Obviously bad shooting night. It happens to everyone.
I will bet Apo's account if Kyle has at least 1 fanduel point next game

It wasn't the only one. More like this one is the anomaly. More like one bad game and the haters pounce.One good game and some people think he's great...idiots
It almost seems like they are rooting for KA to fail.It wasn't the only one. More like this one is the anomaly. More like one bad game and the haters pounce.
The more bad games he has, the louder these myopic trolls become with their posts.
I appreciate your comment and insight. To me it was a bad shooting night. He didn't get his jump shots to fall early and that set the tone. The 3 was a good look and it just rimmed in and out. He wasn't as passive as he'd been in the past despite the cold shooting. It happens to everyone.
Wasn't even that bad of a game... Bad shooting night, but they weren't bad shots. Assist number would have been higher if guys were making shots and Patty wasn't running the show into the ground as fast as he could while he was out there. Kyle's biggest strength right now anyway is playing with guys that can capitalize off of his playmaking, especially ones that can make cuts (Manu/Kawhi), but that's not what we were running with tonight. That's why he should start against gs though... He'll steady feed Kawhi and LaMarcus the way they should be. Also because Patty has been lately and TP can play that role off the bench a million times better right now.
ST has gotten so full of bad trolls and depressed, self-defeating gots that it's ridiculous. These idiots could have 15 '96 Jordan's on this team and still find something to cry about every night.
Obviously if they pounce on Tony when he's cold shooting, expect some to pounce on Kyle too. He's a spur, the trolls feast on bad games lol it's what they live for.
That said he will bounce back from this. He's not this bad of a shooter. It's an anomaly. He will have better games in the playoffs when it matters.
There are some guys who just love to troll no matter who it is except a favorite player (for some reason a lot of Tony fans hate on everyone else). Others have picked up a schtick against him early in the season and now they are invested in their trashy take.
They won't shut up bc everyone has a bad game from time to time and for a developing player it will be up and down as he works through his game. Bad shooting nights happen to every one. Not much more to say.
Wouldn't mind seeing Pop around with the starting lineup, by letting Kyle run the point Sunday, tbh. It's a meaningless game after all..
Wasn't playing PG here, weren't you watching Patty Mills the PG in this case?
At this point, I'd rather see him at PG vs. Golden State, tbh
From watching this season, I would take Kyle over Parker as starting PG.
He rebounds better, Passes better and defends better than Parker.
He's not a pure scorer like Parker, but Parker's scoring has went to the entire 2nd half of season.
I would start Kyle over Parker tomorrow.
That's just my general assessment of him.
Oh ok.sorry I misunderstood. I ultimately have no idea what Pop has in mind for him since he's,played all over. One thing is clear, Pop wants him to develop the post up game. But that works for any spot.
Fathead is fine tbh. Next year will be more definitive for if he's a piece to build with or just a periphery bench player.
Some over-react after a good game, some over-react after a bad game.
Kyle's natural position...is PG. Not Forward. Trying to fit round peg into a square hole is nothing but frustrating...to everyone concerned.
He's ok. He's not like Simmons, with that d-league mentality "gotta get det contract" slave rage out of ing control black anger .
What do you see in his future? I don't think I see Pop letting him be a PG from whatever spot he wants to slot him at. Same as Manu is a SG in spot but plays PG next to a "PG" who in reality is a SG. I probably invite a lot of trolling with this but I don't think we lose that game had Kyle been the PG at the end. Ppl like to hate but we haven't lost a close game out of those he played to close it out ever. They were not this close, but the Pelicans game at home, he made the last offensive shot-controlled hot clock, pace, no TO. The Lakers game he played instead of Kawhi he closed out. Kyle doesn't TO the ball in fact many guards gamble fir the steal leaving him an open drive, pass or fouling him. He has the overambitious passes, but not the TO bc they picked the ball up from him.
Is Pop ever going to play him at his natural spot?
That's the million dollar question, eh?
If Pop was inclined to do that, this would have been the perfect game for it. If Kyle is going to be given the chance to excel in this league, he has to be given the chance to play at what he does best. I'm sure college coaches had the same view..."too slow & tall to be a PG."
Personally, I would start Kyle as PG. Or, at least, bring him off the bench quick depending on Parker's game-du-jour.
Starting lineup would look like this: (just this year tho)
C/F - LMA
PF - Diaw
SF - Kawhi
SG - Green (or possibly Patty to add quickness/3 point shooting to this unit)
PG - Kyle
Second Lineup:
C/F - Duncan
PF - West (cuz I think he plays better with Duncan)
SF - Manu
SG - Patty (or Green to add perimeter D to this unit)
PG - Parker
This would be kinda cool, because the 2nd unit has played together for a LOT of years, lol. What they lack in youth, they can make up some in experience and cohesion. The issue, as I'm sure you figured out, would be Parker. Still, I haven't seen Parker really gel with the new starting lineup and guys. He's not as good in working with ISO guys. Give him Manu and Tim on the 2nd unit...who knows? I'd think Parker would be much more active with them.
Anyway, I would love to see Kyle given the opportunity to play his natural position. I know he could do it if given the chance. I'd hate to see a "woulda, coulda, shoulda" asterisk by his name in the future.

You mean bench being his natural spot? Let me know when you have seen a PG, who is non-scoring, play 34 minutes jack up crap shots (1-9) and only have 2 assists. PG is the last position he needs to play.

He rebounds better, Passes better and defends better than Parker.

can he defend point guards??
I would start Kyle over Parker tomorrow.
how about:
Diaw, LMA, Kawhi, Martin and Kyle???
unusual, but experimental, hehehhe
the question is:
IS POP WILLING TO EMBRACE INNOVATION?? ( the idea of Kyle as PG)
I agree. At the risk of inflaming the morons, if Parker isn't penetrating OR passing, then he's a huge hindrance to the offense. Strange as it sounds, the player on the Spurs who physically dominates opponents most is KA. Danny Green can defend point guards, so cross matching isn't a problem. Kyle is a willing post player, especially when there's a mismatch.At this point, I'd rather see him at PG vs. Golden State, tbh
Tony Parker did it twice the first year he started. Once against the Clippers and once against the Jazz. The Spurs won both games.
So you're saying that Tony Parker and Patty Mills are better defenders than Danny Green then?
