    I'm thrilled that Kobe's minutes are down this year. There's been at least a few games this year where he's only had to play a couple minutes of the fourth, and that's huge for us. Our depth is going to allow us to keep our starters fresh and will also help keep them from getting injured.

    Well, considering the fact that we have at least a couple people on our bench who would probably be starters on other teams in this league...yea, I'd say our bench is damn good. Hell, we have two people who used to start for us buried at the end of the bench in Mihm and Puke. That attests to how far we've come in the last couple years and really shows how well our guys have developed.
