He's a rotation player on a non playoff team.
This. Pop's stubbornness is getting oldNot sure why anybody is blaming a SG in a 6 foot 160lb body with a 6th grade girls name tbh....he's not an NBA player. The better question to ask is why is this G-League player seeing rotation minutes in a playoff game, figure out who's responsible for that then you can start pointing fingers tbh....

Shouldn’t have benched Anderson like he did. Pop deserved what he got out of Forbes (and to a lesser extent Davis)
You can’t play one way all season and then get to the playoffs and expect to be someone you are not... but he tried at least.
He had Simmons and let him go
The front office got stuff wrong before... They aren't perfect... They got Simmons wrong... He would have been valuable to the team
This too. Figure out who plays him in the playoffs at all and then come back to on those responsible (PATFO)He also allowed points in the subsequent 2 possessions, as well
I've dislikes Forbes since day 1, but I don't blame him..Pop is playing him, while never giving his 1st rookie a shot..

Agreed... He always panics and does this... Play the young guys in the region season , then revert to the old guys when playoffs come... DJ was the best PG apart from Mills last night, and he only played 12 minutes... At this rate DJ will never be able to play in the playoffs because he will never have the experience to be ready for it
Wait until Kiwi is supermaxed like fanboys want to then sit out entire seasons. You won’t be able to afford anyone else.
Kyle is playing scared! When he plays with true intensity he’s a great asset but mostly he doesn’t.
This is nothing new. He's done that with Dedmon and Blair. I get that he's won 5 rings and has led the team to whatever many playoffs in a row and blah, blah, blah, but his decisions at times are very stupid and his stubbornness is tiresome.
in basically 7 minutes since garbage time doesnt count, he got you 2 steals and a rebound, he took 3s that he needed to take. You can blame his 3 pt shooting but since others out there were clanking just the same while doing nothing else to win games yea, it's a supid decision. What did you get out of Forbes?
I think Kyle has been very solid against GSW in the past... he's really not getting much of an opportunity here... which I am fine with if the Spurs are winning and he's not playing, but if you are losing just the same playing scrubs that didn't get you in the playoffs to begin with taking rotation minutes, yea that does not make any sense to me.

I don't think the Spurs will win this series no matter what they do, so maybe I really shouldn't complain. I like that Pop made some obvious adjustments like starting Rudy and decided to give big minutes to Davis to see if he could help. I don't begrudge him cutting Dijon and Kyle's minutes but he instead played Forbes, who doesn't shoot well when it matters and on top of it, is very bad at everything else that involves a basketball game. This isn't how he even got in the playoffs to begin with.
Does anyone think we have seen the last of Forbes in a Spur unform? BC I don't.
Last season Mills was probably just as bad against GSW and he got 50, so I think Forbes is getting a small deal and will be back.
In some of the regular season games Anderson has played with drive, confidence, and intensity. These two playoff games he has looked scared and treated the ball like a hot potato. That's a problem.
The starting lineup should be Aldridge, Anderson, Gay, Green, and Murray. Of the bench it should be Gasol, Bertans, Manu, White, and Parker. I don't wanna see Mills or Forbes play another minute unless it's garbage time.
Agree with everything you said in this post
Simmons is one of the few things PATFO got right on this offseason, tbh.
to me, the nail in the coffin was fumbling a routine pass in the moments after the clear path foul. the moment is too big for him (like everybody he tries to guard), and honestly he's not that great even when the moment isn't too big for him. he's a poor man's gary neal.
Poop's secret love child tbqh
that is exactly why I made the post. the was the straw that broke my back tbh and then the next play Thompson hit a J in his face...
probably the new bonner... sigh I expect him to be back next year, just hopefully on a minimum contract and out of the rotation. He's a good spark in certain situations against certain teams but he gets obliterated over every screen and doesn't fit in this series.
TBH... I wonder if there is going to a final nail in Forbes coffin... this dude doesn't have a coffin. As I said would not surprise me at all to see him right back next season.
Maybe he needs to leave a shoeless Miller unguarded to get a coffin... (Neal reference obviously).
I don't know how this guy doesn't get a coffin, but he doesn't.
Kyle though, he got a coffin.
that is a funny picture in your AVI diehardfan1537
no work will make Forbes 6'5 '', so no
