Agreed. Doc and the bench were horrific during this trip. Doc seems afraid to play Pruitt against good teams. Give the kid a shot.
Agree with you there to..Pruitt deserves a shot.TP
But what do you expect from bench players that dont get a chance to play??? I have said it from day one that we wont be winning the championship again this year because:
a) The bench is not strong enough
b) Doc does NOT utilise his bench as much as I would have liked.
I know he is afraid of messing things up by giving the starting 5 more rest, but that is the only thing that will change our bench from being a mediocre players and into a bench that can support our bid to banner no. 18.
IF we look at our bench we can see Tony Allen is getting his garbage minutes here and there and so is Powe and Big Baby but we are not seeing O´Bryant or the other two rookies, let alone Pruitt getting any chance at all. What eventually will happen is people will get injured/fatigued when we get to post-season and the playoffs will be extremely difficult. I really dislike Lakers but I believe they will be the champs this season but the only team that can stop them is us, and we need our team to have fresh legs when we get into the playoffs.
