"Mr. Bush! Mr. Chaney! I found more Reserves!"

#6 "Visit" Russia a.k.a Orlando. The Magic. What get’s Putin and Turkoglu in trouble is their lack of size. The next biggest feature outside of Putin’s Kremlin is Hedo’s pal All- Star Dwight Howard. You ask who is “Superman’s” replacement when if he were to get in foul trouble or needs a quick rest? Try these household names on for size…Adonal “Aluminum” Foyle, Pat Garrity, and Brian “I Can’t” Cook. The strengths of this bench definitely come in with their guard play. Carlos Arroyo (20 mpg- 6.9 ppg- 3.4 apg), Keyon Dooling (18 mpg- 8 ppg- 1.7 apg), and Keith Bogan (27 mpg- 9.1 ppg- 1.2 apg). With the type of minutes and production the Orlando guards put out, Mr. JJ Redick may be better off making more shooting videos. 

Barrels of Reserves in Orlando= 3 (Donated by Keith Bogans, Keyon Dooling,and Carlos Arroyo)  

#5 "Visit" the United Arab Emirates a.k.a Washington. The Wizards. Exactly. Who in green acres are the United Arab whatever’s? Hold on, Ill explain. This is the same question that most of the NBA world ask when it comes to the Washington Wizard reserves, but breaking news…! Their, eh…alright (sub-confidently spoken). What we have to keep in mind here is that when or if “Agent Zero” shows up come playoff time they will have had Antonio Daniels (31 mpg- 8.8 ppg- 4.9 asp) and Roger Mason (21mpg- 8.6 ppg)  both who have spent a great deal of time at the point running the team. What our lovable second teamer’s lack is a true scorer off the bench at any position. 

Barrels of Reserves in Washington= 3 (Donated by Antonio Daniels, Roger Mason, and Darius Songalia)   

#4 "Visit" Iran a.k.a Detroit. The Pistons for much of the Eastern Conference and especially Clevelander’s, calling a team from Detroit, “Iran”, may not be such a stretch. The Pistons definitely seem solid enough when it comes to “big man” reserves with Jason Maxiell and newly acquired Theo Ratliff (though he is due for an injury soon). Where Detroit may get into trouble is when they need to go to their bench for guard play. Jarvis Hayes has to be the clear leader of first guard of the bench, but then who? Rodney Stuckey? Arron Afflalo? Surely they aren’t relying on 38 year old Lindsey Hunter to bring back his L.A. glory days. I think this is a real concern and the reason for signing Juan Dixon (10 mpg- 4.3 ppg) late.

Barrels of Reserves in Detroit= 3 (Donated by the blue-collar “bigs” and, though inexperienced, their athletic guards)
