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

    Next time Thronton will think twice before sleeping with JB's wife.

    I agree.

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

    What exactly is this and the post you posted before based on, pure speculation.

    They're grown men. There's no drama, players aren't hating on each other. It's just not working, like how it wasn't working last season. People seem to forget the Rockets were in a major slump back then too until JSmoove stepped up and helped save the season. Even then it didn't look that great.

    in fairness during that nets game when harden was driving and (imo) should have taken a shot to either tie the game or go up (i don't remember exactly) he did a behind the back pass to thornton who'd been red hot all night.
    thornton missed. :(

    Observation. He is too enamored with fame, women, partying and building his brand. A little humility, early nites, and defensive dedication would do him good.

    JB not playing Thornton was really one of the main reasons we lost. We needed offense and our second best option was benched! I hope JB realizes this.

    Why Terry's old legs and Brewer get time above Thornton is stupid... Realizing Thornton isnt a great defender, but c'mon JT is past his prime and slow while Brewer blows more layups and defensive gambles than anyone else on the team...

    Definitely needed more Thornton, and needed more Capela too. The avalanche of calls against him early sure didn't help matters.

    No idea why Capela got, what was it? 10 minutes? With Dwight only gettin 4 rebounds all game. Tonight was like watching Mchale coach all over again.

    JB is clueless....

    He didn't want to win this game at all.

    Should be starting Lawson with heavy minutes, and Thornton should be the first guy off the bench.

    If players held to one standard based on their performance curve, the entire roster should be benched, TY ,Brewer and TJ shoud be glued to their seats

    We should expect a trade any day now. Possibly including Thornton.
