​Looking at the San Antonio Spurs at the halfway point of the season

How are the San Antonio Spurs looking at the halfway mark of their season?
Host Jeff Garcia and former Spur and Locked On Spurs own Devin Brown break down how the San Antonio Spurs’ resilient defense, led by breakout performances from Stephon Castle, Keldon Johnson, and Victor Wembanyama, has exceeded expectations.

Major topics include the impact of the team’s defensive improvements, Mitch Johnson’s rookie head-coaching success, and whether Devin Vassell and De’Aaron Fox can regain their early-season form. The episode highlights surprising bench production, the importance of Dylan Harper’s hot start, and discusses tough losses to the Jazz, Cavaliers, and Grizzlies.

  1. I honestly think the you are too lenient on Mitch (I am using his name as the representation of coaching staff overall). A for Mitch is way too high. He is C+ or B- at best. I get that he is a "rookie" coach but he had a whole year last year to figure out what the strength of this squad is. We escaped with close W against so many bottom feeder of the NBA (Wizards, Pelicans, Pacers) and lost to bad teams (Jazz, Portland and Mephis who had injured team) and Mitch has played key role on those games. I understand he is a rookie coach but he has had time to work with little bit with Wemby and Fox last year and whole year with Steph, KJ, Vassell, Barnes, Sochan, and he still can't seem to figure out how to play with them. He has bias toward certain players and only sticks with them (Barnes, and letting Castle keep running PG even when you have better facilitator in Fox.) He does not have many plays and his rotation has been mediocre at best.

    I do think players like him but I do think he needs to really figure out how to use players and be more creative: use Wemby in correct way and change up the line up instead of just relying on same line up over and over.
