There is still no justifying that he's a horrible defender tbh.
hahahaha thats what anderson use to do when he was sub off the bench for defensive duty, barking at players for the set defensive play, ball inbounds and his player speeds pass him for easy 2.. then gets fkn sub..useless kent in those type of situations
Yeah, he's still a terrible defender and I also don't think he should be starting. If Lonnie and Derrick weren't out, I'd rather both of them starting due to their superior potential on defense. It's always defense first with me. Even though my game was about shooting, I'm always defense first, second, third.
Lol. Sometimes Spurstalk is like a toilet bowl of emotions. Logic is not necessary here.
Not saying he isn’t horrible on defense either. Where’d I say that?
👀
Loaded mag going off tonight. Kid just needs confidence.
He's more than outplayed Belinelli this season so far and Belinelli signed for $6 mill per year, Forbes could at least get that especially since he's so young.
More Forbes, less Paddy please
crazy how life works sometimes... took three players getting injured just to give him the opportunity to have his shine. Probably made a career over these last few games after finding himself... crzy
If Forbes was looking for his shot more or the team looking to find him in offense, then he'll score a lot more. He's not the best of defenders, but you see that he's aggressive.
Looks like he's becoming more comfortable playing and pretty seen, it won't be a surprise that he has a couple of games with 30 points.
15 PPG, 46% on 5.5 3's per game
No jinx but he has a decent shot at most improved. That second year for ~$3 million is looking super smart now.
His ball handling looked better tonight, or maybe i'm trippin'
nah man, it really did. He looked to be a lot more aggressive. The first few games he was trying to just not make a mistake, but tonight he was actually penetrating.
I’m sold with DD/Forbes/Dante/Gay/LA lineup, and staggering DD/Gay/LA with the 2nd unit. Please no Forbes/Mills/Belli/Bertans/Gasol lineup. I mean really?

Better than Mills at everything he does. Only makes me hate the 12:01 extension even more (if possible) smh
Averaging 15 PPG and making it look easy. Been top 3 in scoring for our team in 4 out of 5 games.
He's out-competed Ball in both games. It's really all you can ask of him. So long as Gay starts (and I know he didn't tonight), Forbes has to start. The first unit needs his spacing, and the second unit will need whatever play-making White can provide.
Forbes and Patty are very similar skill set. His positive play will hopefully reduce Patty’s minutes when White and Walker get back.
Patty is okay as SG and instant offense, never a facilitator. I do love him taking charges and even tried with McGee. Just can’t expose him trying to create. The guy is not a PG.
Yeah, a lot of how abysmal Patty has been has to do with not having Manu next to him, and a lot of how bad he's been over the past couple of years has to do with Manu's decline. Anderson never really developed into a consistent play-maker, so Mills was gonna be in trouble anyway. Letting Kyle walk and replacing him with Cunningham definitely wasn't going to help. The best hope is that he can develop real chemistry with White once Derrick returns.
I always thought Forbes' ceiling was a homeless man's Steph Curry. He looked absolutely great in non-regular season games before only to disappoint in actual games. Glad to see he's getting over the mental block. All it took was Parker leaving, Manu retiring, and 3 injuries to the Spurs guard rotation.
I expect with more playing time and experience Forbes will show some improvement in play making, defense, ball handling to the point he’s even a greater asset. Proud member of the rarly Forbes bandwagon brigade.
the next step for him is driving to the basket and finishing around the rim which he is already decent at. We saw it in this game when they ran him off the 3-point line. That's also the one thing he's way better at than Patty. I expect him to improve even more as the season progresses. He really is a better version of Mills on a cheap contract. That's great value for 2.8 million. PATFO can now go ahead and trade Mills
Glad to see Forbes really worked on his game this past offseason. He's a legit NBA player now (maybe even an NBA starter).
