Garbage Time Is Beneath Damon Jones and Ira Newble
Ira Newble and Damon Jones (who’s unhappiness has been well documented) both refused to enter the game during the final meaningless seconds of Cleveland’s easy Christmas day win. Jones has been slapped with a fine.

I’m not usually one to condone violence, but Mike Brown should actually shoot Damon Jones. Buying him out’s too good for him. Short of that, let him rot.

This is easily sorted out.Don’t play either of them at all.I’m sure they’ll enjoyed that more

Best yet, Izzo, let Damon start for Cleveland and let him play one posession, then pull him right out and never let him play another second.

the cavs suck and wont make the playoffs, the heat suck and wont make the playoffs, the knicks suck and wont make the playoffs. meanwhile, the pistons and spurs will most likely meet in the finals. its crazy how they almost met a few other times,
03: pistons barely lost to the nets.
04: derer fisher .4 .
06: manu fouled dirk.
07: im still not sure what happened to the pistons, maybe lebron had something to do with that one.

Aren’t they both garbage players? and don’t garbage players get garbage time? This whole franchise is riding on Lebron’s back. He doesn’t need the extra weight of their egos as well. Like The Rock used to say, “Know your role, and stay in your place.” If you SMELLLLLLLLLL…

When Damon Jones played in town (Vancouver) for the Grizzlies, his Mercedes got stolen one day. My friend’s mom is a 911 operator and took the call…he of course tried to name drop that he played for the Grizzlies and needed all this extra attention…my buddy’s mom didn’t believe him and told him ‘my sons all play basketball and I’ve never heard of you’ before hanging up on him! Still makes me laugh every time…

Remind me again how Newble got into the league again? He’s not even a good cheerleader a la Mateen Cleaves.

Newble had pull since he was running The Source magazine.

I’m still trying to figure out why Donkey Jones thinks he is above coming into the game. What planet does this dude live on?

Both players have just been fined by the team. Newble’s excuse was that he wasn’t warmed up and could pull something. Quick, trade him to the Knicks!

drew says:
too bad he didnt pull something and miss the rest of the year. even though im sure mike brown would still try to use him.

Ah you gotta love the Cavs. Played in the Finals, now have 3 players who wouldn’t mind playing elsewhere in Newble, Jones and Hughes. First of all, if your name is Ira, you shouldn’t say anything at all. Or play in a horrible Paul Reiser sitcom. And Damon Jones daydreaming about Miami? So he can do the one thing he should be good at? Shootin’? Damon Jones has been yappin’ a bit too much the last couple of seasons, and dude has to realize that he’s a mediocre player, and maybe not even that. “The best shooter in the NBA”? Yeah sure, like Marbury is the best pg in the game. Dream on Damon. And then there is Larry Hughes. Basically: the guy had one good year in Washington, but has been an underachiever in every other season. Either that or he’s injured. Dude doesn’t want to play the point, so he comes off the bench. Complained about minutes, but now is back in the starting line-up playing the point…. right. That will be the solution to the Cavs’ problems. I know, he had a decent game against the Mavs, but I want this guy to put up at least 5 good games in a row for the Cavs. Since he’s been in Cleveland, this hasn’t happened yet.

Damon Jones would not average more than 9.2ppg playing AAU RIGHT NOW. Damon Jones would not average more than 7.4ppg playing in the ACC RIGHT NOW. Damon Jones would not average more than 5.5ppg playing in the NBA RIGHT NOW. (Look it up) Damon Jones: “Check in during garbage time?? Do you know who I am??” Mike Brown: “You better check in during garbage time - Do YOU know who you are??”

Damon Jones was my fav player back in NBA live 2005 or was it 2004 when he was with the BUCKS

Damon has been wanting out of Cle. forever, so that doesn’t shock me. And his mouth is legendary. You get what you pay for. But IRA NEWBLE?! His quote is amazing. I-I-might have PULLED something! Dude, you should be kissing LeKing’s shoes & thanking The Q guy you have a job every day… Newble is the very definition of a garage time player (and a living example of cornrows gone bad…)
