Re: Bledsoe and Barnes

No offense to how Vinny is using him ... but if Eric Bledsoe were a starter on some other team he'd be among the best in the league. That guy needs more minutes. But heaven forbid I question the pure coaching GENIUS of Vinny Del Negro. He has the most talented team in the league and is one game over .500 for the last 10.

And as to Barnes ... WHY isn't he playing for OKC? Dammit we needed him.

Re: Bledsoe and Barnes

Where does Barnes fit in OKC's rotation?

Not seeing Bledsoe as elite. He a good player but not great

Great happens when the opportunity is there. He hasn't had that opportunity yet.

I don't know.

Re: Bledsoe and Barnes

I've been wondering how they're going to play everyone as it is. I see Billups was playing tonight and eventually Hill will be back. I wonder if he is going to be able to juggle these guys the right way.

I know kc is good at juggling something

Pretty big bummer that OKC traded Bledsoe away.

yep. Bledsoe and CP3 were tearing them up with steals. It was so ugly.

Re: Bledsoe and Barnes

If you were starting a team with Calipari guards, I'd think Bledsoe would be fairly far down on the bench.

Re: Bledsoe and Barnes

that would only be because that snake oil salesman has had so many talents ... and I am not so sure that Bledsoe shouldn't be towards the front.

I suspect you guys aren't watching him play. The kid has amazing skills and physical talents.

Would you put him ahead of Derrick Rose, Tyreke Evans and John Wall?
I doubt it, even though all three of them might be hurt right now.

I have watched him play and he makes CP better in that Paul can rest longer
and there is no drop off. The Clips are crazy loaded with a bench that will outscore every other bench in the league.
