Damn, there goes the novelty of the silent M.
If you expect Patrick to see more PT, then yes, it is a cruel joke.
One thing that opened my eyes about Mbenga was his personal history... his father likely a victim of political assassination, getting caught up in the Hutu/Tutsi conflict and imprisoned as a teenager destined for execution, escaping prison an getting political asylum in Belgium (who has their own dark history in the Congo... anyone read "Heart of Darkness?"), to his discover by a Belgian coach who developed him into a professional player.
Puts "sport" in context.

Nice guy, but see ya.
All this means is that croshere will be playing again. Which is fine by me. I actually think what he brings to the team will help.
In a perfect world I'd have Obee playing 10-15 backing up Beans. I'd have Wright playing about the same. I'd have Bellie backing at the point which would give us 3 extra young athletic bodies to give this team some rest and life.
But I live in Nellie's world which might have Kosta starting by next week.
I'm fine with Kosta being a practice player. He might be good in his pro debut, but I don't see it.

I "respected" him the most out of all the players in the league. F* the hood, genocide is a bitch! You know he's seen a lot... Actually liked him as a player despite his extra serving of Foyle gloves.
Now it all makes sense as to why Mbenga came into the game in Dallas before POB
