Game Thread: Spurs vs Hawks, Summer League Semifinals; 5:00 CST, 1:00 Riga Time

[steeledl]

Aight Young Ginobili. . Make freethrows.

[Mugen]

Jonathan Ginobili tbh.

[milkyway21]

Nail you free throws Simmons for the win :flag:

[TXstbobcat]

Simmons drawing fouls to close this one out.

[ElNono]

why doe these dumbasses at NBA tv keep showing the depth chart without mccallum or bobi? or simmons for that matter?

didn't you hear? we traded mcallum for Boozer

[silverblackfan]

They just can't contain Simmons. :lol Kyle bringing the ball up now, not even pretending which two guys are running the offense.

[heyheymymy]

Porky's in the crowd and spilled some mustard on the court tbh.

yeah but he did have lite mayo so it's cool

[BillMc]

Jonathan Ginobili tbh.

Let's hope.

[Robz4000]

Porky's in the crowd and spilled some mustard on the court tbh.

If he's there he obviously spilled more than mustard tbh.

[KDKSpurs24]

why doe these dumbasses at NBA tv keep showing the depth chart without mccallum or bobi? or simmons for that matter?
I've been saying the same thing.. I guess because they are unproven? If that was the case then Ray would be on there but i'm not sure...

[TimDunkem]

why doe these dumbasses at NBA tv keep showing the depth chart without mccallum or bobi? or simmons for that matter?

That's what I keep wondering. I can understand Simmons, and even Bobi, but why the fuck isn't McCallum ever listed? He's an established NBA player.

Young ginobili indeed... split the FTs

[TheDoctor]

LMAO Simmons is the black Manu.

[Silver&Black]

:lmao Sperms at the line

[Robz4000]

:lmao this FT shooting

[silverblackfan]

Muscalla has pretty much shot the Hawks out with his 3s this quarter. :rolling

[tholdren]

That's what I keep wondering. I can understand Simmons, and even Bobi, but why the fuck isn't McCallum ever listed? He's an established NBA player.
under the radar move with fans - see the shit posts above about shooting the three - half the people on here didn't know manu or parker were good players BEFORE they got to the NBA... there should be more strict laws on approving new posters TBH

[Mugen]

Manu Simmons.

[Cloud786]

Get your hand out of the cookie Jar Jon

[dbestpro]

Bad foul and defense by Simmons on that play.

[ElNono]

we'll put det one on fatigue

[silverblackfan]

Damn they love a close game.

[heyheymymy]

didn't you hear? we traded mcallum for Boozer

we staaaaaacked

[tholdren]

lol eddie... I bet the posters here thought that was a good shot.... it was just another reason why eddie will be stuck without an NBA job.

[Shipupi]

I dont even....

[KL2]

Still can't get over that dunk, that shit was amazing. Simms looks like an NBA player for sure, I think he's the next D league steal, seems like a very complete player. His rebounding looks very underrated too.

[TXstbobcat]

Simmons slam!!!!!!!!!!

[ElNono]

fuck yeah!

[tholdren]

simmons just made the team.

[Cloud786]

Game set match

[Slime Baller]

Wow.

[turb0time]

SIMMONS GOD DAM

[ace3g]

Simmons needs no stickin FTs

[steeledl]

Simmons is a star

[r0drig0lac]

[Mugen]

EMMANUEL DAVID SIMMOBILI.

[Silver&Black]

Simmons dunking all over fools....

My nigga.

[TimDunkem]

IT'S OVA'!!

[silverblackfan]

Anderson is just too calm. Helps a ton. Between Tim, Kawhi and Anderson people will wonder if they are playing or a break was called.

[TheDoctor]

SIIIIIIIMOOOOOOONNNNNSSSSSSSS!!!!! :wow

[Trill Clinton]

[ElNono]

Simms: how my ass taste, tavarez?

[SPURt]

[loveforthegame]

Simmons is unreal. :tu

[Quiet Strength]

Wow..

[milkyway21]

Simmons sealing the lead...

Go :flag:

How COOL would it be if Hammon wins het first tournament ?? I hope. :rollin

[kjhip1]

This needs to lay it up tbh....:hat

[littlecoyotecoin]

LMAO Simmons is the black Manu.

Simnobili.

[tholdren]

The first time I saw simmons i was extremely perplexed why people stated he was athletic, well... he is showing now.

[TXstbobcat]

Simmons posterizing the 7 footer!!!!!

[KDKSpurs24]

I was wondering what move he was going to make.. Wow strong move! That's how you finish

[myhc]

LOL. SIMMONS SAYS FUCK U NBA.

[heyheymymy]

That's what I keep wondering. I can understand Simmons, and even Bobi, but why the fuck isn't McCallum ever listed? He's an established NBA player.

exactly, i think they just fluff the big names like noobs

[TheDoctor]

lmao Simmons t-bagged Tavares in that slam

[duncan2150]

waw simmons on tavares

[silverblackfan]

Simmons! :hungry:

[steeledl]

Im sorry but you guys cant tell me that you would take Anderson over Simmons. Simmons has a chance to make our offense dynamic by breaking down the defense in the way Parker and Ginobili could

[TXstbobcat]

Nice steal slomo!!!!!

[ivanfromwestwood]

Can't wait to see Simmons in training camps

[tholdren]

simmons should have dribbled that out and shot a three

- 90% of posters on ST

[Darius McCrary]

It's very clear that Anderson and Simmons are on a higher level than most Summer League players

[TheGoldStandard]

Another summer league diamond find

[silverblackfan]

Oh yeah, my hand can reach there.

[dbestpro]

Muscala proving the need for Splitter for Atlanta.

[milkyway21]

Anderson steal.. Clearly a mismatch there...

[KL2]

Simms limping, the ref bump him or something?

[SpursFan86]

These FTs... :bang

[ElNono]

Another summer league diamond find

spurs knew... signed him to a contract before anyone else could scoop him up

[TimDunkem]

simmons should have dribbled that out and shot a three

- 90% of posters on ST

"He's going to be in Pop's doghouse for dunking instead of shooting the 3. :cry"

[TheDoctor]

Becky's shitting on these SL coaches tbh.

[silverblackfan]

Oh yeah, my hand can reach there. - Anderson

[heyheymymy]

I've been saying the same thing.. I guess because they are unproven? If that was the case then Ray would be on there but i'm not sure...

you'd think they would learn the lesson now that anyone can contribute on spurs roster and name the depth to be ahead of the trend and seem like they knew what up. Bobi is goona be epic and mccallum can def play. If i was a producer id put that in the dpeth chart so i look like i know whats up to real fanss

[dirkdirkastan]

Anderson steal.. Clearly a mismatch there...

Clearly

[ElNono]

the final is tomorrow? we're gonna be busted

[Shipupi]

the final is tomorrow? we're gonna be busted
Yes but the other team plays right after this game, we'll still have more rest

[KDKSpurs24]

Good thing it's later at night

[TXstbobcat]

tomorow night

[silverblackfan]

Yes but the other team plays right after this game, we'll still have more rest
Yeah, but we really rely on two guys.

[Cloud786]

How many different moves has Simmons displayed this month out of the pick and roll? He's sensationally savvy

[keeferob25]

Im sorry but you guys cant tell me that you would take Anderson over Simmons. Simmons has a chance to make our offense dynamic by breaking down the defense in the way Parker and Ginobili could

Anderson has assisted BIG TIME with wins by being and recognizing the mismatch on any play that he has...so don't sell him too short. But overall I DEFINITELY find Simmons to be the better player. The amazing difference i find is that nearly ALL of Simmons plays are firmly within the flow of the offense. I find a large bulk of Anderson's plays to be a bit to disconnected from the flow and a bit "selfish" at times.

[TXstbobcat]

[Spurs9]

Can't wait to see Simmons dunk on Lebron tbh

[Mugen]

I'm also pretty much sold on Eddie getting that last roster spot. That shot is dirty AF tbh.

[LiSpurs516]

As much hate Slomo receives sometimes on this board, its good to see we clearly have two NBA caliber players in him and Simmons.

[BillMc]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzJzCsTOxW4

My God that's awesome.

[TheDoctor]

[jyra]

Good call by Becky to go really small in crunch time, recognizing that Tavares could not take advantage of mismatches inside.

[Chinook]

Didn't like that Simmons seemed gimpy at the end of the game. But yeah, this game was awesome. This Summer League has been awesome. Jonathon and Kyle are carrying the team, and they're finding a way to make Eddie more effective than he was with the Pacers in Orlando. Ndoye's growth during this SL has been incredible. I think a camp invite is a no-brainer at this point.

[SAGirl]

I think we are witnessing KA learn how to play as a forward. Not something he did in HS or college. What a nailbiter this was! :flag: spurs win!!!!!

Yep. They definitely stand out. That's a sign they can play in the NBA

[Silver&Black]

We need you Bill...

I'm sure you'll be wide awake and ready to go.

[MaNu4Tres]

Another impressive game by JSims.

It's only Summer League, but the consistency is very indicative on his NBA-readiness.

Spurs did it again.

Can't wait til Chip and Chad get more time with him.

[Vokun]

Godamn, seems like I missed one hell of a game. And that Simmons dunk is just fucking nasty

[BillMc]

We need you Bill...

I'm sure you'll be wide awake and ready to go.

Thanks man. I'll be here, coffee in hand, to watch us win the :lobt2:(SL version)

[BillMc]

Gotta say, I'm impressed with Becky.

[milkyway21]

So, what team would you want the Spurs face in the finals guys?

New Orleans or Phoenix??

[Mugen]

So, what team would you want the Spurs face in the finals guys?

New Orleans or Phoenix??

Phoenix. Anytime the Spurs can ruin Sunfan's life, you gotta take it tbh.

[Chinook]

So, what team would you want the Spurs face in the finals guys?

New Orleans or Phoenix??

Want NO. Think the Spurs can contain Curry, and no one else on that team is concerning.

[milkyway21]

Phoenix. Anytime the Spurs can ruin Sunfan's life, you gotta take it tbh.

Ok.. I only watch the Spurs so I have no clue about the other summer league teams.. :)

[Shipupi]

No..well let us see.

[KDKSpurs24]

So, what team would you want the Spurs face in the finals guys?

New Orleans or Phoenix??
Either way, Curry or Warren will be hard to contain imo.

[spurs10]

Think Bill Mc should go to bed soon as to to wake up in time for the Finals game...or just stay up.

[Silver&Black]

7 game series....Spurs SL team vs. the Lakers

Who wins?

[silverblackfan]

Phoenix. Anytime the Spurs can ruin Sunfan's life, you gotta take it tbh.

[BillMc]

Cheers. Trying to stay up to read someone's game thoughts, but will give it another 10 minutes tops.

[Vic Petro]

Another thing about Simmons that has impressed me is his ability to draw the defense to the baseline and kick out. He makes some dangerous cross-court passes, but they're usually to the right guy.

[BillMc]

7 game series....Spurs SL team vs. the Lakers

Who wins?

Lakers. But Kobe guarding Simmons? Mamba might look very old and slow....

[Chinook]

Either way, Curry or Warren will be hard to contain imo.

The Spurs have quite a few guys they'll throw at Warren, including Atkins. Scott's been the most consistent on-ball defender, which is what gives me hope against Curry.

[Silver&Black]

Lakers. But Kobe guarding Simmons? Mamba might look very old and slow....

Yeah, I'll go Lakers in 6.

[BillMc]

Yeah, I'll go Lakers in 6.

I kid you not that Becky already may be a more creative play caller than Scott.

[SnakeBoy]

Ndoye's growth during this SL has been incredible. I think a camp invite is a no-brainer at this point.

I thought he was trash at the start of the SL but yeah I'd like to seem him get an invite now. Seems like he finally realized he was a big mofo.

[spurs10]

Go Spurs Go!! Goodnight Bill Mc!

[KDKSpurs24]

The Spurs have quite a few guys they'll throw at Warren, including Atkins. Scott's been the most consistent on-ball defender, which is what gives me hope against Curry.
Yeah true. I like Scott's defense and I think he'd fair quite well but definitely not going to be easy. I think I prefer NO as well. Good thing they have to go through each other instead of us though. Both would have been a big problem haha.

[Splits]

Love how Becky is sticking to her gameplan and keeping Simmons coming off the bench (something Pop failed to do with Manu in the early 10's in the playoffs). Despite his absolute breakout and dominance, she still uses him as the spark plug off the bench.

[BillMc]

Go Spurs Go!! Goodnight Bill Mc!

Thanks man. Tomorrow is Championship Monday!:lobt2:

[DJR210]

[Chinook]

I thought he was trash at the start of the SL but yeah I'd like to seem him get an invite now. Seems like he finally realized he was a big mofo.

I think it's that he realized that he's not JUST a big mofo. Dude outplayed a much bigger guy with energy, touch and intelligence. I don't see why he couldn't become a Baynes-like player in a few years.

[milkyway21]

Hope Bonner make himself available in the SL finals and wave the towel for support. :lol

[milkyway21]

want the Suns. Love watching the the Spurs beat the Suns!!!!!

I can't believe how quick Eddie's release is, it's fucking insane

Spurs should sign him before someone else steals him!!!

[ceperez]

I'm also pretty much sold on Eddie getting that last roster spot. That shot is dirty AF tbh.

Yeah.... he still has the entire summer to work on that other part of the game that everyone hates about him.

[milkyway21]

Yeah! Simmon's dunks highlights the Pho vs NO semifinals game ..so cool

[Maddog]

Yeah.... he still has the entire summer to work on that other part of the game that everyone hates about him.

His shot is incredible, even a couple of desperation end of the clock shots came close.
Not sure how much the other aspects can be improved- but for a 15th slot>>>
Why not

The problem is that the other part is just about every other part. Sometimes he's just lost out there. But, along with so many others, tempted by him just based upon that shot. So smooth.

[BatManu20]

Missed the game but was keeping up with the score on my phone. Glad we were able to come back. Simmons is a monster, and KA has been great as well. Eddie deserves a lot of credit too. Great win by Becky and the boys. Looking like we'll be playing PHX.

[Darkwaters]

For as much as this team got dominated in the first half that was a pretty awesome comeback.

I'm sure he'll get his $50k.

$50k? Is that for a camp invite? For the camp invite, it looks like at least Lalanne and Ndoye are going. Got to have those bigs to workout against the Spurs bigs.
