    Who would have thought Meyers would be our most consistent bench player.

    Zach starting to drift forward to much on his attempt blocks. But he has said he knows he making dumb fouls that why he working with the NBA official they hired last year. But I am not down grade because he at least out there attempting to play good D and most of the time he the right position or cutting off another player because someone loosing there man.

    I know every year we say that this year is the end of the Spurs... but this year really IS the end of the Spurs. Here's their last ten games:

    Hey, you are tougher than that! :) I personally would not enjoy game threads nearly as much if you were not posting. In the heat of the moment, there will always be a lot of over-reaction in game threads, but so what?

    But at least they have a coach who they can have some faith in and who takes responsibility for the problem:
    “It’s a game where you continue to try to get better in all aspects of the game. We are obviously discombobulated on offense. A lot of that has to do with me, so I have to do a better job there. And defensively, we obviously have to shore up our effort and our wisdom at that end of the court. So, we have a lot of work to do.”

    Brilliant post, mate! Why can we as fans see this but our overpaid, underperforming coaching staff cannot?

    The thing is game threads especially during the game get the brunt of all of our more emotional, immediate and sometimes stupid comments; I do it, you do it, lots of us do it. I think you should keep posting and if the comment is “that” bad you can always ignore it.

    Yeah two of his fouls last night were just bad but you could tell he knew right off the bat. He will get it together. I got faith in that kid. he has a fire to be in this league and play well.

    This is so depressing. We’re barely competitive anymore against the better teams in the league. How many years now are we just spinning our wheels and going nowhere. I’m finding it very hard to watch the games these days, even though I’ve paid for a full year of NBA League Pass.

    I should've been a little clearer on Zach, I'm not that down on him yet. I just don't get why he's being super aggressive on the perimeter. Baldwin would come in and do the same thing and pick up a couple of immediate fouls and not get to play again. The thing is you can see him about to commit a foul when he does this and then he gets mad at himself for doing so. Last year he was usually in pretty good position on the perimeter too. I don't know we he is over doing it so much when he needs to do the opposite if he wants to avoid fouls.

    The only thing I can think of is the old belief that if you are aggressive and physical all the time they can't call everything. Well, Zach is proving that they can.

    Hahaha. I was doing the same thing. I hit rewind about a half dozen times to see who left someone so wide open for an easy three. Aminu and Turnover were the responsible parties every time. The worst was when they left guys wide open for what I have to believe is the easiest, most efficient shot in basketball -- the corner three that every high school player can make -- to cheat back toward the key, when the key was already heavily guarded. So. Fucking. Stupid.

    You'll think this is weird I'm sure, but I am actually higher on Zach now than I was at the start of the season. I think he's got a lot of potential anyways. Almost all of his fouls are just mental errors, but most of them seem pretty easy to fix with good coaching.
    It's hard (for me at least), but I'm coming around on the idea of giving him another year or so to see how he develops. It's frustrating at times watching the growing pains, but I feel like I see more and more "good" out of him.

    I saw some of those in live action. Also multiple times when their guards, with minimal effort, went around our guards like they were tied to a tree.

    God our perimeter defense sucks.
