Yeah after Carroll started being more full time he fell out of the rotation and he was using James Johnson cause he wants a lil more defense??? Maybe??? Who knows, Casey runs tight rotations. Outside of Ross/Joseph you're never sure who the 8th man is gonna be.

Powell got torched against Miami. I dunno if it was rookie wall or bad matchups.

Also Scola in the starting lineup probably means they're hoping to hit threes and hold on for dear life. Which I guess is as good a strategy as any.

Compared to NHL/MLB/NFL? Its no question. Superstar vs guy, no matter how questionable the call, goes to the star 60% + of the time.

You cannot enjoy the NBA if you don't see it more of an exhibition, the ref'ing is horrible but dunks are cool.

There are superstar calls, but superstars are also able to make a much bigger impact, so the perception of bias toward them can be inflated
