    Shut the **** up already with your absolute inability to find humor in any of mchale's clearly sarcastic remarks. Do you know what the question asked to him was? This is not the first time I've had to rebuff your criticism of our coach for being sarcastic. It's whining to you because he makes a joke about an obvious situation that no NBA coach wants to have? Ask JVG how he'd feel about starting 5 different PF's in a season... I bet the response won't have much humor in it.

    Oh and Morey makes D-league assignments, not the coaches, so if you want to find fault with someone for keeping him there, blame the correct person.

    We get it, you don't like our coach and no one will ever change your mind. Awesome. I'll keep that in mind next time I want to be a crusty, old, salty, negative person in an otherwise positive thread.

    Looking forward to see what he brings tonight against LMA

    I am dreading the Dmo vs LMA matchup....Smith should hold him pretty well, though

    I had tripple doubles in most of my games when played kids, nothing impressive Jones did because they should dominate in that league.

    TJ
    Rob
    Mo

    One will pan out. The chances are good for one AT LEAST to be an NBA starter. We can just deal the other two. For some reason, I feel the one to pan out will be Rob, but you never know.

    He'll be traded probably and blossom for another team, I'm sure......

    Kids young and raw...but the tools are there.

    Sacramento was absolutely molesting us on the boards until Jones went into that game. While sure, 8 offensive rebounds might well be the most he (or anyone not named Moses) ever gets in his career, it made a huge difference

    I like to see TJone start at the 4th spot. I got a feeling he is going to be a superstar like Paul Pierce. I just feeeeeeeeeeeel it. It's coming. Motiejovus is not strong enough and doesn't seem to know how to play D. He will be great once he put on some muscle next year. Trob...no go yet...he can't shoot and that's a problem w/ this offense...but can definitely still contribute like Greg Smith....it really depends on the matchup.

    Really intrigued by TJones, reminds me of a bigger CB1 but thats asking alot, if he could be half the player that Bosh is id be ecstatic.
    Love how he didnt settle for any long range jump shots, and attacked the rim. Out of all the PFs on our roster there is something about him, really hope he pans out.

    I think he could at least be a nice pat replacement for now. Pretty good range, moves well and handles the ball reasonably well for his size. Need to see how defends and rebounds consistently at this level.

    What a f#%#ing idiot... If you don't like what I have to say don't read it. Mchale is responsible for who plays. He has chosen not to play T Jones up to this point. His sarcasm speaks truth about his decision process. And you are an idiot to not get that.

    This is not about whether I like Mchale or not. For the record I do like Mchale. I think he is a great announcer. Just not a god coach. I would take almost anyone on his staff now over him. I especially think Sampson would be a much better option than him. You do not have to agree but don't be a f#%#ing idiot.

    I agree, I'm just saying I think Rob will pan out the best, wheather it be for us or whoever else has him.

    So did you think I meant you didn't like our coach as an announcer? Obviously I was talking about as a coach dunce.

    Morey is responsible for who goes to the d-league, so to say it's McHale's fault for hiding him there is absolutely 100% incorrect. At best, one could say they agreed on Tjones's spot on the team, but the decision is ultimately Morey's, surprised you didn't know that and tried to obfuscate that point to propagate your hatred against McHale.

    You are quite the bitter soul aren't you? His sarcasm speaks truth about his decision making? Sarcasm is inherently and intentionally misread, I get that you don't understand humor and sarcasm. Like I said before, I have had to pull you off of our coach for the exact same inane criticism of a sarcastic quote.

    You don't even want Morey to take responsibility for what are his clear responsibilities (d-league assignments), and you admittedly don't like our coach (as a coach, not announcer - don't know why I would have to specify that) so why would anyone in their right mind care what you have to say about what our coach is unintentionally letting slip through his sarcasm?

    Do you like our coach as a backgammon player? How about as a synchronized swimmer? WTF.

    I don't think D Mo will ever be a good post scorer due to his skinny frame, but T Jones could be the guy to give us a high percentage shooter at the pf

    Portland is his home town. Give him a shot in front of his friends and family.

    You're just a ****ing idiot. T Jones played in 8 games while McHale was out. he recorded games of 20 and 30 minutes. When he returned he got 12 minutes under McHale until the last game. Who is responsible for that?

    Clue: McHale kinda told his staff Jones needed a shot. Only his staff already knew. What a ****ing idiot. :eek:

    I wish they would let Jones start. He is from Portland I think. I predict a big night for him if he gets minutes.

    WE HAVE A WINNER!

    T-Rob needs to work on handle and outside shot this off season, I think he is more mobil than Marcus Morris and I thought Morris did well at playing the 3.
