@ ticktock, that’s a tough one. Rasual Butler has the right skillset to be a great bench player, with a deadly shot, good athleticism, and excellent defense skills. Only for some reason, his shot fell off in the second half of the year. He is a good person, which matters for some teams. He’s making 3.6 and 3.9 mil the next few years though, and that’s an expensive backup. I guess the thing to do is A) look to find a team whose system he might fit, or B) a young team, who might value a veteran presence.

But yes. Consistency from the bench would have been nice. Or rather, necessary.

I think it’s clear that it is the bench that needs upgrading. If we had gotten consistent production from Bonzi, Hilton/Ely, and Pargo, things might have been different.

…Yeah Rudy Gay would be awesome young talented and hungry. If Memphis traded they would be like the hawks bunch of good rooks, but nobody like cp leading em. Maby pau’s brother would help em out, but who knows.

… That my first 2nd round playoff game 7 the hornets at N.O. never had that before cus they never had home court he he ha.

Check out Predrag at the 2:05 mark in Game 7 of the 2002 Western Conference Finals.

Were his airballs last night closer to going in than the 2002 shot?

I say yes. You cannot stop progress!
