Are you really trying to compare the Nets bench to the Knicks bench? Yes the Knicks are poorly constructed and poorly coached. Yes the Nets are poorly constructed too, but the Nets poor construction includes a crappy bench. The Knicks are poorly constructed with too much duplicative talent, emphasis on talent. Bench vs Bench, the Knicks win every time

The best I can say is that I'm not sure Cartwright has the energy to light a fire under the butt of these underachievers, but that's really it.
