    Agree. James is tough, especially when he is on fire.

    Bonzi is tough to defend. They're really gonna give us much help

    Dallas can put Eddie Jones, Devin George, or Howard on wells. Where's the size advantage you talking about.

    Well Devean George isn't really a 2 gaurd. Jones and Howard wouldn't be able to handle Bonzi in the post much like all the other 2 gaurds in the league.

    Have you heard of versatility? The ability to play mutiple postions. Jones and Howard for sure can handle bonzi because of their size.

    If you want to know how good our bench is compared to the rest of the league, look at the Nuggets and Sonics boxscore from last night. The top scoring reserve for Denver was Eduardo Freaking Najera! It's like someone else said, Bonzi and James could start for like 20 other NBA teams. I have a feeling that they are going to help us win some games that we had no chance of winning last season.

    Eddie Jones and Josh Howard can size up with Bonzi? Are you serious? Maybe if you put them together, then they'd be about the same size as Bonzi :D

    Thanks for havin my back roffle. I mean I know Bonzi shed some weight but that doesn't mean he's weak now. I don't know what Jerry is thinkin.

    Bonzi is on fire!!!! He is going to steal minutes from somebody. I wish there was room in the starting rotation for him, but its also good to have him providing sparks off the bench. I really like Mike James, he should get as much PT as Alston I hope. Scola will progress with time and should be starting by the time the playoffs roll around.

    Bonzi has great BB IQ but not much human IQ. Sad story, aha.

    The bench will be the mark for this team....

    The bench will be the mark for this team....

    Our niche? The bench.....

    They've out played our starters for a game and almost a half.

    Our bench is key! Any team that wins has to have a good bench. Looks at the.... sorry to say it but .. Spurs. Their bench is great. That's why they win. It's why we will win! Go Rox!
