Unless spur fan uses it to pump his team up......
No, deep implies you'd happily play the 10th guy decent minutes, and that is not the case. They are top heavy.
Let's say you lose Artest, your starting SF becomes Walton, a huge drop-off, especially defensively. You lose a frontcourt player and Odom needs to start, which means your bench is garbage (as demonstrated today) You lose a guard and Farmar, a guy playing for his NBA life, who has done nothing in 3 years, comes in. THAT is NOT "deep", that is TOP HEAVY.
You ers have a combined IQ of about 47...
Ahaha...lets go through this then..player by player
Kobe: Top 2 player in the NBA
Pau:Best 2nd option in the NBA
Bynum: ALl star this year most likely? Looks great so far
LO:Beastin past 2 years...looks great...best 6th man in the league atm
Artest:Ex DPOY..still one of the best SF in the league
Fisher:Steady influence...clutch shooter...good PG
There is your 6...here is the bench:
Brown:Who many scouts think is BETTER than Fisher...one of your 6...great energy...teams would love to have this guy
Farmar:Backup PG...go head and list the back PG's in the league...he is better than half of them...playing for his life...no doubt he will get a contract next year unless he pulls a Sasha of last year
Powell:Solid backup 4. Very nice touch. Good energy and a good rebounder. No post game. Very servicable...its just most people don't know it...he rarely sees minutes behind the trio. When he does get minutes he produces...remember last year? @ SA? Ring a bell?
Walton: Walton..while not athletic...doesn't mean he is a scrub. Name the backup SF in the league and he is right in the middle of the pack IMO. Very smart player. Tremendous experience. Not an NBA player?
That right there is 9 players.
Looks like the Lakers are TOP HEAVY....AND DEEPP......SCARY HUH?

So your saying that Derek Fisher is an All-Star caliber player? I just want to be clear on that.
gordon deserves to play on a better team
Baron Davis is fat as .
+1
Only player on the Clippers with any kind of heart. Poor guy.
That lumberjack beard adds 20 pounds on camera.
What's Shaq then ?
Playoffs you're correct, but during the regular season a lot of teams play 9-10 deep for a lot of different reasons - matchups, tempo, hot/cold streaks, resting vets, etc. Would you like me to pull up 20 random boxscores from last year and we'll average the number of players per team who play over 5 minutes? I'd bet on about 9.2.I'm just breaking down your own pathetic self assurances for the masses. Fact is hardly any teams really use a 9 or 10 man rotation unless the last couple are only getting spot minutes here or there. You should know that with your vast experience in basketball
Face it you went up and down how the Lakers weren't gonna win and what happened?? Your predictions and basketball analysis are pathetic (anybody but the Lakers). Nothing but a typical spurs homer.
You've got nothing if you can't play the man. You're yet to make a cogent argument. You have a strong, shallow team, and over the course of the season I bet I'll find you and other Faker fans cursing the weakness of your bench (beyond Odom and Brown). We shall see.
Obese.
What you guys ALWAYS fail to mention is that statistically the Spurs had the 2nd best chance that year to get Duncan. So, why tank if you can't control the odds of winning the big prize? EXPLAIN THAT!

Who the cares about regular season. The Lakers can ing sleepwalk into the playoffs. Are you actually arguing about the regular season. You're more of a homer then I thought. ing laughable.
Bad game.
But a win is a win.
Do you know what the definition of odds is??
Did that stat just say that Phil is 11-5 on opening day games after he's won the NBA le?
Um...?
No ruffblahblah said we are top heavy
He said our starters tonight + Pau.
That includes Fish...
Wow how amazing the Fakers beat the clippers
Lakers are..
You know you're good when you score 33 points and there's absolutely no reaction to it because it's considered an ordinary game.
Firstly, I never criticised your starters, I admitted they are very strong, so forget that bit.
Brown I already said I like, and Powell for what he is (an outside big). But you have no guard depth - Farmar has proven nothing, Vuja is a waste of space - and as for Walton, nice offensive player who is an absolute hole on D. I'd rate your bench somewhere around the middle of the league. I still wouldn't call it "deep" or "talented", as we saw tonight.
Did I do that? No, I didn't, so once again you project and put words in my mouth. Bad habit, that, and it makes you look weak.
Gotcha.
Thanks.
@ you actually thinking I give a what you think
You said your top 6 players are basically All-Stars.
Then you said Fish was your 6th best player.
So I just wanted to clarify if you really thought Fish was an All-Star caliber player.
There will be lots of teams losing to the Clippers this year. Still, this was no win to gloat about, just like there's nothing to laugh about the Rockets losing to the Blazers today.
Next game.
Who the plays thier 10th guy decent minutes?! Even "deep" teams dont do that. LOL.
