Frankly what is up with this body language from him every time Teague gets past him or gets fouled. :spin

Because he knows that he doesn’t possess the skills or strength to play defense against a decent PG so he has no other reaction than to clap his hands and rack up fouls. This dude is gonna foul out most nights, and its not like he hits shots when it matters during real games anyway that would make his presence on the floor some what worth while. I know the Spurs are treating this as a sink or swim situation but if this PG shit isn’t figured out by Christmas time they are really gonna have a hard time making it into the playoffs this season.

He looks frustrated , there were some bogus calls against him too. He wasn't even that bad on Teague, he contested most of those, and some the rotations were slow in the paint.
this is Forbes contract year, he is gaining or losing millions based on whether he can improve on defense and hit shots. I don't know, I'm sure pop can see whatever we see and that shouldn't be an issue. Hard to imagine bigger stakes for him. Will see how it goes when he gets the impossible assignments like Curry and Westbrook.

He’s always been this way, he gets all pouty when something doesn’t go his way.
He’s mentally soft and has a loser mentality.

:pop:: as long as he makes his shots during practice then he can do whatever he wants during actual games
He looks frustrated , there were some bogus calls against him too. He wasn't even that bad on Teague, he contested most of those, and some the rotations were slow in the paint.
He's like this every game, though. He pouts when he blows an assignment, or misses shots, or gets bad calls.
I understand that that he is trying his best and is showing genuine frustration, but opponents feed off of that.
It's like guys in pickup ball who constantly berate themselves and have no confidence. People don't want to play with guys like that, they want to play against them.

It doesn't seem like there's any even attempt by PATFO to consider anyone else off the waiver wire. I mean seriously, any available PG out there should automatically be better than Forbes. He is THAT atrocious.

I think he got a 2 year deal iirc. I don't know if both years are guaranteed though.
----------------------------------
FWIW I thought Patty was even worse than Forbes on his so called defense, but Bryn was deflated every time. I guess it's going to be part of the experience of watching him play. Same as some guys yell or make gestures after dunks or 3s or what not. But in Bryn's case is the frustration body language.

He is hard on himself that's for sure. Can be both good and bad depending on how fast he processes and compartmentalizes those emotions. On the plus side though it shows he knows he can do better!

Forbes is a mental midget & he's a midget on the court in today's league as well. All we can hope is he hits his open 3's, cuz he ain't good for anything else. It was funny listening to the TWolves broadcast saying that he is a good defender. Lmao. Generally speaking Spur founded players are so overrated.
Chinook
10-19-2018, 04:27 PM
Forbes is very emotional when he plays. He was very loud during his summer-league run, good or bad. Bryn wears his heart on his sleeve, which isn't normal for Spurs, but I think it's a reason why Pop seems to love him. He plays hard and practices hard. You want guys like that on the team. Too bad he just doesn't have the physical attributes.

Eh, tbh, I don't mind Forbes getting mad when he makes a mistake on defense. As the great Avery Johnson once said, it's easier to tame a lion than to hype up a pussycat.
I only mind when Forbes hangs his head after missing a shot and doesn't get back on defense. Or when he gets mad at missing a free throw and then passes up the next open jumper. To his credit, I didn't see that in the first game of the season.

lol I could imagine Avery in his Cajun accent saying that. And yes I agree, those reactions are pretty normal for someone who expects a lot out of themself. Better than some reaction than a Harden/Melo-esque who gives a fuck reaction.

Since it has become an issue I think we all look for that. Surprisingly, in the first game I think he did a better job of not hanging his head after mistakes. Got mad, clapped his hands, but didn't hang his head as much. 1/82. Lets see where this goes. His defense can improve, but he is a work in progress like most of the new guys.
This all being said, Lillard is going to light him up on Saturday. I hope he keeps moving and makes his shots to keep the pressure on Lillard.
Giving that Jeff Errors clap tbh. :lol

I counted 5 plays that Teague scored or got FTs on Forbes. One of them was really well defended and Teague just made a tough shot. The foul call was also really well defended and it could be argued that Forbes got screwed with the foul call. The others Teague used screens.
But let's keep perpetuating this myth that Forbes is a turnstyle on defense. :rolleyes

Agree. I thought his demeanor was quite improved, and I thought he acquitted himself very well for a guy of his experience playing out of position.

Exactly. This is my main beef with bringing him back as opposed to taking a flyer on a Gleague player. He's got a good mechanical shot but the fact of the matter is that this guy can't get out of his own head and just play basketball. Its been obvious for years. He's not going to develop a killers mentality all of a sudden.

Forbes shouldn't be guarding pgs. I think he would do well with most sg's in the league, outside the better ones. Considering he is a backup sg and wouldn't usually be up against starting sg's for lengthy stretches. He has a tough body, works hard, contests well. But faster guards just blow by him and the extra muscle he put on probably doesn't help. I suspect Pop and co told him to put the muscle on because it would help him, but little did they know he would be playing point the first 8 weeks of the season.

SpursTalk needs someone to bitch about, and Forbes is the easiest candidate.
He had a rough game against Teague, but Mills was worse. And he made a pretty big defensive play on a post entry pass to get the steal in crunch time. Watching the game, it wasn't as bad as I'd feared.
Like it or not, there isn't an obvious upgrade out there, so may as well root for the young man until White returns.

People are really mad a bit player got paid peanuts to temporarily start as the head coach tries to figure workable line-ups and after seeing two point guards go down due to injury. Defense is expected but not his forte. He was paid to shoot and score primarily. For $3.5M or so I’m not sure what the fan base expects. I really want the FO to just roll out Blossomgame to start just to see some malcontents stop talking.
The body language complaint is stupid. You know who else "pouts" all the time after getting scored on? Klay Thompson. Really who gives a shit.
:lol at taking a flyer on a Gleague player instead of him. Last two guys that looked as dominant in Summer League for the Spurs as Bryn did ended up being legit rotation player. Forbes will do the same.

Yes. That's what keeping your cool is. We only watched Tim do it for 20 years.
And let's stop ignoring the fact that Forbes does this ALL the time. It's been mentioned time and time again that he does it after every missed shot. His poor body language stands out, and NBA players sense that.
