The second unit is a classic D'antoni lineup. Shooters everywhere, great PG court vision, unselfish plays making the extra pass, and DEFENSE???!
They can't. They signed their contracts before the new CBA. Bummer. :boohoo:Amar'e and Melo should immediately restructure their deals to keep their supporting cast.
If we had Popavich, Jackson, Thibs as our coach Amare would be on the bench until he learned how to play D. In the beginning of the season Thibs benched Boozer and Noah because of their lack of play.
The best thing they can bring is more of a chance to rest players during this type of a season.
And BD SHUMP JR NOVAK and (dare I say) JJ are probably the best bench we had since...
BTW LOL at D'Antoni using a ten man rotation, and for Jorts not playing. It may be time to explore trades for draft picks.
QUOTE OF THE NIGHT!!!
" coach Mike D?Antoni said. ?And to be honest, the last couple of days in practice, that group has just kicked our first group?s butt every day, so it wasn?t different. They?ve been playing that way.?
Official Nickname for the bench???????????
Sometimes I find myself thinking that our current bench is playing much better than our starting 5.
I'd like to know what happened to Melo's shot, he's a dreadful shooter this season.
Our bench is fantastic, especially in terms of value - Davis, Novak, Smith, Jeffries and Shump all on minimum contracts - unbelieveable!
