"Our bench is terrible, and bench is really important." Okay then, how are we 8 games up on second place? Luck? "But the playoffs?" Bench minutes go down in playoffs , not up. "But what if we lose one of our best starters, we may be in trouble" Sure, but so would anybody. There are no teams that have bench players that can come in and replace a top 2 player when one goes down. If you lose a starter , you know who you look to fill the pts, defense, everything you lost....Your other starters. We are deep. For scorers we have : Tatum, Porz, Brown, Jrue, White, Al, PP, Hauser....We are 8 deep in guys who can score For defernders: maybe take away PP, so we are 7 deep in guys who can defend, but maybe add Tilman in so back to 8. This is how depth works. Its not, if player x goes down, player y replaces him. Depth is determined by team, not having a starting caliber backup at every position. Thats why when someone gets hurt and teams keep winning, its multiple guys stepping up. Other starters start scoring more, defending with more versatility, and sure maybe a bench guy or 2 gets some increased minutes and plays welll - but you dont look exclusively to these bench guys That being said, I dont have a problem with pointing out things that can derail us. Nobody is , has ever been, nor will ever be "derail proof" Of course injuries are #1 on list of things that can hurt us, but guess what? They always are. You think Bucks bench will save them if one of top 2 go down? Nuggets? Cavs? If these guys lose a key starter, they are likely toast, and if they arent its not because their #7 man comes in to save the day. Its a team effort. And our team is deep with players who can score and defend. I'll go with 7 deep. Is 7 enough? My concern. When and if will Tillman get enough minutes to settle in? Stevens was a little slow adding ammo and Maz is like Barney Fife he has one bullet and its not in his revolver. You friend rkarp in Providence needs to be charged with hit a run.

With friends like mitch, who needs enemies? I thought he was your friend. Mitch pushed thu all of Trumps agenda . Cut the EPA and and restricted all EPA regulations that had been in place for years.. Tax cuts for the rich and large corporations. He also stopped Obama from appointing Garlend to the supreme court. Now we have a lopsided 6 to 3 conservative court which struck down Roe vs Wade and just yeaterday delayed Trumps trial likely till after the election. One of us is confused on your position on politics. Are you not an Republican and a deep centered conservative or have i misjudged you for over a decade. Saying your a Libertarian don't count Cole. You vote Republican. Simple Yes or No . Now you answer won't piss me off if you honestly answer it. Squirming away under the Libertarian umbrella that don't exist will show you have no character. I would be deeply hurt i think highly of you. I'm a libertarian who believes the federal government should be stripped back to it's original intention. Mitch likes to cut taxes but he likes to spend even more. So does trump. I thought you knew that

I also know there are 0 Libertarians on the national ballot and none statewide will ever win an election. One of two Cole. You vote Republican ? or. You don't vote?. I'll answer that. You vote Republican across the board i'm fairly damn sure.. Your vote usually contributes to the excessive spending is a fair statement. . Obama was the only president that didn't increase the national debt to record levels. Have you once acknowledged that the Demo's under Obama kept the debt reasonable. You hiding under that Libertarian flag just as i expected.

Another link shows Clinton was the best at managing the national debt. Both links could be slanted but it's obvious the Demos do a better job than the Republicans the past 40 years.. www.thebalancemoney.com/deficit-by-president-what-budget-deficits-hide-3306151

I would be deeply hurt i think highly of you. As much as I dislike garland, at the time I was public on the forum I didn't believe they had the right to thwart his nomination. At least it should have been taken to a vote. At one point mitch had to be re-elected and kind of pretend to be conservative but he trashed all that at the end. IMO of course.

There has to be a special place in Hell for the "principled" Mitch McC.
Refusing to give Garland a hearing in 2016 because it was an election year and then pushing/rushing thru Barrett after general election voting had already started in 2020 will be his lasting legacy.
And McConnell worries with a straight face that the now ultra conservative SCOTUS has somehow lost credibility!
Poor, sad Mitch..... what an ending.... and he didn't see it coming?!?

Yes i remember you saying it was wrong to not take a vote. I'm not a Garland fan myself he seems too soft. Mitch would have had a career in Hollywood as a actor . Mitch is a big spender of other peoples money your opinion is factual. He never was a conservative. He's all in on two things. Helping his wife make money thu his government position and helping KY get more than their share of Pork Barrel money. Him stepping down now changes nothing he's has been reduced to a figurehead for at least two years now.

Just my point of view from a broken liberal country. The left has turned into a gong show. Ocasio really embedded some BS in some people's heads there that does not work. Learn from Canada. Whats "liberal" is a form of enriching those guys on that seat while the country turns into a third world one.

Bush pissed away trillions in the two wars he started. Today neither Iraq or Afghanistan are our friend or a safe free country. You might find this odd. I liked his father old man Bush alot. It was unfortunate he got stuck with Reagan's trickle down economy which was a failure. Regan's 8 years was the start of the ''Great Demise'' for this country. Clinton made an attempt to right the ship but sense Clinton left it's slipped deeper into the abyss.

W got big money from the bcci worldbank nuff said Yeah i know about the money and the FBI. My thoughts He started no stupid war and inherited a faulty economy. Lesser of two evils Cole is all we have had as long as i can remember. That drives my vote Biden was or is the lesser of two evils Reagan and the CIA sold arms to the the Somoza family regime in Nicaragua and helped contribute to the Cocaine and Crack problem that started in the 80s. Ollie North was convicted Reagan couldn't remember his own name while testifying. Just Say No by Nancy was all bullshit and she knew it. So far Obama hasn't been tied into receiving foreign money but i venture all presidents do some form of unethical or illegal deeds. FYI. I don't trust the FBI one inch or and 3 letter government agency. I could be a libertarian like you if there was a viable candidate.
