Postgame: Jamie Morrison + Players

I've said it the whole season, and I keep saying it and I'll say it until I'm blue in the face...I said it last season. People see the, I don't know, seven, eight, nine people that are on the floor. They don't see the other people who are sitting behind them waiting for their time to come out and shine.
