It's Kawhi's personal doctor
Probably responsible for a turning point in the game... for the bad. (Ultimately Pops fault for running him out there though!) Forbes is just a really low BB IQ type of guy.
It's Kawhi's personal doctor
Contract year tells you a lot about if a person can handle pressure and step up:
1. Green Failed
2. Forbes Failed
3. Anderson Failed
4. Tony Failed
5. Bertans Failed
The next game put up or ship out.

Bertans has failed so far also.
His shortcomings can be forgiven if he does his one job well: take and make threes.
He's not helping his contact status either.
I know this guy sucks, but what choice do they have but to play him. He's the only guy that can get the ball within a foot of going in from three point range. Unfortunately, he's too short and slow to guard anyone on the Warriors roster.
At making the overrated Thompson look better than he is by continuing to defend him with midget guards, on a team that's more loaded with hiding places than many seem to realize. How difficult is it to have Mills/Parker defend Iguodala/Cook, bench Forbes and trap Durant (Thompson and Cook, rarely playing together, are the only 2 rotation players that shouldn't be helped off of)?
Somehow, this organization hasn't figured out what the majority of the rest of the league has: there's only room for one small guard in a rotation and they better be able to do serious damage offensively, in one form or another. These idiots seem to think small ball means strictly having a more versatile front court, but what it really means is as few of liabilities as possible.
You don't even have to be a good 3-point shooter or defender necessarily, just not someone the defense can completely ignore off ball or target on the other end. Gay is a perfect example of this. Near average 3-point shooter having a down season from 3 (who isn't on this team? from 1st to damn near last in % without losing a shooter; never seen anything like this) and sub par lateral quickness at this point, yet he doesn't really hurt them at either end.
Parker's decline has nothing to do with pressure, he's a HOFerGreen isn't in a true contract year(he can opt in and get his money) and the best season of his career was in a contract year..Forbes is just physically limited, nothing to do with pressure..
Anderson and Bertans, maybe, but people are overthinking this with all the "soft" and "pressure" talk..the roster is just lacking in talent..
Mental toughness is just as important physical talent in sports; some of these guys lack toughness/confidence....
Just as important?
I like Anderson as a starter, particular his defense, but he's just such a shocking fit with Murray who'll be the PG for the next decade. 2 non shooters in your 1-4 ugh
