Do you make Kobe pay up front, or does he just leave the money on the table for you on his way out?

Songalia is a stud, and deserved more minutes. Wallace is a freak of an athlete, but he's undisciplined, and while he could spell someone for a few minutes, bad things will happen if you leave him on the floor for too long in a playoff game.

Buford basically took Peeler's minutes, but should have played more earlier in the series (and in the Dallas series). These bench players NEED to get a shot in the playoffs if you're ever going to see what they're made of.

True indeed but most pro coaches aren't going to start giving young players major minutes unless forced to, especially if there are going to be replacing current or former All Stars in a Game 7. A coah would have to be pretty firmly entrenched in his job to play Songalia or Wallace for too long instead of Peja or even Webber

I feel bad for the Kings. They put together a good squad that was fun to watch. They had a good thing going down in Sac-town for a few years. Looks like they are not going to get a championship with this bunch of guys, though.
