    That's the Meyers we know.....

    Not too impressed with Collins either. He needs to bulk up.

    Just started watching the game. Guess Stotts has been reading the forum. CJ staggered with the second unit.

    It's absolutely terrible that we have a clueless defender guarding the paint (Meyers) when Zach is guarding the perimeter. It's simply bad coaching

    If there's no other way, take Meyers out of the game and have Zach as the only big.

    Meyers is even worse on the perimeter. There's really no place for him defensively unless he can guard a Favors/Aldridge type of PF.

    What's the point in having our best rim protector playing as a perimeter defender? What's the logic?

    Layman nice '3'!!

    He has been open for lobs several times but his teammates aren't finding him. Good movement off the ball.

    I feel like we throw the least lobs in the league.

    Best I can figure is it's because Meyers is in, and Meyers is in because we're paying him too much to send him to the end of the bench every game. Because we're stupid.

    Meyers can dole out the hard fouls.

    We could out two models of Han Solo frozen in carbonite and they'd be more effective than Nards and Collins are at times.
