Another Warmup Win

did they talk about the lack of PT for the rookies on the telecast in the 2nd half?

The bench was absolutely brutal, for the most part. Powe picked up a couple quick fouls and struggled until the 4th quarter when he finally broke out and played a key role. Eddie House looks OK, but otherwise the bench made waaay too mant mistakes and didn’t capitalize on opportunities.

I think Pruitt has earned himself a roster spot. Miles should be cut. He had that one post move where he slipped by his man to reach the cup, but otherwise looks “stale”.

Tony is still wildly inconsistent, swinging from looking like the best player on the floor to absolute knucklehead.

POB is just OK. Great block on LeBron and his long arms help him keep balls alive and rebound, ubt otherwise he looks like a 3rd string center. Perkins also looked just “OK” for a first time out there. Still a foul-commiting machine.

Baby plays with energy, no doubt, but sometimes can’t get out of his own way.

I thought Bill Walker would get a little burn in the 2nd half, but Doc wanted to see other guys tonight.

Other than the starters, this was a painful game to watch. This team’s bench is a work in progress and it’s concerning to me. It’s not as deep a team as I thought.

Starters = great, benchers = bad but we’ll need some patience. I kept looking for something to get excited about from the bench and I kept not seeing anything. It was not POB’s best game. Miles is almost invisible. Powe scored because they kept feeding him, but he was not getting it done defensively. It was clear to me that House was the best of the bunch because of his experience, but we all know what we’ve got in him. In a real game we would have seen much more starters who looked great. When Pierce or Ray played with the benches it was painfully clear how much better than everyone else they were.
