    Reastically? It's not realistic to discuss events that are not reastically happenning yet.

    Lowry, Budinger, and Battier impact the game greatly on defense, Offense, or passing. Then Miller is good and so is Hayes and Hill. Hardly any negatives on our bench.

    The Magic has the edge right now but if JR Smith is on fire then Denver will be on top. When JR SMith is lighting things up, no other bench comes close.

    Don't forget Pat, he will make some noise off the bench even as a rook this year imo.

    Hayes will come off with his low post D and Jermaine could come in at the 2 or 3 for some spot minutes.

    I like the flexbility of our entire team.

    we had a deeper bench before the trade.

    this trade just slides everyone to their more natural position.

    My problem with our bench is that Lowry, Lee, Bud, Hill and Miller can all pretty much play one position effectively, and that's it. I like having players who can fill in at more than spot, and I'm not a big fan of 9- and 10-man rotations. I think 8's perfect.

    Oh well. At least there's insurance if/when guys get hurt.

    Now it is. With Lee there and possibly Battier.

    Suns bench and the Celtics Bench is better in my opinion

    Dragic
    Dudley
    Childress
    Warrick
    Channing

    they can win games themselves. Seen them do that in fact (Dragic and the bench last season in the playoffs)

    Celtics is just as good. Also seen them win games themselves without the need for a starter

    Oneal (either one) (Semi Erdeh as well!)
    Big Baby
    Marquis Daniels
    West
    Nate

    Hi - my name is Don FakeFan and i continuously dredge up old posts and rub them in the OPs face because I have nothing better to do with my life than be a troll. I guarantee the next thread that pops up regarding some bold prediction gone wrong is brought up by this idiot. This is the fourth or fifth time he has done this. We get it, this team is trash without two of its best starters. It's old news.
