Despite the fact that everything you say is a troll attempt, I actually agree with this post.
Thornton and Reke do awful in 3 games then do above average in a 4th game = "OMG they are the future! All hail Thornton and Reke!"
Thornton and Reke play an ugly game = "This is all coach's fault! Reke and Thornton must not be trying."
Jimmer and IT come in and play very well every time they run the offense together = "They are just getting garbage stats that don't mean anything."
Jimmer and IT make a mistake = "OMG look at these rookies they are killing us. KILLING US! PUT IN 3-11 REKE!"
I don't get this fanbase's delusion that Thornton and Reke are allstar guards... they are not.

Are you serious? It was the last game. We've played a total of six games. What do you mean am I going to talk about it all season? It happened two days ago.
We've looked our best when Reke and Thornton have been aggressive. We have also looked our worst when going small with IT and Jimmer out there. In our losses we played a small lineup including both for considerable chunks of the 2nd half. In our two wins Reke and Thornton took over at the end. Coincidence? I think not.

Actually no, they haven't. Especially when you put the rest of the team into the equation. MT has been here for a short time, and most of it was while Tyreke was hurt last season. Paul Westphal set a record for starting line-up changes last season. Just because they're all on the same team doesn't mean they've grown on court chemistry without playing major minutes together in a familiar line-up. Right now it's all one-on-one game for the most part and it's a result of that. A lot of stagnant offense because the team as a whole doesn't grasp where each other will be due to PW's offensive scheme.
No matter what the correct quote is, the mere fact that Westphal would think that playing two very small guards at the same time based on one game's performance long after the game was decided doesn't seem very bright. It's the flavor of the month approach to coaching. There is no common sense involved here. I don't know how much detail is required here but they will be a defensive liability based on the fact they are rookies AND each will be matched up against someone far taller.
It simply makes no sense.

If this is true then is pretty obvious who the players not in tune with Westphal are (if that wasn't obvious now).
If we start Jimmer-Thomas backcourt against Denver then Westphal is a dead man walking.
If this is true, he is starting that spectacular nose dive that he is known for when things start going pear shaped.
