    That bench wasn't crap like this years but it actually even went beyond that. It played above its head which is a nice thing to say about Nate. He got the best out of almost all those players outside of possibly Frye.

    And so far Stotts hasn't been able to do as Nate did, and that's make something out of almost nothing.

    He made Sergio look like a useful player at times. No reason Ronnie Price can't be the same way.

    It is nice that it looks like Stotts might actually be starting to try (to get the bench going). We will see if he keeps that up. We can't get any worse in that area (before last night at least).

    Hopefully Stotts uses the players he has on then bench more effectively. They may be green and they may not have much, but it's all we have this season to help the starters.

    Rollin, it looks like you discovered PapaG. Have fun with that conversation!

    What's funny is that people kept saying we have a log jam at every position. Too many good players. "We need a consolidation trade!"

    Looks like a good bench to me. Each one young, energetic, talented, and either still an NBA bench player, or back in Europe by his own choice, or career ended due to injury.

    I was responding to a poster who said that my own opinion was not 'well informed'. I provided a list of the crappy bench that Nate had to work with, for the most part.

    I think that his opinion sucked, just as he thought mine was not 'well informed'.

    I love to watch LMA play like he did tonight against Charlotte. Unfortunately we don't see that much.

    I think he only took 2 shots outside of 15 feet. He also had 13 boards!!! Well done Sir.:clap:

    He played C, and Dame was the focal point. I didn't see that many touches for LA as part of the offense in the fourth quarter. Everything he seemed to get was off a rebound or broken play. Defenses can't key in on him when he's like that.

    The transformation of Dame to our #1 player has begun.

    It had ONE player who had started for another team, but not consistently. You said it had multiple players who had started on other teams.

    Seems as if your opinion was the ill-informed one, doesn't it?

    I had already turned on Marko Todorovic and Jeff Withey, then we went ahead and traded them.
