Only a Few Days Left for Jacque Vaughn

[homer]

dude, quit being a hater... .. the guy tanked the summer league.. most here have a right to second guess that decision...Hill has proven everyone wrong not you....

relax.

Sequ, I hope you were being sarcastic, because he was. He is a personal, longtime, friend of Hill's.

[ILoveOranges]

Jacque wasn't even on the lineup for today's game; he was on the bench, and apparently pretty active. Maybe that'll continue. Like others have said, having an insurance policy isn't too bad. Having a sort of honorary coach for 1 million doesn't sound horrible either.

The real countdown should be: How many days until we get rid of Sequspur.

[SequSpur]

na na na na....na na na na.....

[urunobili]

na na na na....na na na na.....

heeeey heeey heeey...

JV is what he is, a serviceable third string point guard. Now that Hill has shown what he has, JV will not be playing much at all I think. Regardless, it is nice to have a guy that knows what he is doing as a backup. Ahern is a project.

[T Park]

Ahearn sucks and has no future.

Vaughn is in the role he was made for. Third string point guard, 5th assistant coach.

The least amount of minutes Vaughn gets and the more DNP the better.

Anytime Vaughn in on that bench wearing a spurs Uni, Pop is tempted.

Danger lurks still

I don't think anybody would disagree with this - because that means Hill is doing what he's supposed to be doing (or at least close to it).

The only reason you have Vaughn is to provide insurance in case Hill goes Beno on us.

JV is a career backup, expecting anything more is just stupid.

And he does one thing better than any Spurs PG, and that is play defense, as long as he still has that, then he is gonna keep a roster spot.

Hill and Parker are both > vaughn at defense

Hill >>> vaughn

Hill >>> vaughn

I disagree that Hill is a better defender. I certainly think he defends better in spurts and has the potential to be a much better defender, but he still makes way to many mistakes on D. Stupid fouls, stupid gambles, both of which to me (and probably Pop) aren't good things.

As for Hill >>> Vaughn, I absolutely agree, as a complete basketball player, he is better. That doesn't mean that he can't learn from Vaughn though.

[hater]

because we lost all these games because of JV

I would say the gambles are worth it in a Manu type way: Most nights, Hill does not get rattled and plays very tight man D. He will have nights he picks up 2-3 steals playing the passing lanes and hassling his man from end to end. His arms are incredibly long and we've already seen him block a couple shots from behind when he got beat off the dribble. To me, these physical gifts amount to him already being > Vaughn at defense.

Like for Bonner, it takes PT in a real NBA game to good on the rotations. Over and over in practice is half of it only if you ask me, because another Head Coach's plays are gonna make you think more. Only time lets you settle in on that end.

I agree that Vaughn is a decent defender, especially for his physical stature and gift(s), but he doesn't have the same ingredients to work with. As soon as Hill learns the rotations, Vaughn is out of the loop completely.

I agree, that doesn't mean we should trade him though.

That's a joke that? Who on earth would take Vaughn, and even Oklahoma wouldn't play him as much as Spurs are playing him right now.

[superbigtime]

Please. JV sucks ass. The whole world knows it. He has no place in the NBA, let alone on a team with championship aspirations. He is absolutely horrible. I don't want Hill learning a damn thing from him. Okay, he's a good citizen. But that has nothing to do with the fact that the opposing defense basically has a 5 on 4 situation whenever he brings the ball up the court. Ahearn a project? Come on. Ahearn as a project is far more palatable than JV continuing to squander leads with his inabilities. At least Ahearn has some ability and talent. Dude is doing great in the scrub D-league. At least he could play with Mason or Manu with Hill and be a three point threat or get to the line. JV can't do either of those. He sucks so bad. It's just embarassing to have him on the team. You know why we won against Denver? Because JV rode the pine all night. Send the little to the Toros and bring back Ahearn or Tolliver or a bag of Funyuns or anything. Next time I see him with the ball will be WAY too soon.
