:lol Pop smiling ^

[emanueldavidginobili]

Gotta say the same about Parker then too. Even Pop showed enthusiasm but not Tony.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f61Qa6Y76Bg

Wow surprised Pop reacted like that, especially during a regular season game

[Spurs9]

26 pts as he led the team to a rout is the headline I'm seeing.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQE9MbOtXgk
I'm honestly kinda surprised how a team hasn't given him a contract. I mean with dudes like Evan Turner getting huge paydays this deal can at least score like crazy and get something.

Evan Turner is a million times better than Jimmer, there's a reason why Evan just got paid and Jimmer is still trying to get signed.

[ace3g]

Spurs play the Blazers tonight at 9 p.m CST on NBATV

[Atl Spur]

Pop will handle Murrays' attitude and effort; he's not the first player with an inflated opinion of self!

[BatManu20]

Playing tonight perhaps?

I'm rewatching the game:

Murray played alot more smarter this game, picking and choosing his spots when to attack for the most part. he did a good job bringing the ball up and getting the offense started. Even Simmons showed some reserve driving in and pulling it back out on one possession at least lol. Some improvement at least, even if just a little. Back to Murray, his defense needs some work as most have already alluded to. He's reaction is either a little too slow drives and fakes or too fast as he bites on a move and gets out of place. As for the self centered talk, he's 19 and he's got a scorers mentality. He's gonna look to score in transition or drives. I don't think he's necessarily selfish in a bad way right now. I'm sure if they want him to facilitate more than he will.

Like I said earlier he played more in the flow of the offense this game, picking and choosing his spots better. For an off game, he had a pretty good game, stuffing the sheet with stats across the board. Turnovers are still a problem though. I would like to see him in the pick and roll more but the offense isn't really featuring him. He had a nice dropoff pass to Ndoye on a pick and roll, and he could do more of that if needed.

Overall it was a low scoring game, so that stats across the board were low. Still find it amazing that Murray had 10 boards. I really want to seem him as a facilitator but we'll see if they want to give him that much responsibility so soon especially with KA and JS needed touches as rotation players for next season.

[BackHome]

Man we need vet PF in a big way...

[TheGreatYacht]

Man we need vet PF in a big way...
Would've loved Speights. He's only like 28 and took the vets min

[timtonymanu]

I'm honestly kinda surprised how a team hasn't given him a contract. I mean with dudes like Evan Turner getting huge paydays this deal can at least score like crazy and get something.

Because Jimmer thinks he deserves touches like he's Curry or Westbrook.

Nice interviews! Thanks for posting!

Everything I wanted to see him working on, he mentioned it. He and the Spurs are well aware of what he needs to work on and what the spurs expect. He'll be fine. I already did notice a difference from game 1 to game 2.

[DPG21920]

I still don't know. DPG21920 tweeted inquires about it. Maybe he found out about it.

Unfortunately no. I have asked everyone I believe to be a expert and that usually responds to me, but so far radio silence. I will keep digging.

[myhc]

FYI. On the starters NBA tv show today, Brent Barry was a guest. He was dared by the hosts to say come crazy things during tonight's call. He ws ordered to the following:
sing some Pearl Jam
say something nice about his brother Jon
he has to call himself one of the greatest Spurs of all time.
make a Seinfeld reference
reference Rolando Blackman's 1986 all star game quote "confidence baby confidence!'

[SAGirl]

Timmy ... homage...

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

What the fuck is going on did Duncan announce his retirement? Why are they showing a montage of him on NBATV?

[raybies]

Hope he's watching and decides he wants one more year...

[SAGirl]

what a letdown now after so much Timmy sighting to watch a SL. lol ironic. :lmao
Still :flag:

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Why show a short tribute to him if he's not retiring, NBATV is fucking with my emotions

oh shit, we going aginst NOah Vonleh

quality production tbh :cry

[SAGirl]

Jsimms bad start smh

[SAGirl]

JSimms fixes it lol going to be one of these huh

[raybies]

See what I mean, Murray bites on fakes. It's like his quickness to a disadvantage

[Spur|n|Austin]

That Timmy intro was a near tear jerker damnit.


What the fuck is going on did Duncan announce his retirement? Why are they showing a montage of him on NBATV?

The speaker said "IF he decides to retire". Nothing said he retired, it was just a tribute to his bad assness.

Let's get this win.. Gonna punish the league.

I don't get what some of you see in Arcidiacano. He struggles when the defenders pressures him. He's a Dleague guy all the way.

[TheGoldStandard]

Brent Barry already better than Reggie Miller and Chris Webber on commentary

nice stroke by KA

[loveforthegame]

Anderson no hesitation.

[wildbill2u]

I remember Cummings had a pretty good average on 3s in a prior game. Tonite he's hitting them as well. Not shooting a lot but making them count. Anybody have access to his shooting stats? Size?

[raybies]

nice 3 ball by Kyle

[sasaint]

I don't recognize many guys on the floor. I hate it when announcers abandon their play-by-play to yak with some player.

Murray looking to pass more. Too bad Simmons wasn't ready.
I don't think Simmons timed that cut right bc Murray is just incredibly quick. Simmons was late getting there.

now a bad shot...

edit.. becky brought him in to talk about it

[myhc]

Confidence baby confidence

[ace3g]

somehow KA made that, lol

[TheGoldStandard]

that stroke looked pretty good for murray

It was one fluid motion and his release was at 90 degrees.. solid mechanics.

[loveforthegame]

That was nasty Anderson.

[raybies]

oh my goodness kyle :wow

[beirmeistr]

simmons needs to really improve on his ballhandling skills. a little scary right now

[TheGoldStandard]

Anderson with another good shot..

[ace3g]

Dejoun to KA for 3!!!

[Spur-Addict]

Nice pick and pop

[loveforthegame]

Murray looks so different. Passing and communicating. Good stuff.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

I do like how Anderson's release looks a bit quicker, or maybe I'm delusional and it hasn't changed.

[myhc]

Kyle on fire!!!

[TheGoldStandard]

Stokes just tried to fly..

if kyle can do this kind of work in the big leagues he could be sixth man of the year potential

Murray shows promise but dude is a black hole at times. That should improve with age though.

:lmao Stokes

I laughed so loud. OMG.

Stokes is really taking that Round Mound of Foul to heart

[myhc]

Damian Lillard with the dil pickle lol

He can't... at least not yet. The jump in talent from Summer League to NBA is an astronomical one.

[SAGirl]

Kyle and Dijon 3s

[Spur-Addict]

I laughed so loud. OMG.

Likewise. Wish he would make the squad just for the laughs

[Mr. Body]

Murray looks a lot better this game. Tossed the ball away a bit early, but he's trying to get it moving, the game speed isn't there yet. Overall offensive cohesion is far better, Simmons too.

[AFBlue]

Murray shows promise but dude is a black hole at times. That should improve with age though.

He shows the inconsistency you'd expect from a 19yr old with less than a week playing professional basketball. As you said, the good thing is that tone us on his side. I expect he'll grow exponentially in Austin over the next two years.

[TheGoldStandard]

Murray can at least grab boards. very nice.. smarter decisions here and there

[AFBlue]

Murray could be the best rebounding guard in the league one day. Dude is ridiculous.

[SAGirl]

I have been saying MIPoY candidate for sure. He will get minutes for sure and if he's shooting that 3 baby... yea.

Or need I remind ppl of Anderson 2 years ago?
No need to go there right?

[raybies]

interesting lineup with Arci instead of Forbes. Wonder why. Any Ideas?

[sasaint]

I have been saying MIPoY candidate for sure. He will get minutes for sure and if he's shooting that 3 baby... yea.

I don't see Kyle earning any awards. There will be 6th men on other teams that put up much bigger numbers than a sixth man in the Spurs' system. Did Manu ever win 6th MoY?

Also Kyle has shown steady improvement. Don't see him making some quantum leap statistically that would get him in the running for MIPoY.

[SAGirl]

In the defensive possession? No trust in Forbes defense? Jarell Eddie was so notoriously bad he was benched even in SL for defensive possessions. I haven't paid attention to him TBH outside of the first two games.

My attention is on the big 3 of SL :flag:

[raybies]

Yeah the 3 ball is what really gonna take him to the next level. It's a potentially career changing skill for him and what we need. He just can't hesitate with it. Just let it fly and shoot it confidently. He's come a long way since he was a rookie, with his shot.

Maybe I am overhyped but him shooting the 3 is a big deal. He will score a lot more just on that. Realistically how many games will Pau rest for example. Kyle will play a lot this season IMO.

Kyle's 3-ball improvement IS a big deal - huge, in fact. I still don't see him averaging over 12points/game. There will be guys in the league who played very little last season who will come out of nowhere for MIPoY, IMHO.

I think sasaint (http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/member.php?u=12242) point is well taken though. He won't dominate the ball. Mills will get his shots, so will Manu and there will be a lot of other guys involved, including Simmons, Bertans etc. It's not built for any of these guys to shine. Maybe he doesn't outshine others who become high usage in the league all of a sudden, but individually he can easily double his own stats just on increased playing time and improvements in his shooting.

[raybies]

[sasaint]

It's really up to Kyle. He's next in line. My point was that if he could do what he does in the d-league and summer league then he could have a breakout year. Some players can, some never do.

I expect/hope Danny and Patty have big bounce-back seasons. Then there's Kawhi, LMA, Pau, TP. SAGirl and I have been trading positive assessments of Kyle since last SL. I believe he is Spurs TNG, but with those guys around, I am not seeing his compiling statistics that would place him in the running for any awards. "Breakout" may mean something different to you. I just expect him to firmly establish himself as a solid 6th/7th man good for 20-25 minutes a game.

Yeah, I see what your saying. Kyle won't have the same usage % in the bigs as he has here in the summer. But i think that depends on Manu and Simmons, if they can perform and if Kyle is just dominating. You hope the usage is balanced, so y'all are right.

[Mr. Body]

Can we get the good players in?

[ducks]

Simmons only one turnover

Definitely. I would like that too. My breakout year is that he surpasses all expectations and has an incredible year. But its more plausible that he has a breakout year just establishing himself.

like the 4th one tonight. Brent still needs to sing some pearl jam and say something nice about jon Barry

[SAGirl]

JSimms much more in control and with much better passes but he's most definitely passing on 3s.

[sasaint]

:lol

I don't think he has ever had a 1-TO game. I don't expect it to start a trend, but I can hope...

[SAGirl]

Dijon a bit out of control ... but Simmons hasn't been good catching bounce passes TBH.

[SAGirl]

I don't think he has ever had a 1-TO game. I don't expect it to start a trend, but I can hope...
1 of KA TO and 1 of Dijon though were bounce passes that he didn't grab... He didn't get tacked with the TO, but still I don't like that.

[raybies]

Murray, a lot of his turnovers are just him being ahead of the curve. He just needs to make the simple play.

[SAGirl]

This Portland team is terrible

[sasaint]

1 of KA TO and 1 of Dijon though were bounce passes that he didn't grab... He didn't get tacked with the TO, but still I don't like that.

I wonder if he has ever had a 3-TO game? :wow Agree, tbh. Not good hands tonight.

[raybies]

Why no Forbes?

[SAGirl]

I wonder if he has ever had a 3-TO game? :wow Agree, tbh. Not good hands tonight.
Does he seem like a guy that needs the ball to you?

[sasaint]

Why no Forbes?

He looked okay tonight. Good bounce-back. I'm sure they just want to see who else might get an invite to Austin.

Why no Forbes?
I figure Becky with something like 16 guys to play and 3 of them our rotation/rookie players, she has to give a chance to others. Forbes played a lot the first few games.

Kyle better get Lalanne a drink for that

Vonleh is super athletic the kind of big you want to run PnR with... this Portland team is so bad except Vonleh.

[SAGirl]

Cady at last!!!!!!!!!

[raybies]

bounce back game for forbes indeed

[BatManu20]

Becky not gonna be happy with our D. It's a lay up line out there.

[ElNono]

ISO slomo, ugh

Agreed.

Does he seem like a guy that needs the ball to you?

Yes. I said in another thread earlier that I think of him as a homeless man's DWade. I know everybody wants him to develop a 3, but I really want to see him improve his midrange game. He is so intent on finishing at the rim that he passes up a ton of opportunities to make a jump-stop and make short jumpers. He really needs that jump-stop, IMHO.

Looks like Murray is getting benched

With Portland's re-signing Leonard today, Vonleh could be available. They may be showcasing him.

Kyle shooting baby!!!!!!!!!!!! I am going to annoy pppllll :flag:

[raybies]

Murray makes a 1 minute cameo :lol

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Rough game for Murray, he's clearly athletic enough he's just a bit out of control and he's missing a shit ton of close shots.

[myhc]

Kyle shooting baby!!!!!!!!!!!! I am going to annoy pppllll :flag:

LOL

And Brent completes it with "Relese me!!!

[SAGirl]

Simmons midrange improved too.

[raybies]

Kyle, my goodness. please kyle i want to see more

[wildbill2u]

KA making shots from everywhere tonite. He looks so much more comfortable and confidnet in his shot. Maybe because the SL isn't the big leagues. 23 pts ain't bad.

[ElNono]

Becky acing Ws like it's nobody's business... Pop's replacement?

[daslicer]

Simmons and KA looked good in this game. Murray played like a typical 19 year old which is he was trying to do too much and playing out of control.

[TheGoldStandard]

Shine up that trophy.. We going back to back..

[BillMc]

Victory!:flag:

[BillMc]

Liking what I see from the outside from Kyle.

True, but Dijon also showed some good stuff - most especially his 3-ball looked good.

dleague bound... we'll see him in the season occasionally. Pop will be rough on him and he needs it. :flag:

watch out SAGirl that reporter gave kyle the eyes

Yeah his shot is more translatable than his finger:lolls

[picnroll]

Murray took good shots many just rimming out. No complaints here.

[BatManu20]

Shine up that trophy.. We going back to back..

If we improve our D, we have a solid shot.

[ducks]

Murray is working on shot trying to fix it but needs more then 3 days in a gym to get confidence in it

This is Simmons and Anderson 3 year in summer league

Lol, this was the best game for him so far.

[SAGirl]

Becky acing Ws like it's nobody's business... Pop's replacement?
I love her TBH. Every time out, spot on play, gets guys settled too when they are out of control. She's got definite talent as coach. She can reach these guys quickly too. I mean Pop takes a year to get to know ppl and they need a second season to work out in the Spurs?

Look at Becky in SL. and yea KA and JSimms are vets here, but last season KA practically a rookie really and he wasn't stellar in his rookie NBA season by any means, and JSimms was just an athlete. She made them look good, got them in good spots.

She's a terrific coach.

[wildbill2u]

Murray dribbles the ball too high. He got his pocket picked a couple of times tonight and when he gets to the big leagues there are guards who will salivate looking at the opportunity for steals.

[SAGirl]

watch out SAGirl (http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/member.php?u=49524) that reporter gave kyle the eyes
He is cute... I don't mind the large forehead lol :lol

[siraulo23]

I liked what i saw from Murray, other than a couple of turnovers, i thought he stayed within the team offense and did pretty good defensively as well. Those 2 three pointers are hopefully a sign of good things in terms of his jumpshot

:tu

They can get a player with upside for him, but he's still in his rookie deal. If you have a guy on a rookie deal with some potential, that is a guy you hold on to, IMO. He's just 20. The tough aspect on him I guess is that his finishes were at the rim and that is not there for him in the same way in the NBA. Needs more of a PF game and plays like a Center I guess. But again, he's just 20 yrs old sooo young, Dijon's age basically.

[siraulo23]

Forbes, i think the spurs need to give this guy a shot to make the team in training camp. He's just a smart basketball player who can really shoot

Is he already signed for the upcoming season or not?
