our bench is looking kinda bad right now because our go to guy mcdyess can't hit the side of the barn right now. that's messing up the offense for the rest of the guys on the second unit. also arroyo is the main ball handler with no help out there so it seems like he over dribbles our second unit needs delfino.

i think the only difference between our bench and other teams is that other teams play thier bench. flip needs to start putting the bench on the floor so they can contribute. we are also a healthy team so none of our bench players never really get extended minutes because of injury. other teams have gave thier bench players lots of development minutes because of injury and suspensions in the case of indiana. don't sleep on our bench they are just getting started.
Easy fella, you make it sound like I slept with your mom or something. Its nothing personal, just my opinion.

Our bench has sucked. That is where we miss Hunter. Our starting 5 is the one that has been putting up the 100 point games and winning us 8 games to start the season (all against teams we should beat), not our bench. So that point is moot.

Name me 1 game that our bench has won for us. Or 1 game so far this season that our bench has outperformed the opponents.

8-1 is nice, as was 8-0. I'm not complaining about the record, I'm just saying that the team is better, deeper and more experienced with Hunter on it.

Hunter is the defensive specialist, but we still need an experienced, legitimate scorer off the bench.

Potential is nice, but production is what matters (just ask the Lions).
