What and endless thread.  The belief is that the coaching staff that works with these guys every day has a much better sense of whether they are ready to play in a game like last Friday than you do.  Or I do.  Or the Seattle guy does.  Given that Cam was hurt and played like crap honestly, and Stewart and Ross still didn't get in, I'm fairly comfortable suggesting that they aren't ready for a game like that.

I'm not sure people appreciate [B]how hard our defense and offense are to run[/B].  We aren't running ordinary stuff these guys ran in HS.  Our whole rough stretch last year came when teams exposed our inability to cover the paint when the 5 is out.  It's a lot of responsibility to know if it's your job to move off your man and cover the paint and when to move back and have somebody else take it.  When Hurley suggested Castle might not start before the season, that was why.  He didn't have it down.  Given that Hunter shoots from outside, we know that DC/SJ would need to move out to cover him.  So that defensive rotation was absolutely critical.  It is less critical tonight.
