Yeah, read it again. Until you get it. It's not hard.
I was surprised that KAs numbers were as good as they were. I felt like it was another game where he was on the brink of having a great game but didnt. I feel hes still dealing with his confidence level and having to prove himself. But he seems to have a positive effect on the game every time he takes the floor these days. And hes finally taking the three when open, but still tentative also.
Fathead minutes is bad. Because pop can't help himself and makes him wanna play him in the playoffs.
Almost got a triple double without really stat padding or being ball dominant. Just playing with teammates and doing what he needed to.
Any other deep bench player gets you that line + a win and you have guys going crazy but bc bc it's him, for the trolls it doesn't count. Can't do anything about that... haters got to hate.
Yeah I read it again, he is the same every game. Try to get it
Depending on the matchup he may get minutes there. I'd have Bertans there personally due to his ability to stretch the floor , but he's got his own issues defensively.
As long as we aren't playing a big team or super quick/athletic front court, he should be ok there
Are you re ed? Pop doesn't give a about stats. Pop is supporting Anderson. Only you're left in the hazy dreams of a re .
I know. Their is probably 80% talk on here about whats wrong with the Spurs to 20% whats good....and we are close to being #1 in the NBA
If our team does good they make fun of the other team as if they are pathetic for losing to us

For whatever reason he dominates D League caliber players.
Kyle played an excellent game against the same players he would have been facing most of the time if both teams had been at full strength. He just would not have logged 32 minutes. It will be very interesting to see how much time Pop gives him going forward - especially next game, and especially when Kawhi returns. Hope he gets a lot of the minutes that would have gone to LMA.
I've changed my tune on Anderson. If played in the right position (PF that can play-make seems to be his spot), he's very helpful to the team.
I have also turned around on him because he's actually taking those open threes and even making some of them.
I was for Simmons, but not anymore. Simmons is so bad at passing up open shots and making stupid plays and turnovers. Their basketball IQs are on the opposite ends of the spectrum.
Fathead has zero IQ. What exactly makes him smart?
Yes, the problem seemed more that he wasnt taking them than that he wasnt making them.
Simmons will continue to get his shot at playing because hes earned it and hes rough.
Anderson's defensive effectiveness is unbelievable for someone so slow. He's got really quick hands and is such a good help defender, everytime someone gets burned he'll always rotate as well as knowing his limitations very well. He seems to be spotting up a bit more for corner 3's which is at least a start for his offense. So frustrating being such a reluctant shooter from anywhere.
keep your re ed argument for yourself dumbass.
Being a point guard and having a long wingspan helps him defensively know where the ball is going to be and deflecting the ball. He knows where the ball is going to go and is able to be disruptive defensively.
I'd vote for that - if they let us vote. He's far from mistake-free. And I've watched him get run down in transition way too many times to think he can function as a legit 2 or 3, regardless of what positives he has. The Spurs would be doing him a favor by letting him settle in as a backup four.
Fathead should, under no cir stance, get minutes ahead of Bertans.

LOL. You should not toss up lobs like that. I'm literally biting my tongue.
The coaching staff's comments say that Kyle is a very smart player. Those are the same people who thought they could make him an NBA point guard, so I can understand if you have to take them at a discount. I think Kyle is smart enough. But those career-mediocre players people are talking about usually have a niche.
Kyle is a reasonably good defender - except when he isn't. He can knock down 3's - but not when he won't shoot them. He's a good rebounder, but he doesn't get enough opportunities because of how he's being used. Not exactly a recipe for success.
Kyle Andersons failure so far has everything to do with him not being able to become a good/decent shooter...
The Spurs have the best shooting coach in the world and one of the best development stafffs in the league..and honestly what makes it worst for him is that he doesn't have an NBA skill or trait..IQ doesn't translate here.
If Anderson could've established himself as s shooter from the corner or at least grew confidence so he wouldn't hesitate on open looks it would've opened up sooooo much more for his game. But since I think that's become a failed experiment in that aspect the Spurs gave up...and I don't blame them
There just aren't enough minutes there for him. Maybe with LMA out, but there's no real argument that he's more deserving of minutes than Lee at that spot. Gotta feel like he had his shot, and it slipped through for him. There was some hype surrounding his growth coming into this season, and it just didn't pan out that way.
He's not good at anything. Maybe good off ball defense. But he would get wrecked 1on1 in the playoffs. He just doesn't work in the playoffs.LOL. You should not toss up lobs like that. I'm literally biting my tongue.

Pretty much sums up how I feel. I know he can do some things well, but you have to be flexible/versatile to a certain degree to play on this team, especially on the 2nd unit. I get that he does well at the 4, but if that's not a realistic scenario, then there should be some adaptation to do other things at another position.
Simmons is probably in the same boat, but his athleticism/speed and ability to make momentum shifting plays probably keeps him getting more minutes.
Simmons was looking OK shooting the ball earlier this season and was hopeful he'd make that leap. But he hurt his wrist on I believe his shooting hand..which will things up..especially for someone who wasn't fully confident in his shot yet but was making progress
Kyle still has next year as well. I'd like to see them keep Lee, but if they don't, there's no guarantee that they will find a backup four who would get those minutes. To put it into perspective, Kyle has 2500 minutes so far. Cory in his first three years played 1500. In year four, Joseph doubled his total minutes and went on to have a big contract.
