re: What's next for the Hornets?

our lack of bench absolutely killed us in this postseason. we all knew it was a big problem. CP3 and Dwest played their hearts out just to get us into the playoffs, logging way too many minutes, but we just could not afford to not play them or else we'd lose.

We have to develop a bench. Losing jannero pargo hurt A LOT. he was at least worthy enough to spell CP3 for 10-12 minutes and not let the game slip away.

Armstrong just hasn't developed into a reliable backup who can take minutes away from Chandler and West

JuJu wright should be playing more than Peja, or at least spell Peja, but he cannot get on the floor enough

Marks has done decently enough and has hustle, he should be able to provide some bench play.

antonio daniels? Rasual butler? james Posey? Mo pete? Why can't these players reliably give minutes off the bench and not let the score get out of hand before we have to return our starters?

All of our starters being hurt during this playoff series was not a coincidence. Byron played the starters WAY too much during the regular season, causing fatigue for our best players.

Why is our bench so bad and not deep? Players aren't developing or buying into our system? Byron not giving them a chance? Do they just suck? all issues that fall squarely on BYRON's shoulders.

We have got to fortify our bench. However with some of our retarded contracts, it will be hard to get decent bench players, as our current overpaid ones are probally untradeable!

Thus, Byron needs to learn to use the bench EFFECTIVELY and actually COACH these players into their role on our NBA team. A 7 man rotation for 86 games will simply not cut it.

After the first round, there are THREE more series. He cannot expect our starting 5 to log 38+ minutes everygame and make it anywhere in the post season, yet our bench is god awful. Our players simply have to get better!
