Church of Kyle Anderson

[tholdren]

Maybe, maybe not.

Then it really takes away from what it means to being a "pro" if he's a maybe not. Letting in too many unready players and having too many unacceptable organizations = worse view of entire league. You see that on a larger scale in summer league. Guys who literally have zero skill. They make players like Simmons and Anderson seem great - then Simmons and Anderson get worked in the "big time"

I do run a schtick with SAGirl, who's a good sport

She is, in fact, a good sport. (Assuming that "she" isn't some pot-bellied 50 year-old guy with 9 alts. ) A good while back, she spouted some stuff about a couple of players, back when they were in college, and she hadn't hat time to Google for it - so I know she's more than a casual basketball fan. Sometimes it's hard to be totally objective about a player that you really just like. Not that you would know anything about that , but I'm guilty of it. She's got a lot invested in KA, and she takes some merciless over it. I hope he steps up so much that she gets an opportunity for a lot of "I told you so's". For his sake, her sake, and the team's.

From the very beginning, I said that I thought KA could become a solid contributor at the NBA level. Not a star, but a consistent part of the rotation. I still think he could. My biggest problem is that he's such a mixed bag, and I've gotten really down on tweeners. Technically not "tweener" for Kyle, but guys who don't fit well in any defined position. And he still looks too doughy to me, to play the 4 in the NBA. Have some pride, Kyle. Get yourself some steroids and hit the weight room. Maybe a prominent brow ridge will make your forehead look less funny.

I don't care at all about her I Told You So's (sorry SAGirl), but damn, I want Kyle to succeed. This team needs him to succeed.
He has to succeed, or this team is absolutely going nowhere.

And LOL on the brow ridge... Good stuff!

I was taught to never accept free candy, so the bolded is not really a problem for me, tbh...

Everybody got their favorite guy, tbh, and it's obviously easier to defend your position when the guy is (or was) an All Star or Hall of Famer... I certainly wouldn't want to be walking in her shoes (rhetorically and otherwise, women seem to complain about their shoes all the time), and I'm not particularly a guy of faith, so, you know, I'll just wait and see. But I have no problem with player-fans, and those that do have the faith I lack. I probably won't agree about the alleged bonafides until I see them, but c'est la vie.

I see, but what if youre completely wrong?

[Mikeanaro]

I'm not particularly a guy of faith.

How can someone have faith when Matt Bonner technically is still on the team...

He is? Technically?

doesn't matter - no ones opinion does. Been wrong a million times will be wrong again.

Enjoying high school?

I did when I went. Good times. You like it, when you were there? Or are you still there?

[tholdren]

no i did not.

[tonight...you]

no i did not.

Yeah... I didn't think so. I'm sorry brother. Was it because you were ugly? Unaccepted?
I'm sure you'll say that you were smart, but that's not the case, is it?

[tholdren]

I was ugly and not accepted.

[tonight...you]

I was ugly and not accepted.

No worries, I love you bro. I get you're angry. I won't mess with you.

[tholdren]

No worries, I love you bro. I get you're angry. I won't mess with you.

thanks

[tonight...you]

thanks

Now go back to being angry at random and saying things suck.
Have at it, baby.

I think it's most definitely obvious that he's not doping. I really like his game and that's pretty much it. This really grew bc of the nature of the forums and me getting riled up easily over ppl ting on this kid while he was still getting it together... making it for quite a few laughs about it around here I am sure. By now, you can just take me as a good sport. I preach in the church but have stopped getting on guys assess about it, except Nono bc he still likes to get me riled up... and we have that thing going still, you know all that Jazz!

[skulls138]

like i give 2 s if a bench player scores against another bench player in an 82 game season in meaningless minutes.

Fan forums arent only about celebrating championships, its about predicting the future. We all know how the playoffs went down, no use harping on it, but I believe that KL is the real deal despite the playoffs and KA can be a good Spur if he gets a 3pt shot and the Spurs use him right. Im not seeing you making a call on these guys future, just telling us about the past.

Is this a LMA vs KL thing and you tire of the KL praise?

[Mikeanaro]

He is? Technically?

Yeah, so far ginger is not gone, until he does sign with some other team we are 99,99% ed.

Nope - I think LMA and KL are similar. They rely on jumpshooting for some reason - even if they are advantageous in size or proximity to basket - and in KL aspect athleticism. Its tiring to see them flounder in the early rounds of the playoffs and be heralded by ST for literally nothing. LMA has a history of this. KL is making a his legacy quite similar. The issue is - and I've said it before - KL grew more than I expected, is better than I expected, and can continue to grow. But many refuse to see his flaws and get bent out of shape then just revert to "2014"

the original post was a reply to SATranny's post about KA haters. I was commenting it was equally as dumb as her KA posts.

That play by Anderson in your sig is exemple why he's not an nba player, doesn't have the ability to go for a lay up in that supposed easy situation and instead having to go for an unconventional risky ally oop...
