To paraphrase Rick Pitino in Roy's sig:
The negativity round here sucks.
I don't see much negativity, rather a lot of bipolarism. A few days ago the bench was extraordinary and was winning us the games, now it sucks.
I think the truth is somewhere in the middle: it's not a top-notch bench, it doesn't have the Lakers' one quality, nor the depth of Indiana or the quality and depth of Houston. On the other hand, there are far worse benches on the league. For the regular season, this bench, including the guys who are out of the rotation, is more than enough. For the play-offs, I'm not so sure. PO basketball has a premium on consistency, heady play, experience and size, and this bench has some flaws.
As for Bill Walker, what do people want to see now that they didn't see in the pre-season?
but, this TA that's playing right now? sure.
TA from last year? nope.
Which TA played the last 2 games?
