The Loaded Magazine of Bryn Forbes

[cd98]

Hey Parker won the skills challenge once at an all-star game. He can be And-1 elite when he needs to be.

[Dex]

Parker very rarely lost the ball or had it swiped on the dribble. He can go to both hands and has a great low dribble. In his prime, he could get up the court faster than just about anybody in the league, and he finished a couple years as the highest scoring guard in the paint (and rivaled some of the big guys in that category). You don't do that if you don't know how to handle the ball.

He may not be a flashy dribbler like Curry, but his dribbling is definitely elite.

[littlecoyotecoin]

Was he one the Daye train too? I know littlecoyotecoin was.

You're a prick with a bad memory , so no surprise here. I was fine with them getting rid of Daye when they did. I think Daye is an idiot at this point, and squandered opportunities. Murray is a bit of an idiot, as well, and reminds me a bit of Daye, actually.

[Chinook]

You're a prick with a bad memory , so no surprise here.

Well that seems a little extreme.

[littlecoyotecoin]

Well that seems a little extreme.

I'm not passive aggressive.

[duncan2k5]

TP was a fantastic ball handler. I think he was elite. Sure, he didn't have the flashy moves, but he was a darn good ball handler for most of his career.

Damn good isn't elite...he doesn't have the ball on a string like the elites do...an elite ball handler has the ability to shake someone 1on 1...parker only relies on his speed...he has never had a great crossover...not dribbling the ball off your feet doesn't mean you have elite ball handling skills...saying parker has elite ball handling is like saying Shaq is an elite dunker...I'm not gonna get any support because im going against the hive mind, but only spurs fans would consider parker to have ELITE ballhandling

[duncan2k5]

Unbelievable... These guys think Parker's handles are on par with Iverson...lmfao!

[duncan2k5]

Next thing u guys will say is that tony was an elite passer

[Chinook]

No one's ever gonna say you're an elite poster, though.

[Dex]

No one actually ever said that Tony was better than Iverson. The point is that you don't have to be just like AI to be considered an elite ball handler.

I'd take Tony's lower turnover rate (both career and P36) over AI's wicked crossover.

Cmon bro. Tony has elite handling skills.

Seems like a guys who watches a few highlights and is very opinionated bc he likes the flashy stuff.

Tony is in my mind has elite handles. Not flashy. Not at all.

His handles are highly proficient and were the perfect style for his strengths. Lightning quick guard who can beat you with speed. He was always on the move and pushing the ball agressively up court. Crossover skills are irrelevant when your sprinting down the floor at top speed with the ball or going aggressive straight to the paint . Good way to blow out a knee every other year too you start trying to get cute and pull a crossover with that style of play.

The spin move was more suited to tony's style of play. Allows you to swith directions without taking your foot off the gas.

He had better spin moves than Allen iverson. That counts for something.

Van dame had been training and testosterne was up and a snake was going after something. Just some bad ass stuff van dame is capable of.

His portrayal of frank dukes was, dare I say, Oscar worthy.

[rastaspur]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DEkD6kQXoAIpTps?format=jpg&name=large

If he has another 35 point game he should slide around in his socks on the court with sun glasses and underwear like Tom Cruise in risky business.

Murray would be if he could score 35 points two straight games.

Ok, well there are some cheesy movies that I like. I know Lionheart was cheeseball but I still enjoyed it.

I like some crappy movies just because... well I don't know why. For example, I really like the movie Only The Strong and I know it's really stupid (Not a Van Damme movie though)

Bertans was a hype job from the beginning, he's shown nothing that Austin Daye couldn't do. He'll have a microwave game once every 3 months but he won't do much else. Didn't get the love fest posters here had for him when he was putting up pedestrian numbers against plumbers and farmers. Not to mention he was in the ER from 2012-2014

[Gagnrath]

We know that he can rebound well... you know... kind of like a Dennis Rodman player. Lots of athleticism but no skills.

If Murray had just a fraction of the skills of Forbes, he'll be devastating!

Honestly Pistons Rodman was a darn fine offensive player.it wasn't a skills problem in Chicago but a lack of opportunity and ball, given the choice between Pipen, Jordan or Rodman who do you think is the most likely to get the ball on offense? He just got slotted into rebound guy over rounded player to a certain extent.

I said in between the draft and the start of free agency to include Bertans and/or Murray in any trade if you can get a good/great player back. People here didn't want to include either in any trade package. I thought that was retarded, as I didn't think either player is anywhere near untouchable.

Anytime the Spurs get a remotely good asset (apart from George Hill), the fans here end up overrating those players, and I think even the front office does too, which is evident by them not willing to take a risk in any bold trades. They fucked up if they turned down any trades for a good player because they didn't want to part with either of these two players.

Watched his defense closely in yesterday's game. He tries hard, I'll give him that. But he gets left behind so often that when his man scores it looks like so other Spur should have been guarding him. And the guy who rotates to cover his man often picks up a foul.

I don't know if a shooting specialist is gonna make the new era Spurs.

I'm waiting to see what he can do against regular NBA competition this year, assuming he doesn't get traded and makes it out of training camp.

[FkLA]

Yet somehow he managed to shoot 40% at the NBA level his rookie year. ��

[Ice009]

So you guys think he's still a fringe NBA player and it's still uncertain that this will translate at the NBA level?

I think he's played magnificent this Summer League. I didn't expect him to up his game like this at all. It seems he's made so much progress on the offensive side of the ball in just a short period of time.

Admittedly, I thought of him as a Gary Neal type but I have been very impressed with his handles (in highlights at least). His drives looks solid and he looks like he can get his shot against bigger players from behind the arc. I remember last year people were talking about how well he played off ball and took advantage when his man turned their head and ball watched.

I am much more optimistic about him now.

But why are people forgetting that Kyle couldn't shoot? He won Summer League MVP with getting to the rim and scoring or getting fouled. Bryn on the other hand is displaying skills that at least translate. His specialty is shooting so that translates. He moves well off ball and now has shown an ability to use his handles go by defenders and finish or draw fouls. Even if this is Summer League, I still see skills that have a better chance for success than what Kyle displayed. People don't seem like they are using their eye test but are rather using their mind to only think "this is just Summer League". Which is true but I'd rather the Spurs give him a chance. We could use the shooting.

Did the coaches provide a list of things they wanted to see you improve in time for the season? If so, what are those things?
Defense. That’s something that we’ve focused on. That is what the coaching staff talks to me about. They are not worried about me making shots, but making sure I’m doing the other stuff on the defensive side. That’s my main focus. Take steps forward on the defensive end, and then do what I’m able to do on the offensive end.
Defense aside, what are the goals that you want to achieve this season?
Play the way that I know I can play. That’s the big thing. When I do get my opportunities, just take advantage and don’t be hesitant.
Last season you told me you hesitated at times when playing. You would not take shots that were there. Is that hesitation gone?
That’s been one of my main focuses, too. Just come in and do what I do instead of sitting back and watching. Just getting in there and being aggressive. That’s a big thing (coaches) told me.
Is your shot a priority, too? Can it still improve?
It can always improve. That’s something I’ve been working on, too. Getting a quicker shot. I’m not dipping as much. I think I’ve improved in every area. I’m excited to see what the season holds.
I know you’re a confident guy, but looking back on your summer, did you even surprise yourself a bit?
I put in a lot of work before summer league. I knew I was capable of doing it, but I didn’t know it was going to go how it went. It ended up going pretty well and I had fun out there. It was a great learning experience for me.
With that said, what is your confidence level heading into a new season?
I feel good. Again, I put in a lot of work over the summer and at the end of last season. I feel like I’m a much better player now than I was a year ago. I’m ready for whatever is thrown at me.
You said you’re a better player. What’s changed?
I got a lot stronger and I understand the game a lot more. I played a lot of point guard in summer league so I’m seeing the game through a different perspective. I’ve been working on my body, the mental side of the game, and my skills.

[cutewizard]

[SAGirl]

I'll note Pop was being humorous when he said it.. you know how he is with media, but still. It's a definite way to boost Bryn's confidence. He has already said b4 he's happy with the way he's playing so it's just good to see him succeed.

I'd say just a few Patty Mills fanboys hated on Bryn in the past and a few Murray fans. Objectively, he's earned his playing time. Hopefully he comes with big shots in the playoffs like Marco's.

Have to enjoy watching this team. Not everyone will be back that is up for a contract. That is just how that is.

But untill last season he was also bad on the regular season. How do you want him to be good on the playoffs when he sucked on the regular season? This season he's doing much better, so he should get the benefit of the doubt of being able to keep up this regular season's play to the playoffs.

[boutons_deux]

keep the 3 pt line, but add another line for 4 points

NFL needs to kill the kick for one point after touchdown, and/or add more points for longer after-touchdown kicks.

He'll probably get garbage time minutes and one or 2 critical minutes to show something. But the benefit of the doubt is for experienced players only. Not turds.

With so many guys injured and so many guys crapping out lately, Forbes has failed to exploit a golden opportunity. Moreover, with some good shooting, Forbes could have been the guy to pull out a W in one or two recent games. I have really been rooting for him. Maybe if I stopped he would do better...

[Hoops Czar]

He also had zero assists and nearly found a way to foul out against the Suns in a 48 point blow out. If you look up scrub in the dictionary, you'll see a picture of Forbes. When he's on the court, it's just an awful sight to behold.

I also agree with Hoops Czar about Patty being cost prohibitive. If they were both the same price, I'd probably take Patty over Forbes.

[cd021]

In the NBA, they figure you out after a hot streak and you have to adjust. It’s his time to adjust.
I feel like that adjustment period has already happened. He struggled shooting from just about everywhere earlier this season; a continuation from last season, before the past 5 games he was leading the team in 3pt shooting at 40.6%, he's 0-15 since.


B is geting, and missing open shots, not contested shots

There is probably a way to quantify this but it really does feel like he has missed the most open shots on the team.
He had that first @Phx and the last Dallas home game where he went a combined 0-10, mostly on open looks before knocking down the game winner against PHX and big 3 late against the Mavs. He is the definition of mixed bag; he might hit a big 3 but may go 0 for in the 25 minutes that he played proceeding it

[cd021]

Guy is slumping. Don't think he's really done a full season yet has he?
95 games and 1600 minutes played over two seasons. He's averaging about 21 mpg this year and on pace for about 1500 minutes total on this season.

[Chinook]

He definitely has not been stepping up, but he could do with at least Gay coming back. The farther down on the option list he goes, the more comfortably he'll probably feel.

Curry level? He's shooting the same % as Danny and 50:lol players like Forbes need to be playing at their highest level to earn a secure spot/contract in the league..this is who he is, he doesn't belong in a rotation..

[SAGirl]

He’s streaky and when he’s been in the rotation there’s many games in a row where he’s come up empty. It’s one of the things that no stats will reveal. Many of the shots he has made to buff up his shooting numbers have come up when the games don’t matter and Pop puts him in garbage time. Since he only gives you shooting/scoring and there’s no other thing he does well enough, him being that streaky is awful. The only reason for him to play is for some shooting/scoring. Perhaps this is all just mental toughness he needs to develop.


964246411280834562

and these are mostly all shots spotted up with his feet set. He’s not a dynamic shooter like JJ Reddick or Korver and others that keeps running around picks or screens to set himself free with no help from others creating a shot for him. He still has a lot to develop as a shooter/bomber.

[sasaint]

One can only wonder what White would have done with all the play that Pop handed Bryn.

[SAGirl]

Pop fell in love with the Bryn. I consider Davis the better player. He’s not only taller, thus able to affect defense better (even with his faults on defense he’s miles ahead of Bryn), Davis also creates favorable mismatches, running in transition since bigs don’t keep up with him when he sprints. Bryn creates unfavorable mismatches, having to match up with wings.

Yet Pop chose to give HEAVY minutes to Bryn when Rudy and Danny got injured and from there, there were some games between December and January he was getting played the most minutes of any other perimeter player. Pop could have played White. Tony missed a bunch of games, Danny and Manu have gotten injured too, Pop still didn’t play White. Heck Pop calledup Hilliard from the GLeague and gave him playing time preASB, and he still didn’t play White.

What is that? Does Pop really want to win or was he punting this season bc Kiwi was injured???

Whatever has been going on behind the scenes and between Pop's ears, it is The Lost Season. Hopefully, the Spurs can start some new historic streaks next season... However, with decisions being made about 50Mills, Pau and White as they were, I am pretty depressed about going forward with the current regime in charge. Those sad decisions were all pre-tank (if that's what is really going on).

[Ice009]

If Bryn can now consistently start hitting shots in games, then I am more than happy to keep him on the team at his current value. I think he's a phenomenal shooter, but the fact that he couldn't hit shots in games was making me turn on him. I also didn't like his body language after misses. I thought for the caliber of shooter the Spurs said he was on the practice court, he should have a lot more confidence in himself even after misses. Good to see him start hitting shots in games. Hopefully he can keep this up and show us all how great of a shooter he is.

Yeah, he's still a terrible defender and I also don't think he should be starting. If Lonnie and Derrick weren't out, I'd rather both of them starting due to their superior potential on defense.

crazy how life works sometimes... took three players getting injured just to give him the opportunity to have his shine. Probably made a career over these last few games after finding himself... crzy

If Forbes was looking for his shot more or the team looking to find him in offense, then he'll score a lot more. He's not the best of defenders, but you see that he's aggressive.

Looks like he's becoming more comfortable playing and pretty seen, it won't be a surprise that he has a couple of games with 30 points.

He's out-competed Ball in both games. It's really all you can ask of him. So long as Gay starts (and I know he didn't tonight), Forbes has to start. The first unit needs his spacing, and the second unit will need whatever play-making White can provide.

Forbes and Patty are very similar skill set. His positive play will hopefully reduce Patty’s minutes when White and Walker get back.

Patty is okay as SG and instant offense, never a facilitator. I do love him taking charges and even tried with McGee. Just can’t expose him trying to create. The guy is not a PG.

[Chinook]

Yeah, a lot of how abysmal Patty has been has to do with not having Manu next to him, and a lot of how bad he's been over the past couple of years has to do with Manu's decline. Anderson never really developed into a consistent play-maker, so Mills was gonna be in trouble anyway. Letting Kyle walk and replacing him with Cunningham definitely wasn't going to help. The best hope is that he can develop real chemistry with White once Derrick returns.

[024]

I always thought Forbes' ceiling was a homeless man's Steph Curry. He looked absolutely great in non-regular season games before only to disappoint in actual games. Glad to see he's getting over the mental block. All it took was Parker leaving, Manu retiring, and 3 injuries to the Spurs guard rotation.

[picnroll]

I expect with more playing time and experience Forbes will show some improvement in play making, defense, ball handling to the point he’s even a greater asset. Proud member of the rarly Forbes bandwagon brigade.

[RC_Drunkford]

the next step for him is driving to the basket and finishing around the rim which he is already decent at. We saw it in this game when they ran him off the 3-point line. That's also the one thing he's way better at than Patty. I expect him to improve even more as the season progresses. He really is a better version of Mills on a cheap contract. That's great value for 2.8 million. PATFO can now go ahead and trade Mills

[Robz4000]

Glad to see Forbes really worked on his game this past offseason. He's a legit NBA player now (maybe even an NBA starter).

[25apr]

i dont like his jumping entry passes although i know he is short.
it leads a couple of interceptions every game because you cannot change your direction in the air after jump.
why dont bounce pass?

[ceperez]

He's out-competed Ball in both games. It's really all you can ask of him. So long as Gay starts (and I know he didn't tonight), Forbes has to start. The first unit needs his spacing, and the second unit will need whatever play-making White can provide.

Gay needs all the spacing he can get to go one-on-one. He's not as mobile to be able to kick out to an open player when doubled (unlike DeRozan).

Yes, he's a poor man's Curry, but if he can develop the quick release that Curry uses (push shot and barely jumping) then who knows what his ceiling is.

[Raven]

can't hate on a man earning his food. He put the work in and he's doing a decent job. When you're humiliating Lonzo Ball on every play, you're doing a good job.

Love Bryn's competitiveness tbh. He's never going to be a good defender bc he's undersized and unathletic, but the kid competes harder than anyone out there. And he's becoming a big-shot maker, which we desperately need. He's still 3-4 years away from his prime imo, which is good. Hope he continues to improve. He's been a pleasant surprise thus far.

He's been the player I've looked most forward to watching to each game last and this year. I know what to expect from the other players. I saw a lot of potential at times but his minutes weren't consistent like this year and his stats show it. True his defense is subpar but that's because he's under sized obviously. But I think he's gotten better each game. He just needed a chance...

Surprised nobody is talking about Bryn getting 7 assists last night... Article in the Express News mentions he said he was focusing on playmaking. Suns or not he went from averaging like 1 a game to exploding for 7. Dude is being developed right before our eyes :wow

You are not the only one. I said he was going to have a bounce back season to which someone said he has always sucked. It is still a long season, I don’t think he is a star or anything. Just capable of being a quality bench scorer. Never watch the Kings or Buddy. He reminds me of Patty after he loss some weight when he first came over.

I still liked what I saw yesterday from Bryn. Confidence is building. Made some big shots. Misses were mostly in and out misses. He would air ball and badly miss some of those shots last year.

I hated what I saw from him down the stretch. He took the ball away from our best players to be the hero....and being the g-leaguer he really is, he failed. He needs to remember his role to bring the ball up and only take crunch time shots if he's the only option.

Would you rather LMA take the airball? Bryn is the best shooter in the squad. Sure he missed but better he took it than not. He’ll take the next one and hopefully he makes it. Spurs need him to take clutch shots.

I don't mind him taking that last 3 pointer. Glad he got the balls to shoot it. I want to see a game where he goes summer league mode and drops an easy 30 on somebody

:lmao easily my most hated Spur in the last 10 years

Gasol and his "thank-you contract" take the prize to me

[Texas_Ranger]

i don't like this shitty player, but I can't be mad at him cause he gets minutes. It's like having a retarded kid at Harvard and be surprised he's not smart.

Mine is Kevin Martin. No one else comes close.

Matt Bonner and Jeff Ayres say hi.

I liked Bonner, and felt sorry for Ayres. Martin could legit join ISIS, and I'd like him more because it would remove any possibility he could be part of the Spurs' future.

Shouldn't have waived Rasual Butler. Now he's dead
