    Ed Davis came off the bench, got steals and converted which started the momentum for the whole team. I'd give him the game ball for the Utah win even though he didn't score 30pts...he made his presence known on defense..set guys up. I frickin' love Ed Davis..

    Haven't read thread yet but yeah I'm so pumped for our bench too! It really helps having CJ or Dame always in the game then a bunch of lanky wings alongside them. Also having everyone except CJ Dame play under 30mins so they can hustle their butts off. Being so young and hungry the players all do whatever Stotts wants. Compare that to LMA who was set in his ways and going to "get his". It took the young guys a while to learn their roles; they're so athletic.

    I almost think of Plumlee, Vonleh and Aminu as part of our bench too. There's games Ed is far more effective than Plumlee or Vonleh plays 14 mins. If we had 35mpg starters in their place our same bench players aren't near as impactful.

    I was referring to the player's +/-. All of the starters had positive +/-, all of the bench players had negative +/-. Sometimes it'll be the other way around.
