    I don't understand how people can't see that our bench is better. Yes, it's not a great bench but it's a lot better than the softies we had last year and the inconsistent shooting.

    People say the bench isnt an upgrade cause Most of the bench is unproven over a 82 game regular season.

    Most everybody can go is wait and see what happens. Imo, the only ones that will be playing come April is Dmo/Daniels/Terry

    The only question mark about the bench is backup center

    we are one solid point guard away...i still think bev is a defensive specialist, great for different match-ups and playoffs, but we need a true point guard before we turn the curve...that means out of the 2nd round...tj has progressively improved and if he improves yet again this year it will be good, he has the tools to be very solid, this team will go as far as harden can take us, dwight is the leader by default right now, but harden to me is the key to greatness, howard just needs to maintain.

    with the exception of a true point guard and one can argue if we need a true point guard, I think the bench is balanced.. You got a couple of vets in Garcia and Terry. You got some distance guys in Terry and Daniels. You got some toughness in Dorsey and Adrien. Those are things we didn't have last year.

    I think you need both - howard and harden. some games howard will be dominating inside with his defense and some games harden will be unstoppable with offense. As long as they are able to work in the flow of the game naturally then we will be all right.

    knowing what happen last season..Harden and Dwight will play less min this season or have a few days off due injury..the 2nd unit bench sucks..Expect to lose some games..i dont see us making the playoffs but i have some faith i guess..

    Dwight is starting to show he has leadership qualities. But lets face facts, nothing is going to change until the coach is out. Maybe this season (hopefully early on) most of our wishes will come true!

    Interestingly, Harden had a higher TS% than did Aldridge for the playoffs.
