This was the Lyles/Kyle matchup:
The thing is that Pop isn't going to call plays for Kyle when Pau is the 3rd option on the team.
He's going to have to defend & attack when the opportunity presents itself, if he didn't turn-down open shots that would also help.
This was the Lyles/Kyle matchup:
Not asking for plays for him TBH. I've been saying he needs to shoot the 3, but they were not matched up bc Kyle was in the perimeter and Lyles is played as a 4... that's what I am saying. Lee didn't have a good game against Lyles...
Kyle did get smoked several times on the perimeter though...Not that other guys didn't but ol' Fathead with his cement shoes could hardly contest any shots he had to defend. lol
Chinook thinks Spurs should run the offense through Kyle, esp vs Warriors...tbh
Probably one of the most subtle Anti-kawhi dude in Spurstalk...Used to somehow manage to complain about kawhi supposed "Extra" touches and the lack for others...
He turning it around though...
wanted sully + boban over gasol too.
He's too damn slow for the NBA. Why the Spurs picked up his option to begin with is unbelievable.
Actually, Ingles went off when Lee was guarding him at the start of the 4th quarter.
I don't remember Kyle being matched up against Lyles the entire game, he was feasting on Lee for the most part.
Agreed. Lee was terrible in this game... but heck losses like this are not just one guy.
Well that strategy would have the element of surprise going for it at least..
He is trash. Can't keep making excuses for him. I mean even CoJo turned it around in his 3rd season. Kyle still looks like a deer in headlights player
Not really, but it's on Pop what he has Kyle doing out there and I though by now Pop would know better what he is than all the experimenting he's showing.
He's a forward, either a 3 or a 4. I thought the major update Kyle needed was letting the 3 fly when he is open and I have been on record as being majorly disappointed he's not doing that. Most of my excitement over the summer was him shooting so well so I can't deny the letdown. We shall see. He is on thin ice.
He may not fit with Lee and Dedmon and may be playing himself out of the rotation but in this game the Jazz camped the paint and it will happen with 2 non shooting bigs at times and guys reluctant to shoot. Simmons struggled with his shot too and was closed out and blocked on jumpshots. Credits to the Jazz they competed hard and were impressive. There was a time Tony played with the bench, Simmons and Kyle, the bigs camped the paint and got 3 sec violations called on them. Tony to the bench might not be a good idea.
It was a mess, that was mad scientist Pop mode.
stick his ass in a matrix simulator where he can eternally play in summer league while in a vegetated state
Nice to see you're being as petty as ever.
Good morning.![]()
Kyle Anderson and a 2nd for Hollis Thompson. Do it R.C!
Morning. I'm getting to that age where I need coffee every morning. It's depressing.
keeping on blaming pop for Anderson shortcomings. What is mind blowing is that dude regressed vs last year and I'm not even talking about second half of the year but even first part. After reading some arguments during off season I was open minded and thought well maybe I'm a bit harsh. I wish he can get his together but for now he sucks plain and simple and he is sucking since day one except for two months last year...
Question: Why is Archie Goodwin still available?
Some poster in another thread suggested trading Anderson and a second to Philly for Hollis Thompson. I doubt that is doable, but I would be all over that. I think the Spurs might be able to get more than a second for Anderson, and I'd be pretty happy with any first rounder and just leaving the 15th spot open. No rush. Anderson is not a contributor, anyway.
Even if Bertans could defend small forwards (which is unlikely), he's said and it's been clear that they view him as strictly a stretch four.
Goodwin is similar to Simmons and the holdup on his signing is probably waiting for a situation where he has a potential near immediate path to a rotation spot.
Why would the 76ers trade one of their few shooters for a (supposed) play making/point forward type, who's a far inferior prospect to 2 players they already have who fit that mold?
Aren't you in your 20's? I had to have whiskey in the mornings when I was in my 20's... as a matter of fact, I still do...
Huh... Never mind then.
Trade Kyle and some picks for Rubio
