Watching the Bucks vs. N.O. Ridnour is handling the ball quite a bit. He and Jennings are kind of sharing the PG duties.

I always loved Mike Wilks for a backup. He was an awesome team guy and he could play. He got a little run with the team in the teams last year in Seattle.

I think the reason why DJ doesn’t get any touches in the post is because of the offense Scotty uses. We don’t post up hardly anybody. Brooks likes to spread the floor and that even includes Krstic. Watch the LA game and see how they purposefully put Bynum on the block and feed him. It never happens for us.

And seconds later:

The #OKCTHUNDER has waived forward Ryan Bowen. A backup point guard could soon be added.

HOLY CRAP!

It’s not all bad, folks. S. Livingston had stitches removed from his knee 2day & says the timetable for his return is up to him. #OKCTHUNDER

yeah well no lead is ever safe, but the odds of winning with a 15 point lead and 4 minutes has to be pretty high.

@f5alcon I would say up 15 with 8 mins to maybe, maybe 4 min mark. After that 4min mark, in NBA, its too risk with only a 15 point lead :)

yeah im sure thats the case, but i feel like we risk injuring our stars needlessly, esp the last minute of the game, no reason for starters then if we are up by double digits, maybe my 8 mins is to risky, but the last minute or 2 isnt, our bench is much better then last year they shouldnt collapse like they did last year.

f5alcon :
dork : @f5alcon Good idea but bad in action. If you take starters out of the game when they are up by 10 (which in the league is not a decent margin) and the starters are no longer “with the flow” of the game and come back ice cold you would loose a lot more games than you would think.
I had said last 8 mins of the game, so really they wont sit more then a few minutes, against utah durant checked back in with 6 minutes left, we had a 16 point lead, he missed 2 shots and had a TO the rest of the game, so him being in the game didnt help us, he could have sat 3 more minutes if we waited until it was an 8 point game.

I'm guessing that Durant gets to play whenever he feels like it... and since he loves playing... that's going to be often.
