Message: [QUOTE="itsasport, post: 3011605, member: 306"] The entire bench has shown itself to be able to, depending on the opponent, fit into the starting five, one or two at a time, and contribute. They know that, the starters and the coaches know that now. Geno has said that they all do much better in practice than in the games. They just need to calm down. There is the rest of the season to give them the game play to be able to do that. Kelly Faris once said that it was a good feeling to be able to take a few minutes rest, confident that the subs would do OK. Clearly the starting five will play most of the minutes in the final games; but, the bench would be really significant in winning the championship, if they could give the starters a few minutes rest here and there; and. even provide additional height, fresh legs on defense and a few points.
