[Dr. Spaceman]

Mr. Thornton is gonna be one pricey lil' dude this offseason...

Thornton has a pretty mean FU face. Clutch Clutch Clutch. Gotta keep that guy.

 

[Arkitect]

One more win ties our record last year. Did not think that was possible 2 months ago.

I think it's safe to say that Thornton is GOD!

I call it the BEAST face

Second coming of the Rock?

I haven't calculated our winning % before the Thornton trade and after, but it seems like it's gotta be a lot higher post-thornton

Thornton helps us win games. Reke and Cuz keep us close, but Thornton win it.

Dont forget about Beno, big off the bench, helped us stay steady and hit some big shots as well

This team badly needs a training camp. the chemistry with Reke/Thornton/Boogie is still pretty shaky. Not that they seem to dislike each other or anything, just that the offense just doesn't really seem fluid. Looked much better with Beno and JT out there.

It's all about familiarity. Beno and JT have been here considerably longer (for this team, anyway) and have a better feel for each other, whereas Cousins is in his first year, Evans in his second (although more like 1.5 considering injuries) and Thornton has been here for less than a year.

Ha! I noticed that. I think I actually said: "daaayyaammmmm!" after he hit that shot and did a bit of a mean-mug myself. That's what I like to see!

Yup, therefore the offseason plan: Lock up Thornton and Sammy, have everybody get healthy whilst devising an offensive scheme that works with this group and then pound that one into their heads (also maybe teach them to how to handle screens on either end and explain that transition defense, in fact, is something worthwhile). Minimalistic, yet quite effective, imo.
