nothing that's not correctable...

His offball D is terrific too. Just watching him on D and he understands the concepts tbh. He ain't out there pulling a Kirby/Harden....

[ChumpDumper]

No you are just oblivious.You are just intimidated by women.

[Biggems]

Wut? He sucks dude. The only thing he do well is setting illegal screens.

he has been hustling and getting to lots of loose balls. He isn't afraid to throw his body around

[DPG21920]

Anderson gets to the line a lot.

[808]

I still like the fact that KA's shots are very high percentage. His pump fake is Manu-esque in that it is quite slow and exaggerated but always gets the defender to bite.

[Darkwaters]

I'm about 5 minutes behind the main broadcast (paused for dinner) but I'm trying to catch up.

It's good to see Kyle Anderson make some shots early (including a 3 that was probably some BS...but I won't argue with the points!). Hes definitely got that lean-in working that lets him draw a lot of fouls. Very nice to see some positives from last game carried over.

That being said, his handle is not nearly as good as he thinks it is. His second turnover was totally unforced. Hes just a weak ball handler and he lost it.

[Shipupi]

S3mm3ns

[BillMc]

Anderson gets to the line a lot.

Yeah, he's really got a skill at drawing fouls.

[myhc]

You are just intimidated by women.

I bet he also hated the new Mad Max because Charlize Theron was the main character.

[SpursFan86]

Simmons seems to have some surprisingly impressive court vision

[BatManu20]

KA, for how slow he is, finds a way to get to the FT line a lot. He's almost deceptively/effectively slow at times.

[ace3g]

^ would really like to see Simmons passing ability on the big team.

[DPG21920]

Dude, Simmons is bringing the ball up again and delivering crisp passes.

[Slime Baller]

Anderson gets to the line a lot.
He's consistently made defenders jump on his fake and lean in. Draws a lot of contact. Was he doing that last year? I went to a few Dleague games, but I don't remember that.

[ChumpDumper]

I bet he also hated the new Mad Max because Charlize Theron was the main character.Boycotting the new Ghostbusters.

[SPURt]

Well, Becky is definitely the better coach of these 2 coaches

[Slime Baller]

Not to get too OT, but Mad Max was amazing.

[DPG21920]

If Simmons can continue to improve there it raises his ceiling offensively. If his 3PT shot is legit and he's competent at putting the ball on the floor to finish or pass out, :tu

[Shipupi]

KA doing the pump fake D.Wade signature move bullshit, hope rules get changed to stop that shit

[ChumpDumper]

Dude, Simmons is bringing the ball up again and delivering crisp passes.He did that more than a few times in Austin when point guards were scarce for one reason or another.

[SPURt]

Not to get too OT, but Mad Max was amazing.
Yes, yes it was

[DPG21920]

He's consistently made defenders jump on his fake and lean in. Draws a lot of contact. Was he doing that last year? I went to a few Dleague games, but I don't remember that.

Ya - getting to the FT line was pretty common for him.

[raybies]

that coach lol

[TXstbobcat]

Bucks summer league coach looks like he is a college kid.

[Mr. Body]

She will never coach in the league and will never be qualified to coach in the league. A group of grown men aren't going to want to play for a woman. Really a dis-service to the other top assistants.

It is like giving college degrees do kids with downs; it is just done as a feel good stunt for the media.

Take off your fedora and come upstairs; dinner's ready.

[TheMulletMan3000]

Boycotting the new Ghostbusters.

:lol

[Biggems]

Boycotting the new Ghostbusters.

why? that one fat lady is pretty friggin funny. she is one of the better comedians out there these days. I'd love to see her do a movie and share the lead with kevin hart.

[steeledl]

You are just intimidated by women.

Yes, the classic feminist argument. "If you don't agree with me you are intimidated by me." Done with you.

[Trill Clinton]

not a bad half from slowmo and jon jon da don

[Kurik]

The defense on Vaughn was very good.

[raybies]

she's not funny

[Beaverfuzz]

what is with this one on five BS on offense? that isn't spurs basketball

And just about all of these guys aren't Spurs basketball players. It's fucking summer league.

[TXstbobcat]

Nice 2nd quarter for the Spurs after only scoring 11 in the 1st.

[DPG21920]

Make or miss, KA (against this comp) doesn't seem to have any issues getting his shot off. He needs to get his legs under him a little more (a lot seem to fall short), but he gets to where he needs to be and seems to be able to put up points.

[Chinook]

Anderson is playing like he needs to: forcing contact, going through guys and over guys instead of trying to go around them. He just needs to do more of that and get his midrange shooting to be at near-elite levels.

[raybies]

So far Slomo has a couple NBA skills so far: rebounding and getting to the line. Now if he can just hit open threes or attack the closeout he could be a serviceable backup for Kawhi. I also like his effort on D. Very encouraging.

[SPURt]

I like KA's game. He'll likely go for 20 again tonight and he is missing bunnies. There is something to be said for players that can mix up their foot work and release in abstract ways. I have the same defensive concerns as most, but he does have length.

[steeledl]

Simmons looks really good again tbh. Not in the same way as last time but he obviously is a playmaker and that is exactly what we need.


When he has talent around him the floor will really open up

[look_at_g_shred]

Nasty block from LJC

[Chinook]

Make or miss, KA (against this comp) doesn't seem to have any issues getting his shot off. He needs to get his legs under him a little more (a lot seem to fall short), but he gets to where he needs to be and seems to be able to put up points.

Exactly. His ability to score after contact is really valuable to his long-term prospects. He's not going to create a ton of space, so getting consistent from the high post would be great.

[GreggPopAsnitch]

Okay Simmons needs to get buckets now, he's proved everything else this game tbh.

[Mugen]

KA doing what he's supposed to do. His length on D has been underrated by Spurfan as well.

Agree that he needs to be a knockdown shooter from the midrange J if he's gonna stick in this league.

[DPG21920]

I'm getting excited about Simmons. I really hope he's a regular on the active roster. My guess is Spurs only carry 14 spots for the majority of the year and that means only 1 inactive.

[raybies]

Yeah and his stepback has looked pretty effective as well.

[TheDoctor]

AT least Kyle's showing some really matured moves and getting to the line effectively. That pump-fake is killing SL players.

[Darkwaters]

Anderson is playing like he needs to: forcing contact, going through guys and over guys instead of trying to go around them. He just needs to do more of that and get his midrange shooting to be at near-elite levels.

I definitely see what you've been saying. I definitely think thats his strength and what he needs to build up. He'll never be confused with a slasher or a post-up threat. But if he can get a 3 and some solid mid-range stuff going (along with a continued strong effort at the FT line) then he'll be relevant.

That being said, he really needs to dial in his handle. He breaks a lot of plays or gives up sloppy TO's because of it. Every game.

[Mugen]

Man, I miss Vegas. An absolutely disgusting city between 5am - Midnight...but just fun as fuck the rest of the time tbh.

[ohmwrecker]

Yes, the classic feminist argument. "If you don't agree with me you are intimidated by me." Done with you.

You're a fucking idiot.

[Biggems]

If KA can add 10-15 lbs of upper body muscle, it should make his post up game quite a bit more effective

[Keepin' it real]

Is it pronounced "MalkoviCH" or "MalkoviCK"?

[raybies]

For as slow as Kyle is, his length might be his saving grace on the next level.

[Mugen]

Tp/Patty/Ray
Green/Manu/Simmons
Kawhi/KA
LMA/Boris/BonBon
Timmy/West/Monster

That's a f'nroster right there tbh.

[TheMulletMan3000]

You're a fucking idiot.

agree

[Biggems]

I believe ick

[NASpurs]

If KA can add 10-15 lbs of upper body muscle, it should make his post up game quite a bit more effective

He would be approaching 250 by then. Could probably play PF.

[Axegrinder]

Yes, the classic feminist argument. "If you don't agree with me you are intimidated by me." Done with you.Is that you grandpa?

[BillMc]

Man, I miss Vegas. An absolutely disgusting city between 5am - Midnight...but just fun as fuck the rest of the time tbh.

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.

[Axegrinder]

agreeSo do we all

[BillMc]

KA really needs to lose that beard

[DPG21920]

It's amazing how many shots come up short for KA this game

[steeledl]

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 I live here. It is nice and cheap. Miss Whataburger though

[ChumpDumper]

Yes, the classic feminist argument. "If you don't agree with me you are intimidated by me."The classic he-man "run away from anything resembling an actual discussion" tactic.
Done with you.:cry

[Mugen]

: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

[TXstbobcat]

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

[wildbill2u]

If KA can add 10-15 lbs of upper body muscle, it should make his post up game quite a bit more effective

And he'll probably get a little speed boost from carrying around the extra pounds.

[TheDoctor]

Between Cady and Davies there are about 18 fouls already.
