I like the way we are hustling that's for sure. Would like to see some more penetration into the lane by Clark and Starks. Our lack of size hurts too, I never liked Sims. He is a top 100 recruit who never lived up to the bill. He needs to post up! But due to the Princeton offense he is typically around the arc. Young talented team that's for sure. ---------- Post added November-22nd-2011 at 01:42 AM ---------- We rely too much on 3s. Thompson loves to jack em up, which isn't always a bad thing but he needs to be more selective. Can't guard those super athletic Jayhawk bigs. They basically just jump over Lubick.

Just got home. My favorite pick is Mack. Love his game. Honestly don't know much about Vesely. And Singleton showed some flashes I like his game. Overall my initial reaction is a B+.

A little disappointed but it ain't the end of the world. I see us ending up with Vesely, who frankly I don't know much about but a lot of mock drafts have him going 6th and he fits our needs. I'd love to get a legitimate PF in the 2nd round like Trey Thompkins, Keith Benson, JaJuan Johnson...

New uniforms look terrible. Too retro and Wizards on them make it seem worse.

I read Terrence Jones withdrew his name from the draft, which is too bad I was hoping we would scoop him. As long as we spend our first pick on a front court player I will be happy. Biyombo, Valanciunas, Vesely, Thompson, Kanter...any one of those players would be welcome. I don't know the status of Lewis, Young, Howard, Blatche, etc. But I do know Wall and Crawford form a pretty good backcourt and we need players to complement them and do damage in the paint.

Sick game tonight Wall. I didn't realize we had so many guys hurt. Wonder if Evans will be on the team next year? I say yes. Nice to see Greg Monroe with the good game too.

I haven't commented on any of this. But I would like to say: it is monumental. People living for centuries in oppression with limited rights and deplorable living conditions finally rising up and saying enough is enough! As a sociologist this fascinates me. *edit* And yes, I give a huge amount of credit to social networking sites aka facebook, youtube, etc. Amazing that technological innovations can lead to societal changes and revolutions.

Just learned about the trade. I feel we got the better of the deal. Not sure how long Bibby will be here but Evans and Crawford can play and a first-rounder is always valuable.

Finally jesus. I haven't been able to watch much recently, but damn Nick Young has been killing it in the box scores. John Wall with the pretty nice stat line, 19 points 12 assists 2 blocks 2 steals and 2 turnovers. And I like to see Josh Howard back in there, I think he can contribute next year.

Haha I hear ya chipwich. I've suffered my whole life as well though. Kwame Brown, Ike Austin (what a great trade that was), getting rid of Webber for Howard. It's been frustrating to say the least. I could say that for every DC sports team though. At least I will always have the Terps championship from 2002! Big game tomorrow huh? And of course Super Bowl XXVI...when I was 10 haha.

Far from hating. I love the fella. He's basically our only hope. Don't take message boards so seriously.

If you did a search you would see I've been loyally posting about the Bullets since I joined this forum. Even in the now defunct Washington Basketball forum. For the record I am being cynical, if you couldn't notice, about Wall. Dude is nice. But the history of this organization causes me to be bitter. I hope he balls out of control for the next 17 years here in DC. I'm sure he'll be a baller. It's just my instincts from years of sucking that causes me to think otherwise.

Because I hate him. And I can see into the future. He will be mediocre. Why wouldn't I post in this thread? I love the Bullets as much as anyone.

I see John Wall had 4 points tonight on 2-10 shooting.

Wow I completely forgot about trading away that #5 pick in 2009 for Foye, Miller, and Jermaine Taylor. What the flying jambalaya was that about? Retrospect is 20/20 but still....what exactly did he think was going to amount from that? Darren Collison, Stephen Curry, Brandon Jennings, James Johnson...a lot of young talented players we could've gotten. And what the hell was that pick of Jermaine Taylor about? I remember sitting there screaming for them to pick DeJuan Blair.

That is true, he is an assist monster. 10.1 points and 8.5 assists in 2019.

Just every game I've watched he is more flash and preening than actual output. I don't see him breaking his defender that often. His jumper is average. I dunno...perhaps it is just the Curse O' Les Boulez that has me cynical. Such a horrible organization. The only other players I wanted us to draft were Favors or Cousins. But all in all it was the best pick we could've made. He is only 20 and he obviously has a lot of talent so more power, I'll try to stay positive. But remember I warned you when he's averaging 10.1 points and 5 assists in five years.

I only saw the last minute of the game and that missed Kidd 3 definitely went over the top of the backboard. Bull**** I say. We would've lost anyway though. This team is so horrid. We can't draft a good player to save our lives (I have a bad feeling about Wall) nor can we sign a good big man. Championship in 2022.

Eh, we suck. No good shooters. No defense. Maybe I won't watch any more games.

Got a free NBA package preview from DirecTv...watching tonight. John Wall is great on the fast break. He is finding open teammates with ease. In the half court game though I don't see him breaking his defender that often. Kevin Seraphin showed me a little something around the basket. And Yi Jianlian has a nce shot. We might even get a road win! I'll check in later.

Agreed with whoever said that frontcourt is this team's weakness. It has been for years. I like McGee a lot and think he can improve significantly. Plus the dude has the ups of an antelope. Haven't seen much in terms of post moves from him though. Blatche is talented but is erratic as hell and is a pole, gets muscled by big PFs with ease. I'd say he's worth keeping though just because of his scoring. Are Seraphin and Booker going to contribute in the near future? I pray to god yes....but somehow our draft picks always end up being horrible. I honestly haven't seen them play much, don't even know if they are getting playing time. And yes Nick Young is a great scorer, but somehow I think he is better coming off the bench. He conserves energy and can be a sparkplug. Either way for us now it is irrelevant. Rashard Lewis is a great player so I think we need to hold onto him, regardless of his age and contract situation. Jianlian (what is this guy's deal?), Armstrong, Hinrich, Thornton (I used to think dude was nice), Howard (still think he can contribute, just gets injured all the time)......I dunno. Looking at that squad you'd think we'd be better. But the sad truth is that only Lewis and Wall in the future start on anyone other squad. When I get home I'm gonna go out of my way to watch a few games to see exactly how bad we are. I hope we have all our draft picks, because we need to draft a stud PF very badly and anyone else who can score and defend.

I'm really worried that John Wall is going to be an average player. He is mostly show, as in he is flashy and likes to preen around the court. Jumper is mediocre. His ball skills are great, but he tends to get hassled in traffic. He's very young so I'll hold out hope. Still, his recent box score numbers are troubling. I like the assists though.

First game I've watched in a while...and that's how it turns out. If you can't hit free throws/inbound the ball then you don't deserve to win.

No foul on Nick?!

Defense! clap clap Defense! clap clap
