I think what the thread starter is trying to point out is the way our bench stepped up with TMac out. Would they have picked it up if Tmac was with us? maybe maybe not. Im pleased with they way all the players picked up the slack today. My observations Rafer did not jack up as many 3pt shots as usual he actually setup the offense and penetrated alot more as a team we attacked the basket relentlessly JHoward provided a huge lift off the bench if he can give us offensively 14pts / 4rebs if he can give us 10 / 8 off the bench every night I will be happy. Bonzi is starting to get into a rythem and im pretty excited to see what he can do at full strength. JL3 coming in gave us a huge spark and he set up the offense and attacked the basket. overall very pleased with how we played now when Tmac comes back and all the experience everyone is getting will go a long way to help this team down the line.
As horry said, having tracy out for this amount of time has really speeded up yao's development. made him into a more aggressive player. this was good for the team in a perverse kind of way.
