    Codman said the 25th loss is key.

    Don't know what that means.

    Maybe that's Morey's timetable...

    Very depressing. Wish we had better defensive instincts.

    Still a fan nonetheless.

    I'm not one to complain about rotations. Fans are always going to complain about rotations. And I think most of our problems are related to defense. But, I just want to know why? Why is Thornton not playing? Is it because he is a poor defender? Because the defense is already a disaster without Thornton. How much worse could it be with Thornton?

    I could maybe understand not using him against certain teams? Match ups etc etc. But I would like to hear JB's reasoning for not using Thornton.

    It should be noted that Thornton has been passed around the NBA like a hot potato. So, maybe there is something I'm not seeing.

    I'm really starting to wonder if JB feels pressured to give Brewer minutes because Morey is paying him 8 mil over multiple years and Thornton is getting the min for 1 year. It's the only conclusion I can think of because Brewer has been absolute dog**** all year and Thornton has shined when he gets the chance.

    This could be a reference to the trade team's record, not ours.

    But we're on our way.

    He possibly cares and speaks out against losing and about possibly being frustrated which is possibly why he is benched during games. Some coaches might like "yes" men rather than people who express their emotions after the game.

    Any reason why he bounced around the league if he is that great? He doesnt seem like a type of a player who deserve much playing time.

    LOL!

    Yeah, I know Brooklyn is really close to 25 losses.

    Codman mentioned them as a possibility (Biggie Smalls reference)

    Cyberx said Jarrett Jack and Bojan Bogdanovic for Ty Lawson was being discussed internally.

    But I'm really curious to see what the "deadline" is if its for us...
    Gotta wonder if Morey's on the hot seat..

    Why is Corey Sewer getting minutes over him then when he has been 10 times worst?

    Morey and JB need to have a talk. Thornton should be getting major minutes with the second unit. He's on fire as soon as he steps on the court. Get your head out of your ass. This team is pathetic right now. Start moving some players and get people in here that want to play. Also go ahead and put JB out of his misery and being Thibs in. These guys need a real coach.

    Tell me where I'm going wrong......but if you're in need of a bucket and going thru a drought why not put Marcus in? I mean he's already proven he hits big shots. Trevor Ariza driving the lane is worse than Brewer. I understand defense is needed. But why not call a timeout & put your better offensive options in? For MT to get another DNP is insane

    This seems more and more a Morey deal to try and increase Corey trasher trade value at the expense of winning games

    This dude has it over his head and should just take over the coaching duties
