Not that the starters suck, but this is one of the best 2nd units I've seen in a long time. Absolutely solid defense every night, unselfish ball movement and hustles on fast breaks. Clyde was right when he said Terry, Brewer, J Smith and now T Jones can be starters for other teams. Maybe not a good team, but they're killing opponent benches. We wouldn't have won against Dallas with last years bench.

ditto...i hope smoove will not be carried away by his recent hot shooting streak...
Fact is that momentum in games is a real thing, while not tangible itself, you can tangibly see the effect it has when teams are on runs and how it can dramatically effect the outcome of games when you can generate any momentum.

I think Jones will earn the starting spot back once his minutes are increased.

Jones should start but over Dorsey not D-Mo. I have a bad feeling Dwight will be out the rest of the season.
Harden is still a work-in-progress. He can score, but he can't help his teammate that much - Yao Ming

i think the reason the bench is more fun to watch is because we are actually moving the ball on offense and play better defense
when harden is in the lineup you know it is iso after iso on offense and harden will slack off once awhile on defense

I don't agree on Dwight at all, but I do welcome a DMO/Jones starting pair.
