why the hell do they still start morris peterson in front of him? he does nothing for the hornets and the hornets always fall behind in every damn game at the beginning. I know that they always make a run later. But please tell me WTF is going on?

I have a feeling he's gonna be our sixth man for a long time. We'll probably use him like the Spurs use Manu.

yeah i know he gives them a spark, but we don't do shite early in the game and morris peterson sucks. Doesnt it make more sense to play the best guy?

I'm not against Marcus coming off the bench, but just keep in mind, we have a coach who doesn't know what the frick he's doing.

if he starts, and when u rest starters, then you have Morris Peterson coming off the bench to spark the offense.

which would u rather?

i agree with you on that. you think they are gonna get another coach before next year? because i think we have a chance to be really good.
Also, i'm sure Marcus Thornton doesn't give a frick what quarter he scores in because of his 400k salary. I'm sure he is scoring as much as he can whenever he can to get that next big salary.

yeah if he started then we will start losing in the 2nd quarter when he comes out. I like it like it is.

They like having him come off the bench. Simple.

Jeff Bower is going to be the coach for the rest of the year. Next year, on the other hand, he won't be. As for Marcus, once his contract is up, he'll be making "sixth man" money. I say that only because I see us addressing the two guard position this offseason.

i guess its alright that he comes off the bench. i just don't see why he couldn't be a starter. Morris peterson could be a good spark off the bench too though. he makes a few 3s every now and then.

Doesn't really matter, Thornton will be gone for a starting position if they don't give him one. Collison is gone.

One of them will be gone by the trade deadline next year. If we get help for CP this offseason, DC will be traded. If not, CP is as good as gone.
