    Good or bad, I think we should go with TRob and Meyers. Let them play, let them learn, let them develop. LA is most likely out for at least two months. We're going to lose games. You can't just replace that kind of production. We're going to drop in the standings. We might as well use this opportunity to see what we have with some of these young guys.

    I agree. This is a good opportunity for the entire bench but Meyers and TRob are going to be the X factor with LA out. I expect Wes to take over as the 2nd option and win us some games until LA returns

    There is a silver lining here. Improvement to Leonard and T Rob will only solidify our bench. I agree we need to take the opportunity to develop them through Aldridge's injury.

    In a way we've been forced into doing what Pop does in San Antonio all the time. Play the bench and keep the starters ready for the playoffs

    Yep and if we can make it through this rough stretch, we can still keep hca in the first round with a much stronger rotation!

    If you're TRob, maybe this opportunity scares the hell out of you. It's another chance to either prove you're worthy or your not. 'Or you're' not is what could scare the hell out of you.

    How many of these opportunities will he get before its confirmed he is just an NBA journeyman.?

    What's the scare him? There's nobody to take his place. We're so decimated right now at the four and five, there's literally nobody else. This is exactly the kind of opportunity he needed. Stotts has no choice but to play him.

    being scared is the last thing I think T-rob is worried about.

    I don't think he knows HOW to be scared.
    And man, I wish MY worst fear was "only" being an NBA journeyman...
