LJC doing some nice things

Garino's D and unturnover prone play should make any smart person think that Simmons should get the eff outta here.

Yes, my biggest concern too that the preseason scorekeepers were a minute late giving some scrub a rebound.

Of lesser concern is that our team sucks ass outside of Kawhi

Pop is morphing into Robert E. Lee....

Our scrubs are better than theirs.

Nice drive and kick J.Simms.. has to play smarter... like I said will show flashes enough to stay in the team all season..

/sigh Got to hope for him. He will be here all year teasing Pop.

only an 8pt loss, dunno why everybody is freaking out, tbh...

Ugly game

Even with the made shot... Simmons just made a garbage play to end . Go home to Houston Simmons. Make some checks in China.

Leprosy has knockdown his 3s the past two games so Forbes is expendable especially w/ Simmons on a guaranteed contract.

Trade Simmons to Philly or Milwaukee for a protected 2nd round pick.

Make room to sign Forbes or Lappro and leave a spot open for another big (that's better than Anthony) that cuts or bought out.

Yeah? What part of this game convinced you in this blowout?

When Chip first saw Forbes shoot in person:

All those decent-looking players competing for one spot. Can Simmons and LJC be sent to Austin to free up their roster spots?

Obviously. Trying to get the contact in every possession affects FG% because when players don't get the whistle, the shot is a tough shot, missed.

Kawhi'll take shots that he didn't take before. Some of them will be good, others not that much.

And again, I'm not sure that the Spurs -with the low pace- can afford to drop FG% having only two offensive threats on the team.

Lapussy has ZERO penetrating skills ..dude is too slow and unathletic for an NBA career imo.

They're not going to waive simmons, but i hope they're at least considering on trading him...but at this point, hes probably not even worth a late second rounder.

Forbes starting to feel comfortable out there.

No, they're on guaranteed contracts.
