    Let's get this thread back on track Nate, no need to derail it

    Mo is our best bench player, that's obvious, so who to upgrade?

    We just need more scoring. I don't care where it comes from. If it's from a front court player, like Hawes, great... if it's from a guard like CJ, also great. I don't care where it comes from. I just want a consistent scorer off the bench. Mo has had some good games for us, but it's so inconsistent. Maybe if we tried Earl, he would get more out of Wright, Robinson and Freeland. I just want to see Stotts try something different.

    I'm just glad the problems with Nate don't end with me. Both "troll" and "homer".....quite the range you have

    Look we could use some help on the bench that much is simple. Mo Williams is more inconsistent than Batum, Wright is an average bench player serviceable but not a game changer, Robinson and Freeland also decent at times. The issue is in a playoff series do you really trust this bench to hold a lead or build one? I do not, hopefully McCollum will add some needed depth and scoring off the bench but the team still could afford to go out and try and find a big.

    Anyone mentioning Earl Watson as a solution should be forced to root for the Bobcats cause that is just disgusting.

    Earl isn't a scorer, but he is a point guard. The whole point of trying him out would be to see if he makes the guys around him better. Not expecting him to torch the nets.

    I've probably edited a grand total of 4 or 5 of your posts in five years, so you're going to have to try a little harder to prove that I'm causing you problems.

    If Wright needs better passing in order to be functional, and the other bench players need better ball movement, then maybe the only thing we need is to make sure that Wright is only on the floor with Dame, and Mo is only on with Batum.

    If the starters put away games earlier, we'll see more bench scoring. Mo had a couple of cold shooting nights out of 20 games, not such a big deal.
