Clearly you don't care. Like, clearly.
Yeah, when you go out saying we should discuss "exactly" how many minutes they'll play, you don't get a threshold.Good lord.
Six minutes a game is the minimum, I'd say. Three minutes each half is enough to bridge the gaps for the top three guys. I'd even go so far as to say that he'd have to get those minutes in the majority of the games (barring injury) for him to count as a rotation player. So 4-4-4-6-3-15 wouldn't count even though that averages out to six MPG.Ok, what is your "threshold"
Yeah, I get a hissy fit.
Why was that so difficult?Six minutes a game is the minimum, I'd say. Three minutes each half is enough to bridge the gaps for the top three guys.

Blake, let's just be clear. You don't seem to get anything, really. You act like a mix of Kobyz and Chump.
It wasn't. You didn't ask that question until just now. You've been trying to get a number for Anderson's mpg, not the minimum number of minutes a 10th man needs to play. Entirely different questions, with different answers.Why was that so difficult?
This is starting to look like the jimmer thread. Goalposts being moved every day, dogged refusal to admit defeat about a marginal player
You act like this topic is important enough to get hung up on semantics instead of just shooting the about Kyle.
Don't you think that's hypocritical, seeing as you keep insisting on people giving exact predictions rather than just discussing the other questions you posed? , you called me a coward for not giving an exact number. How the is that laid-back?
If you're insisting Kyle is needed to play, I'm just asking for your opinion on how many minutes you think he'll get. That's about it.
If you're too cowardly to back it up, that's on you. I'm calling you cowardly from as laid back a position as I can take.
The other part is that it's entertaining to watch you guys get all mad and build up these walls of text instead of just giving some number (s).
Indeed.
I only stated initially he would play, and I said that weeks b4 the playoffs started, when guys started to try to make me seem like a fool.
I thought he'd play bc he had averaged over 20 minutes per game from February on, after the RRT, when the team historically emerges with a playoff iden y and while seed wasn't established. Games that really mattered, he helped us win. Then Pop stated he was giving him all these minutes to get him ready to be a "real contributor in this league." Pop never benched him after Kmart's arrival either. If anything, he pushed Kyle harder. He played in all of our markee games and started a bunch of games bc either Kawhi was ill or resting, Danny was resting, and he got minutes at the 4 when Boris was coasting or injured, even when he's still perhaps too underweight for it, and very young. Pop continued to call his number against guys he was overmatched against like Durant and Nowitzky. He's been pushed to develop all season, with some urgency IMO. That is why you saw guys complaining about all the rest affecting Kawhi, Danny and whoever else. On the one hand, Pop wanted to get as many minutes as possible to get Kmart comfortable with the system, on the other, he never quit pushing Kyle to develop.
Then, Pop stated after the final game of the season when asked whether Kyle would figure in the playoff rotation, that he had played Kyle all season, and he didn't see a reason to bench him now. True to his statement Kyle has played. Its ironic that all the forum warriors here see more reason to bench Kyle than Pop has.
Now, we have a veteran team and Pop may shorten rotations in close games. At the same time, we have an old team, and he's not playing a whole series that way. In addition, there are foul situations, (did you catch Manu with 5 fouls in 13 minutes of play time in a close out game?), and lineup problems presented by other teams. The league has increasingly gone to perimeter oriented lineups, a reality that Pop was trying to get Kyle ready for, that is why he's emphasized rebounding so much. When you lose a center in favor of additional guards or a SF, rebounding and rim protection go out the window, thus Kyle was pushed to emphasize, defense and rebounding above all else.
Anyways, I am already yapping too much.
I don't care about Blake's established rules by himself that he gets to change whenever he pleases. I only cared that Kyle got playoff experience and opportunities to help the team. Kyle is already a part of the playoff rotation and will continue to play in some form. According to my standards this issue is already lost for Blake and Kyle haters. All that is left is hoping he plays well when his number is called and that he helps us to a championship. Personally that is all I cared about.
The number of minutes is completely irrelevant though, especially past a logical threshold. The question before you decided to try to quantify things was whether Pop would keep an expanded rotation and then, as you identified, whether he'd go with a vet over Anderson. None of that requires an exact number. You don't really seem to want to contribute to that discussion, which is why people aren't readily engaging you.
It's actually pretty anal. Like if I said, "The Spurs will beat GS handily", is it cowardly to not give a specific differential? Not really. Most of us just don't think in those terms, and we don't want to start just to please you.If you're too cowardly to back it up, that's on you. I'm calling you cowardly from as laid back a position as I can take.
I know you think this. But it's actually really sad. You're a bad troll, relatively easy to ignore while completely lacking nuance. You don't tie people up in knots with your reasoning or your questions. Well, maybe you get SAG, but that's only because the poor woman still tries to engage everyone honestly. The only thing that your "Wall of text" critiques do is expose your reluctance to read anything of substance. I don't know where you come from where you think that bragging about not be willing to read 100 words is cool, but it's mad unenviable.The other part is that it's entertaining to watch you guys get all mad and build up these walls of text instead of just giving some number (s).
this serie is quite meaningless as regards as minutes, stats etc... tbh but Kyle did not do much with his 17 mpg, he had been pretty terrible in fact
Frankly you don't care about this thread. Like, at all.
More like I don't care about you probably.
Anderson is worse than Bonner
So i saw him come in in the first q, but he din't do anything and probably got yanked. but hey........
He's playing great defense on KD
heck of a game for anderson so far. keep it up.
He has the length of Durant. Sooooo why not
This was EXACTLY what I was talking about. I think pretty much everyone thought Kyle did a decent job in Game 1. Good enough that you would have expected him to get at least 15 minutes tonight. Pop gives him exactly 5:11.
It was never a matter of whether Kyle was good enough to play - not to me anyway. Just whether Pop would give him regular minutes in the playoffs. We couldn't base much on the Round 1 landslide. But this looks a whole lot like what I said might happen.
Kyle got 30 secs in a close game then got subbed out in game 1 then back in with a huge lead. Nothing to see here.
Nice block of Westbrook.
Rung up by ref for coming too close to Westchucks vag.
Close game... Anderson with 5 mn delivering nothing... yup
