Official Bryn Forbes Apology Thread

[Kobe'sAchilles]

With last night's performance of great defense and 3 point spacing, I think a lot of people owe Bryn Forbes an apology. You know who ya'll are. Put some respect on the man's name instead of that Brent Formes bull.

Pop has raved about Forbes all year. RC has constantly praised Forbes. He is a locker room leader and a great teammate. TIMVP himself rated Forbes as a B and for a player making 3 million dollars, that's more than outplaying his contract. Next year I expect his contract to reflect his starting guard ability with somewhere in the 3 year 36 million dollar category.

I hope he blows out both of his achilles tbh.

[TimDunkem]

For what? Birnt Firmes fucking sucks.

[jermaine]

I seriously have nuttin against Forbes. I just want him traded.

[ZeusWillJudge]

I'm sorry Brynn. Really. I'm sorry the Spurs ever drafted your ass. I'm sorry Pop has put you in to close games over and over. I'm sorry you never learned to play defense. Sorry that you're a rabbit in the headlights when you're handling the ball.


There... I feel better already.

[SpurPadre]

Bryn Scrubs, tbh.

[sananspursfan21]

In regards to his defense: the sun shines on a dog’s ass sometimes

[sananspursfan21]

Unlike most of you guys, I like having him on the team. I just want him getting 15-20 minutes from the bench instead

[itzsoweezee]

In a vacuum, I wouldn't mind him in the team, but Patty, Marco, and Bryn are redundant. That means, Bryn should get to play only when either Lonnie or Patty is unavailable. And Bryn should never be on the court when Patty is.

I agree 100% with what you said. There’s no question that he should be starting over Lonnie. He spaces the floor and unlike Lonnie he knows where to be defensively. But Marco shouldn’t be taking Lonnies minutes. Lonnie getting about 15 minutes per game is probably for the best tbh

[spurs10]

Unlike most of you guys, I like having him on the team. I just want him getting 15-20 minutes from the bench instead You know who would agree with you is him. He doesn't relish fighting the Greek Freak under the basket I'm sure, but he did... though not as successful as DDR who had my favourite moment last night. Forbes will never be a defensive juggernaut.

[John B]

He’s alright as instant scorer, just not a starter then he’d be exposed

[sananspursfan21]

He knows his shortcomings, probably better than we do. That’s insightful. Any one of us could be him if we had an insanely accurate shot and a couple notches of added athleticism (yes, all jokes aside, he’s still significantly more athletic than most if not all posters here). And if I were in his shoes with the same talent, I’d hate guarding most of the stars too. Kudos to him for at least going at it and giving it his all. Unfortunately on the defensive end, his all just isn’t enough.

Trade him or waive him. Let someone else pay their respects.

[paperboy77]

You're gonna make me use these abbreviations these days: GTFO with that $hit!!! Forbes is a spot-guy. Every now and then he's gonna get his nut and that's ok... need that sometimes. Kiss my ass with apologies.

[dbestpro]

Unlike most of you guys, I like having him on the team. I just want him getting 15-20 minutes from the bench instead

How about 5-10?

[paperboy77]

Absolute tops!

[sananspursfan21]

Best I can do is 12.

[Spurtacular]

You guys make a point in a roundabout way. ST never really hated Bryn even with his obvious flaws.

Gregg playing this guy starter minutes to the detriment of a rising star like IV is what is setting people off.

The problem is Gregg. The symptom is Forbes.

[Spurtacular]

Any one of us could be him if we had an insanely accurate shot and a couple notches of added athleticism (yes, all jokes aside, he’s still significantly more athletic than most if not all posters here).

This makes me think about how the NBA has opened itself up for undersized shooters. I can't honestly say Forbes is a better player than I was in my prime. Maybe, he's better; but it's close enough that I wouldn't willingly concede it.

It’s hard to watch, but fun in a sense because I can kinda imagine myself as Forbes. I’m actually a pretty similar stature to him. 6’3, thin but with some bulk, I think I’ve got him beat in arm and leg length fwiw. I wanna say I would have been more athletic than he is before my ACL tear at 16, but it’s never been surgically repaired so even now I can’t risk complete lateral movement and leaping ability I know I’m capable of. So Forbes is head and shoulders above me athletically and probably always was, just living in the past here :lol

But again, with all jokes aside, I couldn’t touch his shot. I was never a shooter until now in pick up games. I was the guy who overly relied on speed, hang time, and length to get my points, I guess like a way smaller scale Antetokounmpo. Where’d you play ball?

Unfortunately on the defensive end, his all just isn’t enough.
Have you seen him take a charge like Patty does? I don’t think so. The game in Milwaukee, I don’t remember which player, but instead of Bryn taking the charge, he quickly turned around and covered the back of his head. Normally Patty would take the charge in the same play. I applaud Bryn for what he has accomplished. Kudos to him. But he’s not a starter and should only be instant scorer from the bench. Him starting is taking away minutes from Lonnie, and depriving the team much needed defense and physicality.

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

The troll is strong with this one.

[TimDunkem]

How about 5-10?

He'll score 5 points and give up 10 in that time.

Forbes is a detriment at any amount of PT unless he's the 13 man coming in during garbage time.

[r0drig0lac]

How about 5-10?

and about 3 min?

[ZeusWillJudge]

and about 3 min?


With Patty getting more minutes, the team really needs someone to pick up the towel-waving duties. I think he'd be more effective doing that in a suit.

He's absolutely hopeless out there. Looks like an average joe trying to guard elite athletes. One screen takes him completely out of the play. Can't stay in front of anyone. Has the whole "put your hand up so it looks like you're contesting" thing down to a tee even though he's a midget with t-rex arms.

If he's able to hit the 3's, then it would be mathematically okay. You figure he hits the 3's, and gives away 2's.

OK , I'm sorry Mr. Forbes...that you ain't an NBA caliber player. However you make a good pet to someone who loves his favourites so I'll give him that.

[JeffDuncan]

It's appalling what Coach Pop is doing to Bryn. Pop has now proven how well his Bench for Greatness method works. Lonnie proves it, obviously. But will Pop allow Bryn to benefit from his coaching breakthrough? Hell no! Why not? The only reason has to be that Pop just hates Bryn.

:pop: Bryn, get the fuck away from that bench and get in the game. I only use my Bench for Greatness technique with players I care about, like Lonnie. That does not include you! There's no chance I'd bench the likes of you so you'd get better, you little rat! Fuck you, you're starting, whether you like it or not. So go on, get away from that bench and get out there in the game! Git!

Pop knows perfectly well that by using his Bench for Greatness technique, and benching Bryn for about 25 to 30 games, he could make Bryn a DPOY candidate. But Pop won't do it. He hates Bryn too much to bench him and give him a chance. As long as Pop is in charge there's nothing to be done about it. It's sad, it's truly sad.

[KobesAchilles]

Bump

Dude gets a lot of shit on here but he's been doing what a bench player should do. He comes in, plays hard, hits shots, and spaces the floor (whether he makes them or not). Our other back up SG doesn't play a lick of defense either so I don't want to hear any bitching about his defense.

Serious question. Does Lonnie need to be cut from the rotation? I say yes. Give Bryn 20 minutes a game and Primo 12-15 minutes a game and then play Lonnie situationally. Bryn and primo have both shown they can make an open 3. Mr. 28% meanwhile has been a clusterfuck on both sides of the ball.

[TimDunkem]

No...just no. He is one of the worst defenders in the league, he is a target on that end, makes costly mistakes, pouts when he does something wrong, and isn't even that fucking good of a shooter anyway.

He. Fucking. Sucks.

I am truly sorry that I had to witness Forbes in a Spurs jersey during an actual NBA game. I am sorry that as a huge fan of defense, I have had to watch his efense for years now, pure torture. I am sorry that Pop went senile and brought that sad sack of suck back to the roster.

[Leetonidas]

Is this a troll thread? Or is OP actually serious?

[KobesAchilles]

It originally started as a troll thread but my current post is quite serious. We should keep Lonnie on the bench

How McNugget can evade criticism on this forum while being a worse defender than Forbes is beyond me. Even worse, he's paid 42 million over the next three years whiles Forbes will be gone next season. No coincidence the starting lineup has played much better since Doug's injury. Easily the worst Spurs signing in quite some time(yes, worse than the Fatty Mills midnight signing)

[Slippy]

Just for accuracy..Defensively Lonnies having his best season so far while bryn is still shithouse. If we were to compare the two on that end. Didnt need stats to see it but glad to see that list confirming what is happening on the court.

Its the offense this season. His midrange and outside three has been non-existent and as result its impacting his shot selection. Needs to drive more .

[Slippy]

Lonnies shot numbers wise is the worst it's ever been this season . He getting more open looks and the touches have been there. Cant explain the struggle tbh but i dont think its too late turn it around.

Pop is showing more faith in him than us fans for sure.

[The Truth #6]

McLovin’ is easily our worst contract so it could be worse. Still early days and he possess a skill set we desperately need so I’m still hopeful he can step it up when he is healthy and more comfortable with the system.

Man, thank fucking God for stats. Absolutely objective and, utilized correctly, a great tool for any analysis.

:lol Forbes' and Lonnie's defense being the same. They're nowhere close. Sad to see Lonnie struggling, but as posters have said, it's mostly on the offensive end, which is strange but definitely not a death sentence, especially considering he had a better offensive season last year, and no significant injuries in between (meaning there's no physical reason he couldn't get back to that level, or better, unlike White for example, who suffered significant injuries recently).

Last game was the best one can hope from Pop and Forbes. Played sparingly and only when needed, and then he went Steve Kerr. Unfortunately, this scenario won’t happen often.

[John B]

I have nothing against Bryn but we’ve seen what he could do and should not be part of a rebuilding team. His minutes should be going to Tre, and to Lonnie who needs to show more in his contract year. I’m really hoping Joe would get that spot up shooter minutes next year. He at least is a lot athletic and would not be a defensive liability. I’m just hoping Joe is working on his shooting, because I cannot bear to see Bryn in a Spur uniform for another year.
