Man that Silver Dancer is thick... the good kind

[DarrinS]

Parker ting on the short bus

Undefeated when he scores in double digits

Such a warrior

[SAGirl]

GG by Simmons he was huge, Manu too. Kyle will get his usual F I imagine

[SAGirl]

I got no complaints about the way he played tonight. I don't expect him to be perfect. This was a good game for him.

Kyle played well tonight

[Robz4000]

Give the game ball to LDN and Simmons. Cut it in half on Fathead's forehead.

Victory!

Kyle couldn't hit today, but he was really solid defensively. I don't think he deserves a F at all.

[Pauleta14]

No go to guy offensively? Your beloved Enrique could only dream of having as good of an offensive season as Kawhi is having.

Calm down player fan...

I edited my post but you were too excited to see I was talking in the paint...

This

I actually like he's not passing up the shot although it has been off. He was above 40% and if shooting with confidence he will get there again... as Chinook said the issue was always passiveness.

he still might be better off in a bad team that can give him playing time and some rum. It's tough to catch a rhythm if you are 23 and not playing... Ge will go back to the deep bench and that will be that. At some point we'll see Davis back too I know it.

I think it's possible if you know what kind of player you are to stay in rhythm and contribute consistently. But Anderson has like an iden y crisis going on sometimes, so that makes it tougher.

If he was a shooter, then it's like ok you come in and be ready to shoot, play d, or whatever. But other than rebounding well, he doesnt have a "thing". So many times he looks lost offensively.

Maybe like you're saying playing with a bad team will help him find himself.

Split a bowling ball in half on Fathead's ACL and Achilles tbh

[BillMc]

So much for DeAndre Jordan's DPOY campaign.

[BillMc]

Weird game when Simmons has 4 times as many shots as LMA.

[Robz4000]

that Simmons dunk on replay. Dude leapt from about 12 feet out.

[SASdynasty!]

Spurs up by 20. Time for Enrique to put his hero cape on.

apalisoc_9

They were down by 13. He put them up by 20 numnuts.

[SpurPadre]

Simmons with his best game since the fluke opener, tbh.

His thing is shown more when the team hes on is his team. Hes not a good role player.

He shouldn't. I hope people take note of the 8 rebounds. He's turning into a good rebounder, and the numbers are there to back that up.

I've been telling you. Get him sliding out to the arc, and start thinking in terms of a stretch 4. Start making some 3's, and when they start closing out, THEN he can put his ball handling skills to work.

I haven't given up on him. I just think Pop has to quit using him as a 2.

He killed Portland last week, too, tbh..

That's what I am saying in part. The game he developed in the dleague and here is different... He has to shoot that shot more... anyways a step in the right direction.

He hasn't been a 2 as much anyway since Green came back, no?

Been more of a 3 and occasionally 4 it seems

I agree with you... They are pushing Dijon along to the 2 and 1... and Simmons has been developing... and there's Manu and Danny. He should only be a forward...

[SAGirl]

You too Billl.
