2. How much help do the starters need?
The bench continues to be a weak spot for the Blazers. If they're going to make the leap from 50-ish wins and lower-round exits to 60-ish wins and deep-run contention,manchester city third jersey 2013, the bench might make more difference than the Starting 5.

On the other,real madrid pink kit ronaldo, other hand 2nd- and 1st-round exits do not a contender make, and that's as far as this lineup has gotten. Recall the famous definition of insanity,arsenal new shirt puma, "Doing the same things over and over while expecting different results."
