Mavs Vs. Pacers

[Rand10]

Our bench has been playing really well. 24 points on 10-12 shooting at the half.

ahahah i love how granger is called for the tech

[SaintofKillers]

Is this the deepest bench we've had since the Jamison era?

- Lue
- Bass
- Terry
- Allen
- Wright
- Magloire

In the past it was Stackhouse... then Diop.

[Dentor]

Good win. 3 back in the loss column for the division, anything can happen. 3 out of a top 4 spot; tied with Utah for home court if we get to the 5 spot. We get LA twice, Phx, SA, Utah once, we're in control of our seeding.

Deeper, don't forget George...

[Rand10]

We took care of buisness again. I'm getting bored with these blowouts though. Can't wait to see the Lakers on Tuesday.

[arkuo]

we should gain some ground in the standings after this win... LA and san antonio both lost tonight....

[Darren]

I still doesn't quite like Stack's shot selection. Maybe we should get Damp more involved offensively.

[sosafan70]

Blowouts are boring. Next week should be a fun test

I'd rather see blowouts to these teams than see them within 5 to teams that have no buisness being within 5.

But yeah, its these type of games that are either boring or will stir a fire or trade somebody rant.

Except for the 2 Clipper games, all the games between March 18th to April 6th should be exciting.

Lakers (twice)
Warriors (twice)
Celtics
Spurs
Nuggets
Suns

now we're talking!

im gonna be watching those games closely... those will be our barometer on how far we could go in the postseason.... hopefully we'll end up with more wins than losses during that stretch...

Wright and mags don't really count, at least now.
Allen and lue are just role players.

[SaintofKillers]

Allen and lue are just role players.

Whether or not they're roleplayers, communists, all-stars, etc. is irrelevant; it's all about the game.

[myconsumerclub]

Wright is playing significant minutes and great D. With Allen out Mag's should get more time so we can see what he can develop. He did rebound pretty good last night

[Henry Turner]

Ok, i think both are mediocre players. They're not part of what I could consider as a deep bench.
I don't see them having any impact in the POs but wish sincerely to be wrong.

[Sken]

Here is where Lue SHOULD prove you wrong Mr. Turner. IF you never see JET running the point in the playoffs - Lue is playing meaningful minutes...

IF we limit the amount of time that Bass and Dirk play together then Allen and/or Mags is producing.

Like I said, it's all about the game. Portland had a bench 5 or so years ago that was loaded with names and talent (i.e. Augmon, Strickland, Mcinnis), but they weren't productive. Hell, the deepest benches in the league this year (Pistons and Lakers to be exact) comprise primarily of roleplayers who wouldn't even start on most teams, but they're pretty darn effective and that's all that matters.

I don't see them having any impact in the POs but wish sincerely to be wrong.

That's probably true, but that neither affirms nor negates the label of a "deep bench"
