Thornton not coming in until the late second half tonight is inexcusable

    Thornton is the 2nd best scorer on our team. He didn't even get into the game until there were three minutes left in the third.

    I was seeing some posters speculating about Harden having a feud with him?? Usually these conspiracy theories seem ridiculous but I can not see any reasons as to why Thornton was not in the game. It is starting to look like Bickerstaff is just as clueless as McHale.

    Late to shootaround?
    Partied instead of team meeting?

    What is it JB? What is it?

    Our overrated GM Morey told JB to showcase Brewer so he can erase his mistake by giving him 24 million.

    I think he played late 3rd and didn't play in the 4th. Not even garbage time.

    Not playing Thornton is like benching our second top scorer and a starter. We have to find out why JB did this!:mad:

    Yeah, he said Terry in and Marcus was the casualty of that.

    So Terry has taken Ty & Marcus out of the rotation. :rolleyes:

    The coach said in the post game interview he did it on purpose. OFC doens't mean that this is the truth. IMO sounds too ridiculous/far fetched to be the reason.

    I've always sensed that Harden gets jealous whenever Marcus gets hot. He freezes him out consistently. J.B. playing Brewer over him is simply baffling....

    Agree with you totally...

    So you bench your productive players and your starters and you give your superstar who's playing like pure crap more playing time....

    I am getting the sense that Harden's big ass ego and immaturity is killing our franchise. I don't see how this gets fixed.

    Lawson getting off the bench before Thornton is baffling. If Jet is playing well, Why play Lawson at all. He gives us nothing.
