If his 3pt % goes down to 30’s no way Pop could justify starting this too short, unathletic, no defense, stats padder. No way
That's why I have to doubt your basketball IQ when Dragic was going off Murray was no where near him and as far as Nunn goes yes he scored on Murray but how many times did Murray have to sag off his man because he was trying to help Forbes? I get it trolling is your thing but this is ridiculous.

There's no way to justify it now. But Pop does it anyway.
I turned on the game tonight and saw Forbes in the starting line up. I thought to myself, I’m not watching this , and just changed the channel.
Maybe some other game, but wasn’t in the mood tonight.
I come here later and read the same sad about Forbes play, and Walker only getting 8 minutes. Pop is just sucking all the fun out of being a fan.
His last day can’t come soon enough.
Lol keep dreaming. He's Flopovich. Nobody will question him no matter what
Spurs play 3 of the ~20 worst defenders in the league with at least one on the court for 48/48 minutes.
" What about Dejounte "
Having a complete non-factor on offense is bad for the defense. I don't get why people don't understand that. It's easy to play basketball when all you have to do is play one side of the ball bc Dejounte doesn't even need to be guarded. Playing defense gets opposing players tired. Chasing Tony Parker around got other point guards exhausted by the 4th quarter. Sitting back and doing nothing on defense bc you know your opponent can't do isn't tiring at all. Dejounte needs to learn how to play offense to help our overall defense.
DJ has a long way to go on offense but you are also exaggerating your description of him. He isn't a complete non-factor. He's a threat to drive and his midrange has been money as of late. He makes the occasional three too. He's only averaging 1 ppg less than Forms (which is supposed to be Brent's strength) and he doesn't need to be a high volume, low efficiency chucker like that piece of to get his points.
Is DJ flawed? Absolutely. But he at least has an NBA body, NBA level athleticism, is already a great defender, and is continuing to make strides on offense. You can live with his growing pains. I can't live with the growing pains of an average joe, little engine that could that was never any good to begin with and will never get any better because of his physical limitations.
Forbes sucks. I only defend him to troll. But I’m not exaggerating at all about Dejounte. He can’t even average 1 made 3 a game and defenders sag off of him. His midrange game is “money” but he’s only taking like 4 midrange shots a game and making 2. He can drive though, except he really can’t. He dribbles too high and can’t do against real defense. What does he average like 2 made baskets in the paint a game (if that)? The dude can’t make a wrap around pass to save his life. He can’t do anything more than a basic pass once he does drive and has zero rapport with any of our bigs.
Real progress is if he shoots minimum 4 threes a game and doubles the amount of shots in the paint as well. As a side note, Murray’s lack of offensive game is a reason why Pop feels like he has to play Forbes
This loser would be a Spur for life if Pop had his way.
Really hoping the old retires right after the season and they can move on from Bryn. But knowing the old man, his last you to the organization is giving that piece of a new 4yr contract.
I've said it many times but if you're an actual Spurs fan, you should be hoping Bryn blows out his achilles. It's come to that tbh.
Glad to see my original piece is starting a trend
Walker provides hope. I'm not sold on s om, but with his physical tools and raw skillset, it's at least conceivable.
Any non senile coach would have started him over Forbes long ago.
The fact that two fringe rotation players start for this team, is embarrassing.
Forbes is averaging more minutes per game than Manu did in any of his last 7 years with the Spurs, and more than at least 3 of the seasons Danny Green played on the Spurs.
He's really one of the most important role players in Spurs history, judging by the amount of minutes he's been given by popovich.
bizarre
Tommy Osborn bringing the fire tbh
what an absolute ing joke. What an amazing day it will be when the old man finally walks away.
“Sometimes people take advantage of him because of his size,” Popovich said. “He can’t change that. But nobody works harder.”
He can't change that but you can you stubborn fool.
The minutes he is getting is getting to his head lmao, you can see it especially last night jacking up shots like he’s Steph. Acting like he’s deserving of those minutes because he works his ass off This isn’t pee wee basketball this is the NBA ffs
Holy this dude is ing senile
They couldn’t find a picture more annoying even if they tried. I hate this guy.
I genuinely hate Forbes, as a player and as a person. The only piece of more harmful to the team is the senile that plays him.
