That's what I talking about. Even the dumbest person can do that on his own.
I don't know.. Managing a savings account isn't exactly rocket science..

Your GF must be an expert at spotting dumb. Was she taken aback by Anderson's unwillingness to order the "The Heroes of the Conferderacy" personalized checks?
This will come down as who can make more of the open 3pt shoots they had. Anderson or Simmons, because Belinelli didnīt defend but he played because defenses respected his shoot and that is something.
So if they are smart, both end of the bench players will practice their shooting waiting for their chance.
Or they are both idiots.
DJR210's GF said Kyle was dumb, so, we got inside info.
I've said it all along, and I'll say it again: Anderson is not an NBA-level player, and could probably get shut down by certain guys with footspeed that play pick-up games at the local duck pond. Play Rasual Butler... he's more than an adequate Belinelli replacement as he defends better.
I wouldn't say it's a bad article but made too many assumptions after only four games.
It is too early to tell about a lot of things, BUT if you are looking for something to write about...this wasn't a bad choice. It is just based on faulty data.
Belinelli's time & shooting, so far.
Kings loss to the Clippers, 31:57 minutes, 9 pts, all from the arc (3 of 7).
Kings win at the Lakers ( gots), 22:12 minutes, 6 pts, one from the arc (1 of 5), one FG, one FT.
Kings loss to the Clippers, 28:04 minutes, 11 pts, 1 of 2 from the arc, 2 of 8 overall, 6 of 6 FT.
Kings loss to the Grizzlies, 24:56 minutes, 12 points, made 2 of 3 from the arc.
He's averaging 9.5 pts per game, and he's 7 of 17 from three. Playing mid-twenties in minutes per.
FYI
Pop needs to stick with rotations and stop ing around. He needs to let KA develop in the NBA not the D League. Pop ed with Cojo way too much which is why Cojo was somewhat underwhelming here in SA. He'd start him, bench him, bench him for Mills. Too much bull from Pop imo.
Player fan take.
This is just a bad take this article. Its not so much KA and Butler, its that LMA and West need to get acclimating to the system as well. West problem is right now is he is not in the shape needed to play in the Spurs system which is constant movement on both the offensive and defensive ends of the floor. He is literally gasping for air at times.
Spurs need to time to gel as a unit and this is month is prime for that as the Spurs have a relatively easy schedule. Manu rest will come, but cmon, its the 4TH GAME OF THE SEASON.
This is the reason I said keeping Butler was critical. It allows both KA and Simmons to develop more this system and still let Manu rest more.
I hope you're not going to imply that Jimmer would have been any better of a defensive option.
Well I wouldn't be surprised seeing as Spurtacular is a huge got.
You heard it here first.
For some reason I thought this was barely the 2nd week of the season.. Is it March already man that was fast!
The answer is clearly to throw Simmons a bone and into the fire so he can acclimate to providing us solid minutes.
He has slashing ability.
I think it was obvious last season and during the offseason that Anderson isn't an NBA player. Making room for Aldridge led the Spurs to have holes in the SF and C positions. SF wasn't too strong to begin with as the Spurs have lacked a true back up SF since probably Leonard and Sjax were on the same team.
Currently though the minutes distributions seem pretty good. Duncan and Parker are playing under 30 minutes, Ginobili is getting around 20 minutes, and Leonard and Aldridge are getting the highest minutes but they are still under 35 minutes per game. One injury though would completely derail the minute management plan. Really hope Butler and Mccollum step up and get more minutes before that happens.
A shame we didn't trade up to get rondae Hollis Jefferson, he would fill the backup 3 role nicely. Is playing pretty well so far in Brooklyn
I have no idea what in this off-season gave the impression that Anderson couldn't hang. It sure wasn't he Summer League MVP or the fact that he was the best player in at least one pre-season game. , people are crazy for even thinking he's been all that bad in the regular season. Pop's rotation isn't shortened because he doesn't trust Anderson and West. It's shortened so they top eight can build chemistry.
Frankly, not worried about KA yet. Let's see what he does once the team's chemistry on the bench actually forms.
Two man lineups of 1-2-3s having played 5+ minutes together, minutes played, and point differential per 48 minutes. A few things:
Against certain teams, you can get away playing two smaller guys - Parker and Mills looked okay together against the Knicks (numbers below look good too) and I'd be okay with McCallum running with one of them for stretches. This will be imperative to keep Manu fresh if Anderson isn't going to be useful.
Two worst lineups have been Mills-Anderson and Ginobili-Anderson, though likely overlap between these two so double counting. Very small sample size, but pretty telling that Kyle's been the black hole. Will be interesting to see how this plays out 15-20 games in.
Min P48 +/- Parker - Ginobili 24.0 40.0 Parker - Mills 7.9 36.5 Parker - Anderson 10.5 32.0 Ginobili - Butler 11.0 30.5 Ginobili - Green 20.0 21.6 Mills - Leonard 46.0 18.8 Ginobili - Leonard 32.1 16.4 Mills - Butler 13.4 14.3 Parker - Leonard 92.9 13.4 McCallum - Anderson 7.2 13.3 Mills - Green 36.0 10.7 McCallum - Butler 6.0 8.0 Green - Leonard 86.9 6.6 Parker - Green 76.2 4.4 Butler - Anderson 6.3 0.0 Mills - Ginobili 56.3 (1.7) Ginobili - Anderson 18.5 (23.4) Mills - Anderson 13.1 (51.3)
Cool data, man. Obviously, sample size is an issue, but it's frankly amazing how bad Mills-Anderson has been, since you'd think that would actually be a decent pairing. It's also fascinating to see Parker/Manu do so well and see Green/Leonard be so mediocre.
