Game Thread: Spurs vs. Celtics - 3PM Central/11 Riga Time

[toki9]

I'm kind of surprised at how successfully KA draws fouls. He gets a lot of calls.

[BillMc]

Kyle's go to move - drawing fouls.

[Axegrinder]

hawks

[cjw]

Meanwhile the guy that made Bill Simmons scream like a girl during the draft just ended the Celtics' summer league

[ElNono]

wtf, I thought this game was at 6:30 PM ET? :pctoss

[KDKSpurs24]

I'm kind of surprised at how successfully KA draws fouls. He gets a lot of calls.
KA = KD

[Vokun]

Kyle's go to move - drawing fouls.
Works for Harden TBH

[Cloud786]

3 shots right

[silverblackfan]

It is pretty uncanny how fast he is learning to play like some old school veteran with moves like that. :lol

[TheDoctor]

If Summers win this game, they'll play the winner of DAL vs ATL game.

[ace3g]

uh oh

[FlAVaK]

wtf, I thought this game was at 6:30 PM ET? :pctoss

:(

[heyheymymy]

[SpursFan86]

Looks like KA is the Manu replacement after all :lol

[BatManu20]

KA choking at the FT line.. Yep, he's a Spur :lol

[KDKSpurs24]

That was a really good play that Becky drew up because of the back cut by Anderson but it was defended surprisingly well! But Scott saves the day!!!

[heyheymymy]

HELL YEAH. glad i hung around to watch this stream fucking awesome finish

[myhc]

AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! YES!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BatManu20]

We play the winner of the Mavs vs Hawks game.

[silverblackfan]

Fun game!

[BillMc]

Works for Harden TBH

Absolutely.

[Cloud786]

What are we doing coach?
18 foot floater by Scott

[Vokun]

Is this a foreshadow for things to come next year?

[heyheymymy]

That was a really good play that Becky drew up because of the back cut by Anderson but it was defended surprisingly well! But Scott saves the day!!!

Good call, CIA BECKY

[Chinook]

Eddie, Simmons and Anderson to SA. Graham, Ndoye and Scott to Austin.

[Cloud786]

Did she call him Shane?

[silverblackfan]

Becky gets to the semis.

[heyheymymy]

SLSF GO SPURS GO!

[TXstbobcat]

Did she call him Shane?

The same chick that called Simmons Jordan Simmons. :lmao

[FlAVaK]

Eddie, Simmons and Anderson to SA. Graham, Ndoye and Scott to Austin.

And Lalanne to Europe...

[BillMc]

Scott may get a training camp invite out of that! :)

[silverblackfan]

Scott with probably his biggest interview of his life. :lol Seemed a bit lost after it was over.

In Freedom time preferably since I don't know wtf "Riga time" is...no offense BillMc......

[Roger Freemason Jr.]

Lets hope Atlanta gets this win. Dallas has an Anderson that can shut down our Anderson.

[Chinook]

Rooting for Dallas here. Want no part of Atlanta's front line.

[TXstbobcat]

when's the next game?

I think it is tomorrow at 5 central

I agree but I still kinda hope we keep him around and try to smooth out his defense to serviceable.

Summer League Final Four! Any footage of Becky cutting down the nets?

If we win we should totally hang a Vegas Summer League banner in the practice facility. Theres probably some space somewhere. Maybe the Janitors Closet or Women's Bathroom? Right next to our 2011-2012 NBDL Champions Austin Toros Banner.

you are sad......

I love watching the Spurs with my lady. My toddler says Spurs whenever she sees a basketball. It melts my heart.

[spursince#99]

How in hell did Jonathan Simmons have a +/- of -9?

[Biggems]

We should have won by more, a poor closing effort in the final minute....first the rushed shot, then the two missed FTs......but we got the W and that is really all that matters.

BTW, that foul at the end of the 3rd was complete bullshit......Hunter jumped sideways into our defender.....IMO, that should be an offensive foul.

[Mr. Body]

How in hell did Jonathan Simmons have a +/- of -9?

He let R.J. Hunter light his ass on fire.

[BatManu20]

Yea ATL has a lot of size on that front line. Our weakness is interior & transition D/rebounding. Needless to say we'd much rather face Dallas.

[BatManu20]

Although Dallas has some size too. Either way, we'll be undersized a bit.

[steeledl]

How in hell did Jonathan Simmons have a +/- of -9?

TBH, as well as he played he wasn't featured enough. Dude didn't touch the ball on 2/3 of his offensive possessions and he was playing with the scrubs a lot too. +/- can be a bad indicator...

Yep it was a terrible call. It was so blatant too. Becky was giving the ref an earful after that one.

[steeledl]

Although Dallas has some size too. Either way, we'll be undersized a bit.

Doesn't matter. Got Simmons.

[spursince#99]

He let R.J. Hunter light his ass on fire.


:lol

[Chinook]

Although Dallas has some size too. Either way, we'll be undersized a bit.

Feel like Anderson can check Powell, though. So the Spurs could run with Scott/Simmons/Eddie/Anderson/Atkins and use their speed and driving.

[Roger Freemason Jr.]

Simmons finishing -9 is a prime example of how +/- can be a bad indicator. Without Simmons stopping the bleeding several times, Spurs lose.

[Darkwaters]

Dallas will be hungry. A Summer League title is probably their ceiling this year afterall.

[Roger Freemason Jr.]

I will say that this wasn't Simmons' strongest game. That says a lot, considering he dropped 19.

[toki9]

TBH, as well as he played he wasn't featured enough. Dude didn't touch the ball on 2/3 of his offensive possessions and he was playing with the scrubs a lot too. +/- can be a bad indicator...

Simmons played a lot with Cherry...and Cherry wasn't really passing much...

[Chinook]

Simmons finishing -9 is a prime example of how +/- can be a bad indicator. Without Simmons stopping the bleeding several times, Spurs lose.

Or it could show that Simmons wasn't that effective despite coming up with some clutch possessions. What you said would be like saying FG% was a bad indicator of Rozier's performance because he hit that tying three.

[toki9]

fun game..think smart woulda killed us tho

Off tangent, but Smart plays borderline dirty, even in SL games...I think he's going to get a reputation for that sooner or later

[steeledl]

I will say that this wasn't Simmons' strongest game. That says a lot, considering he dropped 19.

I felt like this was one of his better games honestly. He wAs extremely timely.... Especially at the end of the first half when the team was falling apart and the game wAs going to shit.... He sort of put the team on his back and we rallied.

[Roger Freemason Jr.]

Or it could show that Simmons wasn't that effective despite coming up with some clutch possessions. What you said would be like saying FG% was a bad indicator of Rozier's performance because he hit that tying three.

That's true. Although, there are plenty of factors when it comes to +/-.

[LiSpurs516]

The -9 is probably a result of Simmons being on the court when Hunter and them lit it up.

[Mamuza94]

[benefactor]

Well that was a good time.

[InRareForm]

happy for becky

[Nathan89]

+/- means nothing for 1 game. Nobody should be concerned with that. He penetrates and scores or passes the ball to open players almost every time. It's not like he is ball-stopping and taking away from the others on offense. Perhaps his defense wasn't great but the +/- stat shouldn't be where the discussion starts on that topic.

I agree with the idea that plus-minus isn't an end all be all thing. But I take issue with people saying it's misleading or flawed. It's a basic stat like points or rebounds. It's a fact that when Simmons was on the floor, the Spurs got outscored by 9, and it's a fact that the Spurs outscored Boston by 11 when Jonathan was on the bench. It doesn't mean any more or less than that.

Technically speaking, it means the lineups that included Jonathon were outscored by 9. I think people forget that +/- is really a stat to gauge lineups, not individual production.

Kyle fadeaway on his last basket was sweet

[Bartleby]

Kyle fadeaway on his last basket was sweet

Yeah, and as the commentators pointed out, if he ever masters that shot it will be nearly impossible to guard.

[SAGirl]

Not going to lie half of the thrill of watching KA is that he looks like he is in trouble often and then pulls out a trick. Dude has incredible number of moves. We certain?ly see a whole different move or shot every so often. Often I am like no, no, no, oh Yea!!! :stirpot::stirpot::chestbump:cheer

[Uriel]

Damn. To think the front office could've drafted RJ Hunter.

:depressed

[Mr. Body]

Damn. To think the front office could've drafted RJ Hunter.

:depressed

In the end I think we will be happier with Milutinov.

[Chinook]

In the end I think we will be happier with Milutinov.

And Simmons.

[Kurik]

Damn. To think the front office could've drafted RJ Hunter.

:depressed

He had a good game but he's been pretty bad overall in the SL.

[Chinook]

Would have traded a first plus to move up for Portis though. Or I would have loved Montrezl.

[boutons_deux]

Dude has incredible number of moves.

Bobo is similar. I've never seen him make the same moves, or shots, twice when 10 ft or under. For all his 30, 40 lbs of flab, he's under control, athletic.

[dingalbry]

you sure your a spurs fan?nuthin but celts highlights.

[wildbill2u]

Yeah, and as the commentators pointed out, if he ever masters that shot it will be nearly impossible to guard.

I think he will develop a little jump hook. He likes to drive, herky jerky, into the lane and gets his defender kinda out of sync. With his length he'll be able to get a jump hook off all the time, maybe with and one.

[wildbill2u]

I sure hope Simmons doesn't turn into a black hole on offense. He should never have gone for that last shot with less than 30 seconds on the clock. That's not smart Spurs basketball.

[palangi]

After watching the game I can see why we didn't draft RJ Hunter...we already have him in Jarell Eddie. Same size, length, athleticism, and shooting ability.

very similar players

[Dex]

I sure hope Simmons doesn't turn into a black hole on offense. He should never have gone for that last shot with less than 30 seconds on the clock. That's not smart Spurs basketball.

Yeah, that was terrible execution. As exciting as it was, it never should have come down to needing the game-winner.

Good news: Something tells me Becky gave him an earful for that. Hopefully it can be a learning experience for him. Better to happen in Summer League than in the big leagues.

[SpursFan86]

I sure hope Simmons doesn't turn into a black hole on offense. He should never have gone for that last shot with less than 30 seconds on the clock. That's not smart Spurs basketball.

It was just one play...he's consistently shown a willingness to pass and get others involved all SL. Don't think there's any reason to worry about him becoming a black hole on offense because he made one stupid play :lol

[BillMc]

Yeah, that was terrible execution. As exciting as it was, it never should have come down to needing the game-winner.

After watching the game I can see why we didn't draft RJ Hunter...we already have him in Jarell Eddie. Same size, length, athleticism, and shooting ability.

very similar players

RJ Hunter is better in a lot of aspects. Better defense, playmaker, court vision, higher IQ. He was a first rounder cause he's more than a catch and shoot guy.

I agree. RJ has close to a 6'10 wingspan so he's able to bother guards. He's been a little inefficient but I think he has good enough footwork to improve his percentage. (Creating better shots and what not). Kid seems to step up in big moments too. He was up for an ESPY for that win over Baylor in the NCAA tourney but he skipped it so he could be with his summer league teammates.
