    LMFAO whatever, Parsons and Budinger both suck, we need a real SF

    btw TWill sucks too, and he's getting trolololo'ed by yet another coach

    At this point, who really cares? Hill especially deserves a reality check.

    -I know people are scratching their heads on why Parson's is starting and not Twill or Morris.

    The reason is Parsons can do all the small things and makes guys like Martin and Dragic better. He doesn't need to score to be effective. Also he is 6'10" with the lateral quickness to stay with wing players on defense. That starting lineup needs a major upgrade in size to match up with other team's starting lineups. Parson's came into the league like a seasoned veteran and has played smart so far.

    Im sure Morris is the heir apparent, but he cant do all the small things that Parsons can do not TO MAKE EVERYONE ELSE BETTER.

    -As for Dalembert.... I dunno, whatever. I miss Chuck. For all of you wanting a shot blocker, you got one. Happy now?

    No change in starting lineup apparently can make this team's interior great. OKC killing us on the boards. Dalembert's definitely a plus defender. But he's definitely not a gamechanger.

    Yes, so true. He's playing a guy who just knows the system over superstar potential like TWill. Adelman never could make the hard decisions like this.

    Parsons D has been much better than either CBud or TWill's...and he is comfortable being the 5th option....let him continue to start.

    Kid is always hustling. A quite pleasant change to last night.

    I look at this more as McHale sending a message to the other guys, if you want to play you gotta hustle.

    It's obvious that chase and hill are the weakest link on this team. I said this before this game several times. I haven't seen Parsons play much but the kid can play,nothing fancy just smart and fundamentals. Twill is improving and bud plays better off the bench. Bud and hill come in and we lose our 12 pt lead.

    A bit early to make any kind of judgement on Parsons and "suck" is a bit strong for any of the mentioned players.

    Great moves.

    Dalembert is not very good though.

    Rebuild!

    The lineup changes show desperation on mchale's part. I agree with dalembert, but parsons? He is a taller budinger. We need defense. Our wings cannot defend anyone, our bigs are out of shape and cannot defend. And on offense we are a jumpshooting team.

    Morey is a great GM he never had a chance to be horrible like, Presti in OKC.

    Not sure that I can take your opinion seriously if you think Parsons was horrible tonight.

    Just because Parsons is white doesn't make him another C-Bud. He also played great defense on Durant today. Did you watch the game?

    You have lost your mind if you think Terrence Williams has superstar potential.

    If you really think Parsons can defend Durant, lebron, anthony, etc. then so be it. But he is not a good defender, he lacks quickness and experience at this point.
