No way Minnesota gives us Dieng for Mills when they're loaded at PG. Tyus Jones looks good

[TheGreatYacht]

Your evaluations of players are so consistently poor that I'm wondering if LJC is actually going to be a player now.

Tell us how Alex Kirk has a nose for the ball again, got.

[LakerHater]

Kevin Martin still a Spur??

so true, a thumbs down from GY is actually a ringing endorsement.

Anybody with eyes saw all the tap outs he had. It's completely accurate and objective, unlike virtually everything you ever post.

If that were true, fathead wouldn't shoot 32% in the playoffs. Dude sucks.

[jyra]

Nice hammer play by the Twolves.

Your thread backfired literally, no one backed you up.

Thats why you stopped doing game evaluations, lol.

I agree that Kirk looked terrible - not sure he is even D-League material. Possibly lowest level of Euroball.

I don't onow this kirk dude..But is he white by any chance? Could explain the bias

I agree with TGY. OV's assessment of the game seems biased or skewed.

Kirk sucked imo. He is too lumbering and slow out there. I thought Forbes did good. He shot the ball really well last night and his stroke looks smooth. He can dribble so he's got good handles. If he keeps it up he looks like another shoot first PG in the making. KA looked about the same to me. I did notice that he is bulking up. Maybe the FO realizes he won't ever be able to keep up with the SF of the league. Simmons still at his best when he's attacking the rim. His 3 point shot was lacking and I guess his decision making is still a work in progress.

Where the was LJC and Nikola Milutinov? All of our previous draft picks were MIA. I knew Murray was gonna be there but I expected these other guys to show up.

Agreed, dude doesnt even deserve a spot in the roster. Hes slow af and except for a couple of off rebounds, he didnt do much

Kirk looked nervous af out there. He couldn't catch the ball and when he did it looked like he was confused. He definitely had a nose for the ball though. It was constantly hitting him in the face.

That being said, I think he just needs to get comfortable and settle his game down.

[Chinook]

Someone needs to piss on this fire, so it will go out.

I feel like you're looking at this whole thing the wrong way.

You two are down to arguing about stats from SL, in different years, and with different but small sample sizes?

Yeah, there's no conflict there. Acting like Leonard dominated while Anderson didn't is silly. It's silly and incredibly biased. Anderson did everything he could do this summer to show that he's not a fringe player. He seemingly patched the only hole in his offensive game. People who aren't happy with how he played are the same people who would have been unhappy no matter what.

You don't even know what instructions each player got in their SL stints, or what the team wanted to see out of each one.

They probably told them both the exact same thing, by looking at how they played.

Kawhi was CLEARLY a better player than Kyle Anderson from the beginning.

He'd've gone in the top five had that been the case. It's not a dig at him to say that he had to really develop offensively. Now, if you mean that Kawhi was more NBA-ready and even had a higher upside, I agree. But Anderson after two years is a better offensive player than Kawhi after one year (or , even two years) was.

All that point-forward bull didn't help him out.

That didn't hurt him at all.

All the talk about him replacing Manu as the first guy off the bench, and facilitating the offense (even remotely like Manu) didn't help

I agree on this. He's a completely different player than Manu. But yes, he'll be the sixth man this year or next. Saying so doesn't hurt him at all.

And talking about him being a high-post player "like LeBron"? Poop. That's like saying that Boban is a dominating NBA center, because of what he did in garbage time.

That's not a good analogy. Anderson gets his points in the same place as Lebron does, and especially as he did before he became a complete player. Lebron is not remotely the only guy who plays from that spot, but it's not a place where any recent Spurs play.

Anderson is probably going to get pressed into service more this year. We'll see how much he's developed then.

I don't think there's any pressing involved. That was his curve this whole time. He could not have traded Diaw had they not felt comfortable with Anderson.

[r0drig0lac]

Murray!!!

[SAGirl]

SAGirl, I think you are painting a best case scenario. I hope you are right. I just don't see Pop "phasing out" one of his old reliables, but I could definitely be wrong. I do think he has value in a leadership role and transmitting "Spurs Culture" to guys like Murray, who will not experience a team helmed by Timmy. On that note, I do believe that Pau is the best conceivable replacement we could get for Tim. While not steeped in Spurs Culture, he is very Spursy and will help to fill a tiny part of the leadership void.

Pau is definitely an NBA champion and a compe or. He will get on LMA for example, I am hoping, in the positive sense. That aspect of Pau I like. He won't just fold if you take my meaning.

For Manu, all this may come out like I am sour on Manu, but I am not. I am just really hoping that Pop realizes that he has to place his youngest players in a position to be successful or we are not really doing anything this season or the next.

[Ditty]

Murray looking comfortable out there now! As I said once he has a feel for the game he will be fine.

I stopped doing game evaluations because all the player fans who pass judgment ed about it. Just because you're not the only idiot doesn't mean you're not an idiot.

[Ditty]

Holy Simmons! You can't teach athleticism like that.

[robert1886]

Defense is terrible this game

[Keepin' it real]

Maybe NBATV will show the game later. That you tube link is unwatchable.

[Obstructed_View]

Holy Simmons! You can't teach athleticism like that.

The pursuit block is by far his best skill. Too bad he either has to miss a long jumper or turn the ball over in order to facilitate it.

[Chinook]

These are the worst announcers ever. Of all teams to have to hear biased commentary about, the ing Wolves?

The ESPN3 feed is really good.

Obstructed got "Tony Porker gets a 10/10 +A"

Isn't this the Lakers PbP guy?

[Hoops Czar]

Is the playoffs double elimination or one and done?

[Chinook]

Joel Myers?

[Ditty]

It is! His jumper looks better though. His feel for the game isn't very good. Needs to stop trying to do too much. He isn't that gifted.

[lilbthebasedgod]

Lol at simmons
