Ah gotcha. My bad. Would've been more obvious if posts like your sarcastic one were less common.

I honestly haven't seen the bench play so pathetic in such a long time....Watson completely ruin what they had...They better get burks ready for tomorrow night cause the second Watson comes in, I am not watching.

Our PG situation at Starter is not a problem, nor is at Bench....the only problem is 3rd string coming in for bench.

Mo is great, and best were gonna get until a draft pick. Tinsley is sufficent enough to win, and tonight proves he can not only run the bench, but can run the starters....

We should really have Burks play bench PG, to give him them minutes. I mean splitting half with Watson is a nightmare.

Nah.

They CONSTANTLY swing the momentum back our way. Almost every game. I have seen you acknowledge this and you have gone into depth about how our starters are not as good as this starters and that's why we get down.

Yea I said that but I also said our starting unit is still way better than our bench. The bench players pulls us back versus other bench players, if they played against full starting units consistently like our starters do than it would be a different story. The bench guys will often give those points back real fast when the other team puts their starting unit in versus them.

Plus most of the good bench play is about hayward anyway, who is getting more minutes and not the other guys. The other guys are way more inconsistent if you look at them game to game which I harp on it every game because you guys ignore it. I mean I remember at one of the clipper games Favors and Burks only played 19 mins a peice and were about to foul out and had a turnover and bricking spree later in the fourth and people got mad at corbin for taking them out at that time. And I'm like what game are you watching, they should be bench forever for that crappiness. So saying corbin should play bench guys more time versus starters when they won't do well in major minutes versus starters is stupid and this is why fans are not coaches.

And the portland situation was different. Everyone got fired pretty much, not just the coach (well on second thought the jazz do need a massive overhaul : get rid of KOC first) and thats because he wanted everyone to take the blame that they werent way over .500. That team was still only a game behind us when Mcmillian got fired, they really weren't that bad considering they lost key players in the off-season and had to implement a new system with no training camp to compensate the lost of roy, miller, ect ... They are not much better than that now, the only real difference is you replace fat felton (who is the real culprit) with lilliard which is a huge upgrade. I seen many blazer games last year and with mcmillian everyone except mabey fat felton were playing as hard as they normally do. The media just blew the situation up when aldridge looked like he took a game off on a 3 in a row game stretch which most nba players did. That team doing better now has little to do with them deciding to play harder.
