    The starters. Break them up. I don't care about the best bench in the league when the starters are hot garbage.

    We shouldn't have even been in the last 2 games, there's no getting through 4 guys down (3 integral parts), on a young building team without a lot of losses. Question is, when everyone is back, can we play slightly above .500 ball all the way out with the easier schedule starting January and bounce it back up to an 8th seed.

    I'd like to see a ranking of missed games for injuries by team for the latest 5 seasons .

    We used to have old/washed up players but not now

    Hasn"t the medical staff changed this season ?

    Not feeling this team without the young bucks. Don't really want to watch a Lou Williams led team.

    yeah, i haven't watched the last two games (in part because i saw the score whilst recording and figured i'd better just avoid it). but russell and nance make the team much more fun to watch.

    lakers are probably wishing they had signed a younger, more athletic backup pg instead of one of calderon/huertas right now. hindsight's 20/20, i guess.

    Didn't think you've been watching anyway? You've missed some incredible offense from this guy. In the flow, created when needed which has been every game. Spectacular shooting %s and run. Not one chest thump, primal scream or sticking a syringe in his vein. A pro's pro who has been hustling on defense as well. Just sayin'.

    Don't know the difference between having a young or old team we are actually getting more injuries with a younger team. Its frustrating that all these guys keep getting injured...

    Can't blame it on Vitti being old and not with the times any more. Actually this stuff just happens. Come down wrong on someones foot with your ankle, land hard on the floor from in the air, be a puss with a big mouth like DAR ...... :Fishwink:

    I understand Luke wants to keep the bench together, but I'm tired of having to come back in games.

    The starters should be able to hold their own and create a lead of their own. Especially when we have injuries like this, it's just necessary.

    I thought it was kind of a dumb thing to start Ingram/Metta/Deng in a league that doesn't quite consist of big line ups anymore. Time to break up the bench mob for now.

    Question at this point, can't we sign up say Vander Blue from the Defenders on a 10 day contract to give us some bench help while Calderon and Russell heal up? He's been lighting it up in the D League play. I think he'd at least provide a much needed spark.
