Bryn Forbes..

[spursistan]

How did this scrub worm his way into a roster spot? :lmao

[TheGreatYacht]

Jimmer syndrome. Great D-League player, shit NBA player.

PATFO calling it a deadline with Joel Anthony and Forbes on the roster :lol

[spursistan]

Probably would have picked Calderon and cut him..

[Hoops Czar]

Bertans isn't any better.

[ducks]

Timvp better

[SpurPadre]

He's not even a poor man's Gary Neal...that's how bad he is as an NBA player.

[Hoops Czar]

Oh, so the guy Spurstalk wanted as Paddy's replacements all of a sudden stinks. :lol Didn't see that one coming.

[spursistan]

He's not even a poor man's Gary Neal...that's how bad he is as an NBA player.
:lmao

[HarlemHeat37]

I don't think I had ever watched him before tonight..he looks way too slow for a scoring combo guard..

[BatManu20]

I'm not giving up on him as a prospect yet. I think he might be able to be a serviceable role player in a couple years, but he's nowhere near ready right now. Probably won't be ready until he's 25 or 26. Sucks we have to wait to roster spots on guys you can't play right now.

[K...]

Maybe this was his burn before pop signs the washed up vets who Will carry us to glory like tmac and Andre did

[Splits]

I've heard from sources inside the locker room that Tony is going out of his way to mentor him and the dude will have none of it, thinks he knows everything, total Machiavellian

[SpursBig3s]

This dude is awful

[weeks]

I couldn't tell who it was for a fkn long time. Wtf did we cut lapro for this nobody

[TheGreatYacht]

Lapro got cut because he was trash tbh :lol was also taking Murray's minutes

[Spur Bank]

:nutkick:Let this be a reminder to everyone how little training camp performance matters. And not just Forbes.. Dedmon looked unathletic and terrible.

Small sample size syndrome at its best!

[dabom]

OP is actually right.

[daledondale]

I couldn't tell who it was for a fkn long time. Wtf did we cut lapro for this nobodyExactly this.

[Chinook]

I can forgive Forbes' physical shortcomings. He can't do much about those. I can't forgive his hesitation. You're out there to shoot, bud. You get the ball behind the arc with breathing room, and that shot needs to go up. Don't drive or pass unless they start blocking the shots.

The only point to his signing was his ability to shoot threes. When you get your chance as a rookie, you have to know what is expected of you and not hesitate. Your post is spot on.

The kid is shrinking from the moment and that is a terrible sign. I can't see him on this roster past this season.

Considering our current PG-SG rotation that was a clear mistake on the FO.

No matter if we ring or not this years roster moves and final look is at least questionable and the FO should be accountable.

Everything from the Manu contract, to the lack of an NBA Caliber starter at PG, passing thru the little things (LJC sign n cut, Laprovittola, Forbes) has been at least odd.

[kuato]

Spurs needs campazzo

I'd rather have garino.

Those two things say all that needs to be said about Forbes.

[Arcadian]

He doesn't really have a roster spot, at least not on the active roster. He's the 15th man. Pop just pulled a Pop and suddenly plugged in a 15th man into a critical rotation slot and played him 16 minutes against a playoff team.

Yeah, that wasn't destined for disaster.

[DJR210]

:lol Dudes named Bryn
:lol destined to fail since birth
:lol should be happy he made it to the pro level and got to meet Tim, Tony, Manu and Pop and call it a career

[kuato]

I'd rather have garino.

Not the same positions, in fact, watching his last game, i do'nt know what position Forbes plays on :D

[gambit1990]

If they are going to invest that much time into developing a player they might as well start with one that has some physical skills or some bb iq. Guys with none of those that can occasionally get hot from 3 aren't worth the time.

[kuato]

What about Lucio Redivo ? he's not even in Europe yet but he seems to be a good shooter.
https://youtu.be/A17S7tVIWo4

[TimDunkem]

He's fucking awful.

And lol at Hoops Serf for saying Bertans isn't any better. Give me whatever you're smoking, bud.

[MultiTroll]

This. From what I have seen guy does not have physical tools to make it in NBA.
Low and behold Porker and Murray got hurt and the 5th guard spot actually matters. Seems like a wasted sign with so many guys desperate to get into the NBA. Play it again Sam (RC and Pop).

Altho to me Andre Miller was a good pick up. Not his fault Popped chained him to the bench when he may well have helped vs OKC.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Pop is probably looking at him like a Patty Mills replacement.

[spursistan]

Get this scrub off my team srs...:lol

[kaji157]

...is shit.

[Fireball]

... is too small ... and is shit

[sasaint]

C J Wilcox was recently cut by Orlando. He has suffered several injuries since being drafted which have seriously retarded his development. I would like to see him on the SL team. Potentially good reclamation project. Too late to do anything this year.

April 14
Rosters set for NBA Playoffs 2017, 3 p.m. ET



spurs keeping him over nico and garino :lol

is norris cole available? would easily take him over forbes. i kinda hate lance stephenson... would've taken him over forbes too though.

[SpursforSix]

:pop: what happened? last thing I remember was picking up some super tall half negro with the number one pick

[HarlemHeat37]

He might be the worst defender I've ever seen in a Spurs uniform, tbh..

He needs to shoot 45% from 3 to justify his presence on an NBA roster, let alone a rotation for a playoff team..poor White..

[DAF86]

Forget about White, that we all know won't see significant minutes this season. Can somebody explain to me how does it make more sense to have Forbes over Bertans in the rotation?

[spursistan]

Get this scrub off my team srs...:lol

[Floyd Pacquiao]

For supposedly being a 3 point specialist I don't think I've ever seen him hit a 3.

[UZER]

Forget about White, that we all know won't see significant minutes this season. Can somebody explain to me how does it make more sense to have Forbes over Bertans in the rotation?

Why Pop continues to get a pass for this kind of stuff is just ridiculous. No excuse for not playing White.

[TDTPMG21920]

Lol sharpshooter

[TimDunkem]

I don't give a shit if he was actually good at what he's paid to do. He's undersized, can't pass, can't defend, can't score in any other way than wiiiide open 3s (that he usually clanks) and contested runners that put the defense in a bad position when he misses and falls on his ass.

He sucks. Get rid of this Make-A-Wish charity case.

[TimDunkem]

Lol sharpshooter

":cry Best shooter we've ever seen. The coaches told me, Bill :cry"

[NASpurs]

:lmao that one time when Poop compared this guy to Steph Curry

[NASpurs]

Pop was asked if Bryn Forbes (https://247sports.com/Player/Bryn-Forbes-77511) reminds him any of Gary Neal (https://247sports.com/Player/Gary-Neal-85222).
Pop: "No. ... He reminds me of Steph Curry.”
Me (because I'm me): "Did you say 'Steph' or 'Seth?'


crofl crofl crofl

[TimDunkem]

:lmao that one time when Poop compared this guy to Steph Curry

Tbh, I don't even think Pop thought that for a second. He must have been trying to boost Charity Case's confidence since he clearly had none prior to this year.

What I don't understand is why Forbes? Shooters who can hit shots in an open gym are a dime a dozen. God forbid you look for a prospect with some size.

[Stabula]

You guys have short memories as usual. Earlier in the season Forbes was balling, not sure what's wrong with him right now.

[UZER]

Doesn’t matter. I won’t play them.

:pop:

[TimDunkem]

He hit a few shots and had two decent games early in the season. Such a baller.

[spurraider21]

he's actually been hitting 53% of his threes since the all star break

[SAGirl]

he's actually been hitting 53% of his threes since the all star break
Most of those shots in garbage time.

[dbestpro]

Maybe its time to think about not using 4 point guards and focus on 2-3. Forbes should not touch the floor unless there is an injury.

[sananspursfan21]

And this was the guy everyone liked coming into the season...

[sammy]

I keep seeing Manu or Tony yelling at him as he's not defending his player or looks lost out there! He should be on the bench!

[duncan2150]

I hate this guy ! He didn't bring nothing to the table. He can't make an open shot....... I don't understand why pop is playing him.

0 points 0 rebounds 0 steal 0 block 2 assists 0/2 shooting with 16 minutes on the court against the Bucks...... really ?

[K...]

LMAO y'all guess are going to love next year. He'll be back backing paddy or starting at the two. Grim times my friends, grim times

[gambit1990]

spurs keeping him over nico and garino :lol

is norris cole available? would easily take him over forbes. i kinda hate lance stephenson... would've taken him over forbes too though.
i’d still take a flyer on nico or garino over forbes.

[Phenomanul]

... just plainly sucks tbh. His defense is atrocious, his in-game decision making too.

[r0drig0lac]

forbes, bp3 (lmao), joff, great job PATFO

[TheDoctor]

[spurs50_]

Play White already. ...damn

[cd98]

:lmao:rollin:lmao

In fairness, Forbes and Curry do kind of look a like. Unfortunately, the looks do not extend to basketball talent.

[TimDunkem]

Curry also has more confidence in his left pinky toenail than Make-A-Wish Forbes has in his entire body.

I have never seen any player look as defeated as Forbes does after every single missed shot.

[TimDunkem]

Jason Terry on Undisputed today discussing one possible reason why Kawhi is sitting:


"Maybe he's looking at the roster too now...Come on, Skip. I didn't even know the guy I was guarding last night. I don't even remember his name. Uhh...number..elev...eleven...Bree...Bry...Bryn... Fo..For...Forbes?"

LMAOOOO Washed up Jason Terry trashing Charity Case tells you all you need to know about how awful this scrub is. :lmao

At 7:40 - https://youtu.be/GBeEEnMOqzc

Gtfoh, scrub. MF'er can barely shoot freethrows. :lmao

[SAGirl]

You know what is worse? Tony hasn't really been that much better... Sure Tony can at least pass the ball better but statistically they aren't that different this season in terms of their impact.

[TimDunkem]

They both need to go, tbh.

[Atl Spur]

I agree

[FuzzyLumpkins]

His shitty on the ball defense is bad enough but the repeated stupidity in missed assignments and turnovers has made me hate the player.

[Dex]

His shitty on the ball defense is bad enough but the repeated stupidity in missed assignments and turnovers has made me hate the player.

You can even see it in his reactions on the court. I think he has the intentions of doing better...but it rarely happens and his facial expression shows every time he missed a rotation or blew an assignment. It's fairly obvious he hasn't figured it out yet.

[tholdren]

Played better than murray and parker last night

[BackHome]

Bullshit

[wildbill2u]

I keep seeing Manu or Tony yelling at him as he's not defending his player or looks lost out there! He should be on the bench!

He simply doesn't have the footspeed to guard anyone. And he hasn't yet learned how to compensate by guile as many veterans do to extend their careers. Time is running out for him.

[tholdren]

Bullshit

You didnt watch then

[Ditty]

I was wrong about him in the summer league. He sucks.

[sasaint]

No, he shouldn't. He doesn't need to be taking up floor space or bench space. Maybe he can still hack it in the G-league, but his confidence is shot, and he is useless in the NBA.

[sasaint]

I have never seen any player look as defeated as Forbes does after every single missed shot.

Gary Neal was much better. For all his flaws, he was a legitimate scorer who had a pair of testes. Forbes hangs his head when he misses his freethrows. Smh

[FuzzyLumpkins]

You can even see it in his reactions on the court. I think he has the intentions of doing better...but it rarely happens and his facial expression shows every time he missed a rotation or blew an assignment. It's fairly obvious he hasn't figured it out yet.

Given that he makes the same mistakes over and over again I doubt that he ever will. He has fouled trying to grab playing over screens about a dozen times already. His awareness is just terrible.

[tholdren]

Gary Neal was much better. For all his flaws, he was a legitimate scorer who had a pair of testes. Forbes hangs his head when he misses his freethrows. Smh

Because hes slumping out. Hes an 80plus percent ft shooter in college and his rookie yr. Shooting 64 percent...

Gary neal averaged 2 more ppg than forbes. Forbes was brought here to be a better version of patty. Hes almost an identical neal.

[TimDunkem]

That's not the kind of attitude I want from a shooter, and whatever he was brought in for is besides the point. He sucks ass.

[tholdren]

That's not the kind of attitude I want from a shooter, and whatever he was brought in for is besides the point. He sucks ass.

Not really. He was brought in to be a bench scorer and a catch and shoot player when running w the starters. Hes shooting the 3 at 40 percent.

Again, not his fault spurs have no pg. But i agree the lack of skill other than shooting is why the nba is a joke.

[TimDunkem]

What are you arguing at this point? Are you saying Forbes isn't trash? Because he is.

[tholdren]

What are you arguing at this point? Are you saying Forbes isn't trash? Because he is.

If youre saying one dimensional players are worthless, then yes, hes trash and i agree with you. If you are saying hes trash but shoots a high percentage for and nba player and is still trash yes. All these things go with nba players being overrated. The nba sucks. There are only a couple great players. And even they are low bbiq

[TimDunkem]

Gtfo Forbes

[Ellsworth]

He's like a scared kitty out there on the floor... doesn't have the guts to stick a shot in his defender's face & needs to be wide open before taking one & even then it's hardly going in.
If he cannot grow some nuts & play like he belongs out there, what's the point of having him on the roster over someone like White who is pretty fearless & plays much harder defensively & offensively??

[SAGirl]

Gtfo Forbes
He will be back next season. :wakeup

He's no Dedmon and Simmons... he ain't getting a deal out there... he's going to be back.
