    Respect, dude! Without Bonzi, we don 't have a bench! Snyder can 't shoot and Head is overrated ... The bench sucks and could cost us the 1ste round!

    Bonzi was nothing but a detriment to this team. He was in no condition to play, both physically and mentally. Let's face it, Bonzi was never meant to play for this team.. he could've cost us more games in the playoffs just as much as some people claim he could've helped us go beyond.

    Now some people would argue that Bonzi could change and go berzerk like he did last season. But like how Tmac changed from 05 to now, Bonzi isn't the same player he was last year. He went Charles Barkley and got fat.

    I think it's a joke if there is ANYONE blaming JVG or any coach for this. I lost all respect for Bonzi Wells. He's the one that quit on the team. Screw him, all this talked of allegedly taking less money to win a championship and he turned his back on this team and 100% blame goes to him. Do you think Michael Jordan or Larry Bird or Magic Johnson would have quit the team in midseason over a coach!? We don't need him and I'm glad he's gone.

    Meanwhile Larry Brown lost complete control of the Knicks so I guess Brown isn't perfect huh? Meanwhile there was infighting among the Pistons in the playoffs last year that might have cost them. A lot of players were turning on Flip Saunders. Meanwhile, Saunders did NOTHING with Rasheed Wallace, he had matured long before Flip came on the scene. Meanwhile, I'm trying to see these great skills you claim that Flip Saunders has in handling players. The same skills he showed in letting a team with Latrell Sprewell and Sam Cassell completely disintegrate after going to the WCF because of fighting over contracts? If he is so great at handling problematic players why did he let that team come apart one year after making a serious run at a championship?

    I blame on JVG not developing our bench early on!
    I blame on our Duo not playing with "must win" attitude.
    I blame on myself expected Rockets too much.

    I agree that Bonzi is a knucklehead but right now, the Rox need all the points they can get other than Yao and T-mac.

    I don't want to be critical of JVG's decision-making process and I'm sure he has given him enough chances, but right now Bonzi could have been a difference maker and a valuable source of offense coming from the bench.

    Right now, Bonzi could have been Derek Fisher's worst nightmare in the low post. Instead, Derek is having a great time watching T-mac launch brick after brick from the perimeter.
