Kyle Anderson Full Game Highlight VS Memphis Grizzlies (13Points, 7Assists, 4 Steals)

[look_at_g_shred]

Kyle does a worse job as backup than Cojo as a 3rd stringer got.

Kyle is Kawhi's immediate backup. Try again.

Kyle wants to play in the postseason and he worked really hard for that opportunity. With all the development opportunities he's gotten recently, unlike you I am inclined to think he's earned it. What he does with his time once he's there is probably going to be under close scrutiny, and in a short leash but Pop said prior to the game he was evaluating players for the postseason and Kyle went out and looked like the Spurs 2nd best player after LMA and played 36 minutes. POP said: He's a good player and has been doing that all season. (In my mind that's an explanation for newcomers to the team that the decision to play Kyle is not solely based on that game. He has shown up every time we are shorthanded).

This is when I cue the 12-1 streak we went into when playing without Manu, Tim and a few games Kawhi. Last season that would have been a loosing skid like the one we had in December but it wasn't bc he showed up like he did in this case. POP has grown to trust him.

Who's minutes will kyle be taking?

[look_at_g_shred]

Lol no, he won't get more than a handful of minutes at best in June unless there's injury or blowout

Maybe. There's no telling with Pop though.

Because we don't have another SF yous stupid .

[look_at_g_shred]

Because we don't have another SF yous stupid .

Who else gets the minutes then?

[dabom]

Who else gets the minutes then?

Green usually you dumbass. He slides over and Manu plays SG.

[dabom]

Kyle played ZERO minutes in last years playoffs. KA was the only backup SF and never played. We just played other SGs out of position last year.

[look_at_g_shred]

Green usually you dumbass. He slides over and Manu plays SG.

We'll see. I'm all for KA to play only if it's a plus for us. If not, I couldn't care less. As long as we win.

I think the last Charlotte box score is going to be a pretty decent indicator of the playoff rotation.

Just add the 7 minutes that Kyle got to Boris minutes and we're set

[SAGirl]

Who's minutes will kyle be taking?

Hes backing up Kawhi. That was his role and has been since Simmons lost Pop's trust. He given minutes to get Martin acclimtted, the same way others have given minutes or been rested to get Miller acclimated, but Martin didn't show to be a better player than him and Miller is not going yo backup Kawhi. Easy peasy.

[100%duncan]

People wanting this guy to play past 2nd round will get really disappointed whether he will play or not

Lol Martin and Miller are like TMac. Simmons will get similar minutes to Kyle.

Pop used a 9 man rotation vs the Clips in game 7 last year. No reason to see him change that.

Tim, Kawhi, Tony, Aldridge, Manu, Boris, Patty, Danny, and West. That's about it in playoff crunch time.

I'm not the coach so you don't have anything to worry about. Not hating, just my opinion...

[SAGirl]

I think if they value him for the future they have to give him a chance. These guys are ppl and bust their assets for the coach. Win him games he could have lost without key players. You have to reward that effort, now if he goes out there and he can't handle the pressure that is another matter.

That is the part that is entirely opinion. You think he's not ready. Me, I think he's a compe or and will bust his was at the role you give him and will not disappoint. But the opportunity, he's earned that TBH.

he won't play crunch time, but he will play.

[Blake]

Put a number on minutes per game in the 2nd round vs OKC.

[Blake]

I think if they value him for the future they have to give him a chance.

No they don't. They have every right to do what it takes to win right now.

If they value him for the future, they'll pay him.

[SAGirl]

Put a number on minutes per game in the 2nd round vs OKC.

I will not, but his playing time against OKC was not a fluke and we managed to hang for most of that game but the the 3rd Q, severely understaffed at all positions as we were. If anything, he looked better than Danny, Martin, Patty, even Diaw, while he was facing the toughest matchup save those who were rape by Russie. The only one who looked better was Simms ans he got going with easy dunks off Kyle's passes and the bulk if his scoring was in garbage time.

Simmons showed he can play against that bench. I think he may have even earned himself playing time against that matchup in the bench if it wasn't bc he been so unreliable. That game was not a waste of time according to Pop either.

[Blake]

I will not

Why not?

[SAGirl]

Why not?

bc its pointless.

He has to play well in the first round and continue to earn his coach's trust. I am arguing he's earned a chance to do that.

[Blake]

Well I think he plays in the first round because Utah blows.

Does he already have enough trust to play meaningful minutes in later rounds or not

[Sean Cagney]

Nice......

[kobyz]

Kyle lack confident, this past week he actually gave up on open layups for a riskier alley oop passes, that's bad...

[TrainOfThought5]

He had a good game, tbh... I still wouldn't give him one playoff minute after the 1st round, based on his body of work throughout this season...

My hopes for him are only slightly less than SAGirl and i completely agree.
