most importantly Monty Williams improves. i loved his 1st year in the league and our match ups in the playoffs. he's really become complacent on the sidelines and more erratic/clueless on his lineups and lack of game plan + ability to stick to that game plan. id like to see our coaching pay more attention to other teams weakness's and exploit those weaknesses the Entire game. also just common sense coaching improvements. when a player is hot, keep him in the game. when its the 4th quarter of a blowout, rest your best players and live to fight another day.

Coach Monty is fine... how can you "stick to the game plan" when you have an injured team like we did last year. also from what I've heard from summer league, russ smith has a lot to work on before becoming back up pg. i'd like to see him come out hot and prove me wrong but as of right now, that sounds like a nightmare.
Gordon and Evans and Rives getting to the free throw line like they deserve (refs calling the fouls when they happen). If they got the same respect as Dwade or Harden or Ginobli we would be a much more efficient team and the other team would have some foul trouble and have to use more bench minutes. Gordon was especially ignored by the refs last year, and that has to change back if he is going to be effective.
