I've noticed that no matter who is missing we still win one lose one. Because every player on the team is about as good as the guy in front of him there really is noone on the roster that affects our record win or lose. It's time to consolidate the talent. Turn the depth into a trade that can bring in a player that improves on some of our weaknesses so that we can actually take a step up in wins and losses instead of constantly for two years making god darn excuses.

Yes. That's why the excuses about us missing players annoy us to no end. I actually think when we're around 8 of our good players, we play the best, since it removes some of the redunancies, and guys are FORCED to have clear roles, which are obscured when there's large rotations. Like it or not, but almost every team in this league has a top three better than our top three. We're all about depth. As such, since depth is our strength, we can't complain about injuries as much as other teams. I agree it's time to consolidate the talent. However, if it's Isiah, I think he will bring in two more shoot-first PGs, since a team can never have enough of those.

I agree, been saying it for two years now. It's the equivilant of having 5 #3 pitchers in baseball instead of a 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

Yes, but baseball is a little different. Upsets happen in baseball much more frequently than in basketball. In basketball, the team with the best player and best team is significantly more likely to win a series. In baseball, the team with 5 #3 pitchers has a chance, even if they are a major underdog because of it.
