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

    My comment from game thread

    Thornton must be in the dog house because he was making Harden look bad in several games and Harden told JB to bench Thronton a$$

    Amirite?

    Offense is not our problem, we can't stop wet paint from drying. Thornton while great on offense, doesn't play D, just like Lawson.

    LOL are people seriously blaming Harden for JB's stupidity.
    JB is a terrible coach nothing more to see.


    That's the best one yet!

    He signed here for league min for a year. I don't think anyone wants him.

    issue is that thornton will have to go to another team first so harden can guard him :grin:

    Maybe Harden's issue is that Thornton keeps lighting his ass up in practice. I bet Thornton averages 40 PPG in scrimmages being guarded by Harden.

    Thornton may not respect JB for all we know.

    this is pure technicality. there's no guarantee that the results would've been different had he entered the game sooner.

    inexcusable? this is absolutely a non-issue compared to the high school level defense we are playing.

    how's terry non-relevant? relative to many others, he played well last night.

    idk how much you expect of him, but he's older than the coach.

    I guess what he meant is Terry would be great on a serious contender but useless on a bad team or mediocre team long term.

    Sad to accept but we are this mediocre team that is falling apart.

    I want Jarrett Jack.

    I've been a Lawson supporter every since he was traded here. But a Jack/Thornton backcourt off the bench would be lethal.

    Thornton can't be traded without his consent. At this rate I don't think it'll be too hard to get consent from anyone to go anywhere else.

    He is a horrible defender and the issue isn't scoring. Defense, defense, defense.
