I hope he gets zero minutes in the playoffs.

[skulls138]

Worst offensive player on the team. Can't get a rebound 5 feet away from him and gets blocked by pg s on fast breaks.

You only latch on to negative things and make them be the only thing. Hes a great rebounder for his size, youre just making the OKC series the only thing the Spurs have ever done. Of course he also needs a consistent 3 pt shot and he also needs a chance to be a point guard or point forward. Other than that hes tied with Manu as best passer, and thats saying something, and he can come up with a score when the team really needs one....other than the OKC series. This is his year to show us, we shall see.

Also...whats so funny all the time???

These ty posts are funny brah.

And no, he can't facilitate like Manu. It gets worse than Tony running the offense. No joke.

He practices with the squad all the time. He would play pg not in the summer league if he actually had NBA playmaking skills.

This SOB said Fathead is on Par with Manu as best passer on the team.

Also he wasn't free to take shots in that series. They didn't run anything for him, didn't go to him at any point and were content to let other guys take shots. Not saying they should have gone to him when he was guarded by Durant but the Spurs screen for each other to get mismatches all the time and they were content to let him be parked in a corner somewhere while other guys were the man and failed, notably Mills, Manu and D west. Daboom is getting old scapegoating that series on Kyle when he didn't have the ball and he wasn't involved in what they were doing, maybe a huge mistake by Pop. And rebounds and boxing out was as much his responsibility as everyone else's in that group and probably were highest on the bigs who were outplayed and outmuscled.

He's probably indeed a key guy for the Spurs gelling in the future but he has been underutilized by Pop. Maybe to be humbled, maybe to improve defensively, maybe to improve his shooting. Pop had his reasons, but he didn't really take advantage of Kyle in the playoffs. It was other guys' show. It wasn't his role to make stuff happen, maybe to Pop's blame.

Anderson made vast improvements last season. I agree, he was not part of the offense with the exception that when the shot clock was running down that he had the green light to create offense.

I don't think though he was ready to be part of the offense last year.

This coming year he may have more responsibilities, but I just don't see him having enough talent to replace Parker or Ginobili in orchestrating the offense. He's a smart player, but I just don't see him having to developed championship level IQ with just 3 years in the league.

Who is a better passer than fathead except for Manu? Serious question.

Well he really barely played with these teammates his rookie season and he improved all this past season as the season went along, eventually clearly beating out for his minutes every other player Pop brought up to compete with him.

In his best games of the season he was involved in what the team was doing, as a playmaker or screener,but he wasn't in that series. Maybe the other bench veterans were so out of their own games and overwhelmed that they also got out of their offense. Mills chucked jumpshots all series instead of running plays for others. It's a gripe of mine that Mills is not really a PG yet he had the ball a lot. For me it's on Pop. They didn't really involve him until game 6 when the game was out of hand anyways and Kyle ended up scoring a couple of difficult baskets over Roberson. We can't say for sure he wouldn't have helped when they didn't get him involved until the end. Hopefully that's not the case going forward bc Manu is in the very twilight.

No doubt. To blame KA on that series makes no sense. He should get his share of the blame but hes a rookie (close enough)...on an iconic team....guarding KD!!

As for Pops, I have to cut him some slack in that KAs got an unorthodox set of skills that need to be game planned around and there were too many vets whose last chance at a le were at stake that year to give KA a serious chance at succeeding. He needed to be a spot up shooter.

Yet that wasn't the best choice in the end bc for 6 games in a row no one in the bench could get it going. They were all overmatched. But you are right they had not expected to need anything else from him than the role he played and they rather preferred to go down with the vets swinging than giving him a chance and that's fine, but that's really what they did.

What's makes him the 2nd best passer? Obviously the offense is with him on the floor.

If you call 58%TS chucking now, What do you call 38%TS? OH snap!.


This is why people don't take you serious.

In fact he should have shot more than his other bench teammates.

I guess fathead just shrinks in the playoffs.

Why does the team got to game plan around a ing nobody who gets blocked by PGs and can't get ing rebounds 5 feet away from him?

[G-Dawgg]

I'm expecting him to contribute alot this year. The Spurs letting go of Diaw for basically nothing is a bit of an indicator that they are expecting some production from him also..

[SAGirl]

Basically nothing new:

This young woman is brave and I swear it's not me. I want to see if Spurs do win 60+ this season. I will have to commend her Nostradamus powers! #Nostradamus. Now you all be nice don't be trolling this lady.

[SAGirl]

POP forcing Kyle into a corner 3 pt shooter one of many ways he was misused.

His college shooting chart

Not very different from the spots he liked in the dleague and summer league. Corner 3 pt shooting is also not what the Spurs want to eventually cast him as I imagine.

Clearly it's been one game he has and another what he was asked to do last season. Most of his shots in college were a product of his own craftiness off the dribble too, not the product of anyone else's playmaking since he was one of his team's stars and the main ballhandler. It's been similar in the lower leagues (dleague and summer league). So, I am sure Pop and the coaching staff knows what his game is but they held him out to a corner spot to let him earn his role from the ground up.

Whatever KA contributed, "leadership" isn't one of the things that comes to mind. Nothing against him - he was a second-year bench player. And giving him that much credit for the 67 wins is sort of a head-scratcher. You did right to swear that it isn't you.

Pp didnt misue kyle. He's a role player bench guy..you can only have a limited of players to play somewhat free basketball and be the base of an offense.. The only option for him last year was to play the way he was played.

You're hurty because i told you Pop didnt misue him?

That's trolling.
