    The world has gone to hell, but it's happened - MM has become the voice of reason.

    Zack is a fantastic role player - and yes, we need solid role players (e.g. Draymon)

    I miss Chief starting and Zach coming off the bench. Those were the days.

    For Zach, I think my primary concerns are he is not particularly athletic, his hands are downright bad, and his offensive touch around the rim is startlingly poor. I personally find him an extraordinarily frustrating player to watch. Of course, he can improve his hands a bit and his play around the rim a lot, but he will always be limited athletically, which really reduces his margin for error in every facet of the game.

    Bert wont allow that to happen. These are different times with respect to salaries and the PTB's.
    Remember the team could become for sale...

    Ugh

    I don’t. Chief while okay defensively was painful on the offensive end and had no business playing the 4.

    Anytime he tried to generate his own fast break I knew it was going to be a disaster.

    Zach hasn’t even been healthy yet and I’m not sure he’s even 22

    Yeah, he looked horrible against the Grizzlies after his return from his shoulder injury. Absolutely HORRIBLE!

    Yeah. His three point shot wasn’t falling. And he did foul out...after 37 minutes where he got 9 boards, 3 assists, 1 steal, and was a plus 11.

    Horrible.

    Someone mentioned Zach wasn’t athletic, for a 7’ white guy he’s athletic.

    So is it my turn now to find a shitty game?

    if we go back and forth, who do you think runs out of examples first?
