    I want to gloat

    I said from day 1 this guy needs more consistent playing time. He needs more minutes. Lo and behold, he gets minutes and what happens? What a fucking beast, I love him. Lamar better get his act together.

    Awesome. I loved his play. Powell > Turiaf.

    He should be starting until Drew gets healthy.

    I'll hold off on crowning Powell, I just like having options at least.

    Nobody here is crowning him. Starting him would put Lamar back on the bench, where he belongs. He had that second unit playing awesome ball. There is a reason why they've sucked since Lamar became a starter.

    Maybe we need him on the bench, tough call. I want Lamar getting starting minutes regardless, none of this first half of the season bull.

    Odom has done nothing since his spurt to warrant starting minutes. He's gone into his shell, where he is comfortable. Powell has been consistent all year when given the opportunity.

    Powell has not been that consistent that I automatically make him a starter. We'll just have to test some stuff out but even when Lamar was scoring jack, he passed and rebounded well still.

    Lamar's best impact this year has been off the bench and how he has kept Farmar and Vujabrick in line. That is where he belongs. His stubborn ass will go into even more of a shell though if he is replaced for Powell in the lineup.

    Lamar has had far more impact games than Powell and he kind of saved us against the Cavs.

    Powell plays against back-ups I don't know yet how good he can be given the right amount of minutes. If Lamar goes to the Bench he should also get some time at the 3 or 5. He needs minutes, our bench is too young.

    Yeah I dunno about Josh starting yet. I like him, but maybe if he can produce like this consistently, then I'll give him the nod over Lamar. Right now, I just want him to play consistent minutes, and see more time on the court. Playing him sporadic minutes hinders his contributions. I wish we can find a solid, consistent role for him on this team. He can ball.

    You don't say. Your a fucking genius tonight! Wow, thanks for the wonderful insight captain obvious.

    Our bench is young, that is why Lamar needs to run with them. When he isn't with them, they suck. There is a reason why they've been trash since Drew went down...that's because Lamar isn't running with them and keeping them within their game. Lamar is the leader of that unit, its where he belongs.

    Lamar put together a few good games as a starter, but went right back into that shitty performance mode that he usually gives us. He is a mental midget.

    His mid range game is a lot more respectable than Lamar's, too.

    Is Josh's D good enough? At the end of the day I'm not sure yet he merits more minutes.

    Odom sucked off the bench too.

    Angry? Come one, you should know when I'm angry by now. There wasn't a single expletive in that sentence.

    Lamar's D is nothing to write home about.
