I don't understand why Mike Dunleavy plays Correy off the bench. Obviously, Correy showed he was capable of leading the clippers with a 37-45 record two years ago. Now, after Correy's injury, SHOULDN't he start? i don't get that. Sure he commits plenty of TO's, but he draws fouls and heads to the FT line. Ross may be a better defensive player, but his overall play lacks in comparative aspect to Maggette. Shaun Livingston is supposely going to be one of the better guards out there. However, all i see is TO's, inexperience with critical moments of the game, and basically no offensive/ defensive presence at all. I give him kudos for having a good eye for the players under the rim, but assists don't make up for area for an overall player. Sam Cassell dishes out more assists, more points, rebounds, and steals in the fewer time he is alloted. THUS, GET RID OF ALL THE Sh*tty players, BRING CORREY BACK INTO THE LINE UP. I DON'T KNOW WHY HE COMES OFF THE BENCH. THE CLIPPERS'll BE SO MUCH BETTER

I agree. Livingston in my opinion is to tall to be a point guard, he reminds me of Marko Jaric, and look at how bad he is. Maggette should start, but they don't start him probably so they have someone coming off the bentch, i dunno, i think coach dunleavy is on drugs or something.

We have the same problem in Chicago. Here in Chicago Ben Gordon can give you 20, 5 and 5 every night as a bench player, a spark, a catalyst. But, with suspect defense and his 6-10 minute at a time cold spells. Great coaching by Skiles and Dunleavy.

They play better by having Corey become a spark off the bench than if he was starting. It's all about chemistry and situation

I agree. Have you heard of the posible trade of Livingston and Maggette and their 1st round draft pick for A.I.

YOU HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF BASKETBALL OR STRATEGY. YOU CAN HAVE A GOOD SCORER COMING OFF THE BENCH.
HERE ARE A FEW NAMES: RICKY PIERCE, DELL CURRY AND BOBBY JACKSON. GO TO THE HISTORY OF THE NBA AND FIND OUT ABOUT SIXTH MEN.
THE BEST THING TO DO IS TO KNOW WHAT THE HECK YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT.
PLUS IT IS NOT WHO STARTS A GAME BUT WHO FINISHES IT.
