Landry to NOLA for Thornton and Andersen

[Pelicans78]

And you're wrong about this

lol calling the Suns decent. I'm sure when you said they'd be "fine", a .500 lottery team is exactly what you had in mind

Actually yeah it was. No way I expected them to be a top 3 seed.

I'm not wrong about Harden. He isn't that good. A high pick and athletic, but that's it. Can't create his own shot and that's a must for a SG.

[Killakobe81]

well sons I'm still hoping that someone involved fails their physical and this bull doesn't go through ... it has happened before with Tyson Chandler and OKC .... all I want is to see Thornton come back for one more game, get his usual 10-15 minutes of playing time, drop about 20 points, then grab his nuts when walking back to the bench and knock Monty the out.

LOL mad at the world BR? Plus that Kobe pic? just sad BR ...

[Pelicans78]

Oh and look at the numbers Nash is putting up. Using his age as an excuse for your stupid prediction only makes it look dumber.

I figured the Suns did fine without Amare before. Plus they had the best bench in the league last season.

But I'll admit I was somewhat wrong.

[Kyle Orton]

So the 10 seed in the west that can barely crack .500 is your definition of "fine".......jesus people in the south are re ed

Damn, you just won't let it go, OKie fan.

[Kyle Orton]

Damn, you just won't let it go

and you won't admit to the high degree of re edness present in this take:

Phoenix will be fine without Amare. They were good enough to make the WCF a few years ago without him.

[Pelicans78]

and you won't admit to the high degree of re edness present in this take:

You still haven't addressed how Harden can't create his own shot.

[Kyle Orton]

You still haven't addressed how Harden can't create his own shot.

There's no way to prove he can or can't. Of the games I've watched, he gets very little opportunity with the ball in his hands compared to what Thornton got in NOH last year. James Harden in Thornton's role last year easily puts up the numbers Thornton puts up.

[redzero]

Excuse me, DoK. How can you call others' takes re ed in the very same thread that you posted re ed takes of your own?

[Kyle Orton]

tbh my takes in Marcus Thornton in this thread did a great job getting you pissed (not like that's hard.....lol Chrissy Paul deferring to Jannero Pargo in the 4th quarter of a game 7). Whether or not they're re ed they accomplished their job.

So when Thornton gets enough minutes and shots, it's a fluke, but when Harden gets them, he's just utilizing his potential?

Every Mavs fan should use this very response when arguing with you. The fact is that you believed what you posted, so falling back on "I was only pretending to be re ed" doesn't work.

No he doesn't. He doesn't have the kind of skills to do what Thornton did. Thornton can create his own shot much better than Harden.

Also, you kept stating Thornton took off last season after CP3 was injured and I proved you wrong by going through Thornton's game logs. You were clearly wrong.

[Kyle Orton]

I wasn't trying/not trying to be re ed. I was simply posting negative about a Hornets player you were high on last year knowing what the response could be. I could care less about how re ed it is.

[Kyle Orton]

Thornton didn't do prior to CP3's first injury. I wasn't talking about his season long injury, I was talking about his early season injury.

[Kyle Orton]

Harden, unlike Thornton, knows how to get minutes on a winning team. Thornton's team starts winning, he falls outa the rotation

You didn't know that I was high on him. You were referring to a discussion you had with Hornets78, not with me. This is just a copout. You don't want to stand by your statements, so you just claim that you were trolling. Would you let somebody get away with saying that the Suns would be better without Amar'e? No, so don't try to claim you weren't serious now.

[Pelicans78]

Thornton or Collison weren't even dressed in those games since Byron Scott wanted to go with the veterans. I told you that last season too. They couldn't play because they weren't dressed. How complicated is that? Scott finally dressed them a few games before the injury which was only in the 10th game of the season. You should pay attention more often.

[Lefty's understudy]

Marcus was a real Thornton in the Hornets coaching staffs side from what I hear

[Lefty's understudy]

but OKC's coaches are Harden their backup shooting guard

But Thornton didn't start getting major PT till CP3's first injury, right?

[Pelicans78]

Actually it was the opposite. Once Thornton got in the rotation, the team went on a 10 game winning streak. Wrong again.

[redzero]

Harden, unlike Thornton, knows how to get minutes on a winning team. Thornton's team starts winning, he falls outa the rotation

And the Hornets struggle to score 90 points against scrub teams.

Oh wait, you were trolling! That makes your stupid takes immune to criticism.

[redzero]

Thornton (and Collison) didn't get serious playing time until Byron Scott--who refused to play him, just like Monty did--was fired.

I'll stand by them, I don't care. I never thought my opinions of someone averaging 7 points a game were so important.

[Pelicans78]

But Thornton didn't start getting major PT till CP3's first injury, right?

Actually, he got major minutes two games before CP3's injury. Scott had benched Devin Brown and made Thornton the primary backup at SG. Same thing with Collison. He got minutes ahead of Bobby Brown. That happened in the Clippers game which the Hornets won by 30 points. The next game, the Suns blew out the Hornets, Scott got fired, and in the next game CP3 got hurt. Scott had already got Thornton and Collison in the rotation before CP3's first injury. I explained that to you last year.
