    You know what I'm talking about.

    I doubt that this TWill news is getting that much buzz by Pistons fans as it is here by some clutchfans!

    TWill has no one to blame but himself, period. all of TWill's woes come from Avery Johnson? you can't be serious.

    So you're honestly telling me that Williams was hopeless in New Jersey regardless of who they would've hired as coach at that time?

    we can just shorten that to: TWill is hopeless.

    I don't see how anyone can argue in the face of such specific and factual examples! Avery Johnson screwed up so bad, TWill couldn't play for the next 3 coaches! Fortunately, he's finally overcome all of Avery Johnson's mistakes and will become a star in Detroit!

    you apparently stay up all night thinking about the scrubs.

    Maybe you are on the passenger side of your best friend's ride
    trying to holler at TLC.

    Yeah I remember those

    or how about comments like this:

    He is a beast on NBA 2k!!! I always score tons of points with him!!
    He will do the same in real life!! but he is stuck in the bench! why does the coach keeps in the bench a superstar like him!! :mad:

    and he was soo good in the D-League!!! If he can get a triple-double in the D-League, Im sure he can get one in the NBA too, he is so talented!

    T Will kind of reminds me of J.R Smith. A wingman with tons of potential but lack the maturity to fulfill it. But J.R Smith overall is more talented than T Will. If T Will is willing to work on his weaknesses like ball handling and jump shot, he will have a 6th man type career. He knows he's not going to be a star but still capable of being a very dangerous role player for any team. He really does have skills, great size, strength and crazy athleticism.

    T Will is also a gifted passer. That's why he sometimes wants to play PG. But he needs to stick to playing his position. He just needs to put it all together and work hard on his game. When he first came into the league, I really thought that he will be similar to an Andre Iguodala type player. But he's too immature and worries more about what he wants, not the team. Seriously, if he just improves his jump shot and only that, he will be a very good 6th man for any team.

    Lol, when he first came here, there was a small hype around him. I mean, he has all the potential, the size and athleticism. So, the big question is, why can't he play anywhere and stay with a single team for more than 2 seasons? Its probably because he's too immature to play within the system and tries to do what he want.

    Plus if you really look at it, he has a lot of weaknesses in his game. Even though he is physically gifted, he can't make the roster on the Nets and Houston. In High school and college, T Will could easily get away with pure athleticism. But its much harder to get away with that in the NBA unless you're a big man. T Will doesn't have the ball handling skills or a good jump shot to be a SG. He doesn't have the length to play SF.

    Even though he is athletic and fast, he doesn't have that type of quickness to blow by defenders with ease. So without the quickness to get to the rim or the steady jump shot, its basically difficult for him to score consistently. Plus the fact that he's more interested in trying to be a PG doesn't really help either. He doesn't really have a go to move or a post game at all and nobody really can say he plays good defense. Also, I think his maturity issues is another case against him.

    If T Will really wants to succeed in the NBA and stick with one team instead of bouncing around and then out of the league for good, he really needs to open up his eyes. He needs to show up early for practice every day and stay late. He needs to prove to his coaches that he's willing to commit and stick to his role instead of dancing around on the bench. He has the greatest opportunity in the world but right now, he's taking it for granted. He will end up like Rashad McCants soon if he doesn't straighten up.

    He doesn't possess the shooting touch like J.R Smith who sometimes get hot and lit up the entire gym. That's why J.R Smith will always have a team even though he's still immature at times because a shooter will always have a job even when his athleticism leaves him. T Will doesn't have that luxury because when his athleticism is gone, he's basically useless.

    While that isn't a good trend (Terrence Jones = a lesser Dwight Howard, thats pretty bad)

    What IS a proper use of a forum? As a platform to use the past as agenda propoganda?

    Actually, the proper use of the forum is to make countless T Mac 1st round jokes.

    There were rumors they were going to give Flynn a training camp invite. Would be funny if true, picking up our rejects.
