Game Thread: Spurs vs Lakers -- Fri. (12/11) - 8:30PM CST (4:30AM Riga Time)

If that entry pass didn't do it that slam might've for Simmons.

Feel bad for DG at this point. He's quickly going the way of 13-14 Thabo Sefalosha

Thabo has found his role with the Hawks, though. He can still play solid D.

[LaMarcus Bryant]

Simmons is still too raw to take a starting spot.

Danny is not steve ing smith here

[BatManu20]

The Lakers have had so many open looks from 3 tonight

[TXstbobcat]

LMA!!!!!!!!

[loveforthegame]

Leonard gets no respect.

[Ron Swanson]

LMA has the jumper tonight

[SPURt]

If Pop was going to experiment with Simmons taking Danny's minutes the Lakers would be the team to do it against. He's made the most of his minutes.

[SAGirl]

Aldrige hot!

[BatManu20]

Russell going off on us

[SAGirl]

Russ lighting up Simms TBH

[Cry Havoc]

LMA.

[Brian Windhorst]

I'll say this. Simmons doesn't look like he can guard smaller guards the way Danny can. Could.

[Johnny RIngo]

Not the first time this season that Simmons and Kawhi have played great together. Might be time for Pop to finally dump Green on the bench

[FkLA]

LDN benched?

[sasaint]

Simmons feeling comfortable because the Lakers are a glorified D-league team.

I'm not so sure. He's out there yakking with teammates at free throw time, other little stuff... Plus, no matter how bad this team is, it still says "Lakers" on their jerseys. This is the real deal.

[Ron Swanson]

I spoke too soon about this quarter.

[RD2191]

Start Simmons tbh.

[dabom]

I don't know how Kawhi didn't get that foul call on kobe earlier.

This is a wake up call for Danny.

Simmons has potential for us .. real potential, but he could easily have taken the slow road and be a year away of major minutes like this.

This is more on Danny than anything else.

[TampaDude]

Spurs got this...

[SpurPadre]

Whatever happens, I still want Danny starting and guarding Curry and/or Klay on Jan. 25th.

Pop did take most of the scoring threats out. Need Bobo to take over

He's not on Danny's level for sure. He also doesn't go around screens as well, or defend the post as well.
Overall defensively there is a gap.
That Danny has been such crap offensively is the problem here.
Pop just giving a chance to Simmons to improve.
Danny better wake up.
