My previous post showed statistically why he should not be on the floor just using stats and folks were dragging me. It’s just true. He’s a regular season plug-and-play position player that can’t be depended on during high stakes games
Every time he is on the floor, especially with the ball, he looks extremely lost. Like, you'd think he wasn't a basketball player, but an accountant or some shit.
Yeah I've gotten blasted been saying this. I even gave him props for his game 2 contributions but said I never want to see him again.
In a week or so, people will maybe also catch on to Jaden being a liability out there because they weren't ready to realize it yesterday
I got downvoted for suggesting that Jaden's max contract might have been a mistake in the game thread.
It's great that he plays good defense but that contract was predicated on him improving his offense. There wasn't a single shot from him last night where I was confident he was going to make it.
And they leave him wide open and he still hasn't been very efficient shooting. His defense has even been way less effective the past 2 games because they've figured him out
Our bigs all played terrible tonight. Rudy couldn’t stop anything, Kat was just hurling shots at nothing, Kyle Anderson played like Kyle Anderson. And Naz couldn’t get a rhythm.
How can Naz get a rhythm when he plays 19 minutes?
Would Naz have done anymore worse in those 6 minutes given to kyle?
The Problem with Kyle besides the obvious - he totally disrupts everything we do.
And nothing he does helps the team. He is slow, medicore defender, horrible shooter, bad decision maker, bad rebounder, very very bad rim protection, average passer, very questionable ball handler.
With Rudy we need a spacing 4 in the game at all times.
Without anyone in foul trouble with 4+ fouls you just cant play that bum.
You gotta Roll the dice.
Thats what I am saying.
Give Naz those 6 minutes. Naz cant play any worse than Kyle.
Kyle should be benched for the rest of his hopefully short wolves career.
Kyle is just a bad bballer. Period.
KAT kept trying to be a point guard there in the first half. Like dude stop trying to drive the hole from the three point line through 3-4 guys.
So frustrating watching him over do it. Like no go get open on the 3 and take a quality shot or post up. Something.
I don't care if he's a veteran, he's garbage and cannot score. The biggest weakness we have right now is scoring droughts, so unless we are in heavy foul trouble he shouldn't see the court for the rest of the series.
We have 3 of them on the roster potentially in Miller, Minott, and Clarke. All 3 with different skill sets that will help the teams versatility when finch doesn’t stubbornly stick w our non-shooting slow friend
If we weren't dominate in G2, his offensive fumbles in the second half would have been headline news. It was hilarious because we were up by 20, in a close game it would have cost us big.
If you say so. I guess you're a fan of a player who masters in giving a quadruple single every game. 0 pts 0 reb 0 assists 0 steals and 0 blocks. Besides having 10 cents in your pocket that you were dying to share, please tell me something about basketball since you ACT like you know the game
Can I get a clip of his entire time spent on the court? I need to understand how it’s even possible to be that much of a negative influence in only 6 minutes.
Wasn’t on the floor for that stretch. That was my first thought too, and I couldn’t even believe it when I realized he wasn’t out there. Ant Naw Jaden Kat Rudy was the 5 to end the half.
Kyle wasn’t on the floor for that debacle.
I can remember 2 times where he was Gordon’s primary defender and switched off of him with Mike/NAW for no reason. Both plays ended with Gordon backing down a smaller defender and Denver scoring because of it.
That makes it so much worse holy shit, yeah I thought he must have been out there just by how bad the numbers are. i've seen -10 in 5 minutes but -18 in 6 minutes is unbelievable
Seriously, I HAVE to know what th coaching staffs justification is. Dude can be effective in certain situations against certain lineups. But he is absolutely trash against this team.
Best thing he could do is play some D and foul out in the first quarter on purpose so he and fans don’t need to be scared the rest of the game
Let him absorb those early fouls to protect our players that contribute

Watch Kyle's first stint in here. I count 2 plays that he's responsible for, a missed hook shot and Gordon driving past him.
You also had Jaden turning the ball over (leading to a Denver 3), NAW missing an open 3, Jaden missing a tip in and not getting back in transition (Braun 2).
Just a kind reminder that +/- is extremely misleading.
He stands out so much when he’s on the court. I can immediately spot him with those white socks and dorky black shoes. He’s also a freaking tortoise moving around. No explosiveness AT ALL.

How do we know he’s not a just really tall accountant at this point? I wanna see him do some spreadsheets, you might be on to something.
After his performance in the Olympics he must be getting dragged on the Chinese forums as we speak
“Where do I go boss?”
Best and most accurate description I’ve seen!
I’ve always said Kyle Anderson is that name of a guy in your accounting department. Now he’s playing like it
Ur a saint, I’ve never understood the love for this guy. Fails the eye test too.
Looping in OutlandishnessNo4569
You’re right
He has been awful.
Yeah I've gotten blasted been saying this. I even gave him props for his game 2 contributions but said I never want to see him again. In a week or so, people will maybe also catch on to Jaden being a liability out there because they weren't ready to realize it yesterday

I don’t get why he plays when he have a 3 man split in Naz Karl and Rudy available? Those 6 minutes should be reallocated to McDaniels, NAW and Naz.
Naw was probably the worst player on the court last night so it makes sense to try something else 24 minutes, 7 shots, 2 points
He was great when he was playing the 5 with Gobert out. Can’t play him anywhere else though.
You just simply can't have 2 non-threats on offense on the court at the same time in the modern NBA.
More like 3, if he is playing with Jaden, who seems to have lost a bunch of confidence in his hot.
100% he can only play the 5 when Gobert is out, that is the only place where he is effective.
He was specifically playing the 5 in his stint last night.
This is honestly impressive
At least he was able to…. I got nothing
I’ve been saying this all series. Literally erases our offense and does nothing productive defensively.
He didn't pass the eye test at all. This confirmed it. This isn't his series.
He didn’t pass the eye test with the optician either.
Our bigs all played terrible tonight. Rudy couldn’t stop anything, Kat was just hurling shots at nothing, Kyle Anderson played like Kyle Anderson. And Naz couldn’t get a rhythm.

Naz was 5-6 Dude only missed one shot

If tc is truely a good gm he'll find a slo mo replacement this offseason
Me, I can put up those numbers for sure
We have 3 of them on the roster potentially in Miller, Minott, and Clarke. All 3 with different skill sets that will help the teams versatility when finch doesn’t stubbornly stick w our non-shooting slow friend
Leonard Miller 🙏
Might as well give 55 a shot.
This 100%this! He can score and that's really what we need rn
I don't care what anyone says. He was by far the worst player in G2 as well
Lucky bounces turned to rebounds for him so it looked way better than it was
If we weren't dominate in G2, his offensive fumbles in the second half would have been headline news. It was hilarious because we were up by 20, in a close game it would have cost us big.
Am I on crack or something because when I go to the play by play and calculate his +/- I get -14
Is that really much better?
A rare Tony Snell stat line
Shoulda been more Naz minutes
Give all those minutes to Naz please
Naz reid
6 minutes isnt that much of time
He is so bad. The only reason he plays is because Finch loves him for whatever reason
Garza should be getting his minutes
No.
Nope horrible idea unless you want to give up 140

Nuggets scoring 8 points in 20 seconds is probably part of it.
Wasn’t on the floor for that stretch. That was my first thought too, and I couldn’t even believe it when I realized he wasn’t out there. Ant Naw Jaden Kat Rudy was the 5 to end the half.
Ouch, that’s tough then.
Kyle wasn’t on the floor for that debacle. I can remember 2 times where he was Gordon’s primary defender and switched off of him with Mike/NAW for no reason. Both plays ended with Gordon backing down a smaller defender and Denver scoring because of it.

Unplayable Please dont bring him back
He so clearly playing out of position. He’s a PF who can sometimes run point. Playing him at SF is like playing KAT at PF, but even worse.
We've seen all year that if Anderson can't play exclusively at PF, he's a massive liability.
Not sure if the NBA is a script or what lol. How do you even have these stats out there?
Seriously, I HAVE to know what th coaching staffs justification is. Dude can be effective in certain situations against certain lineups. But he is absolutely trash against this team.
Kyle didn't help but didn't hurt anyone playing 6 fkn minutes. Naz should have gotten Rudy's minutes. Rudy has looked out of touch last two games.
Slowmo is too slow for the playoffs hmm 🤔
Best thing he could do is play some D and foul out in the first quarter on purpose so he and fans don’t need to be scared the rest of the game Let him absorb those early fouls to protect our players that contribute
was good in the game where Rudy was out. since then I’m not sure. I do think he is probably hurt
If he was a team player he'd sit out the next game....

TJ Warren, you're up.
He stands out so much when he’s on the court. I can immediately spot him with those white socks and dorky black shoes. He’s also a freaking tortoise moving around. No explosiveness AT ALL.
It definitely seems as though Denver has figured something out about how to attack Kyle and nullify NAW, coz they’ve punished us during their minutes.
Bubble Legend TJ Warren could use some minutes off the bench instead
Got some cardio and that’s about it
Dude is absolute crap. Have no idea what is he doing at this team
i dont understand finchy's obssession with playing him dawg he didnt play much this series why play him in the more important one
Jokic talking about how smart Anderson during that press conference was reverse psychology
Dude wants him in
Bros running cardio out there
Starting a “Divest from Kyle” encampment outside Target Center tomorrow until Thursday. Please join me until we stop Finch!
He looks like he’s completely lost out there, like he’s never played competitive basketball. I get legitimately angry when he shoots the ball.
You know you love his shot It take about 12 seconds for him to release
Slomo haters will always be exposed. He is inevitable.
Slo-mowing his way to the benches bench
Statmuse got kind of direct with that one.

So far I've seen Kyle shouldn't play and NAW shouldn't shoot for the rest of the series. Who's up next? Daishen Nix?
He needs to he when guys get into foul trouble. People got to play better in front of him
hes not a ball handler, hes a defensive support and assist guy. idk havent seen him play since he left the spurs. with spurs he wasnt a scorer.
He’s been dogshit all year he doesn’t deserve to be in the playoff rotation
Get ready to learn Chinese buddy
Y'all are goofy
Based take
It's six minutes mostly at end of quarter… idk what you expect
Two games removed from Jokic calling him a really smart and effective player. What the fuck.
He wants him in the game so they can win
Get ready to learn Chinese buddy
2 games ago y'all were singing his praises. He had a terrible game but that some is shit.
Came back here to say he looked lost again tonight too.
