No Excuses

He's probably looking for the Caps thread right now.

Who knows? I do know that superstars will want to come play in DC with Ted marketing the hell out of this team and us having a really talented young core. You could've asked this question to the Celtics pre Allen and KG and they would have said **** no. But a lot can change in just one offseason and I think the Wizards have the key piece to finally becoming an attractive destination for NBA players. Who wouldn't love to play with a PG as ****ing awesome as John Wall? Superstar in the making + an owner with deep pockets = awesome I hear Dwight Howard is available in 2012.

Quit ****ing. If you had Wall beasting like this on your team, you'd be happy as **** too. Don't sulk on us because the Sixers are hopeless.

You might be, but we're headed for the 8th seed baby. **** yeah John Wall!! Suck on Evan Turner.

What a ****ing amazing game. Worth every penny spent, including having to listen to my girlfriend ***** all game long about how salty her fries were or how dry the burger was (told her VC food sucks). 29-13-8. Game changer baby. The Sixers fans crying about Brand not fouling need to stfu because Iggy clearly fouled Martin on the last play in the 4th. In your ****ing face.

Next years draft is heavy on big men and quality SF's. If we're going to suck this year, I hope it's enough to nab us a top 10 pick. Who knows, lightning may strike twice lol. Excited for tomorrow nights game. I hope the crowd is good. Been a while since the Wizards have had a good home crowd cheering them on. I'll be seated in the 400's but my friend and I will ninja our way to the 200's like we usually do lol.

True story. Apparently Ernie wanted to fire EJ after the 2006 season but didn't have Abe's approval. I wonder how Ernie feels about Flip right now. I know Ted isn't one to meddle with the coaches but he can't be happy with the constant yanking of young players when they make mistakes. I'm not a fan of negative reinforcement and I don't think Ted is either.

That's true. You can't forget how Ernie brought in Tim Thibodeu to coach defense under EJ. Thibs quit within two days of joining. I'm 100% it happened because he saw how third rate the structure of this franchise is.

I was hoping Flip would have a little more patience with the young guys of this team this year. But so far it seems like the same ol' Flip has shown up. He's an *******. I'm done with him as far as being a coach for this squad. He's done some good things in his little time in DC but his overall management of the roster is really frustrating. I really hate to see a great effort like Wall's go to waste because his coach is a dumbass. The future is hella bright though.

Some guys on another Wizards board were talking about the ex Dakota Wizards coach who is now an assistant in Memphis or San Antonio. I can't remember his name but his resume looked really solid. He's been a winner at every level he's coached. I want a coach who can grow with this team. Flip has as much patience as a fat guy resisting cake. He's a real douchebag. One mistake for a player he doesn't like and they get the shaft for the rest of the game. Like tonight how his boyfriend Yi kept getting abused late in the game and Javale and his 7 blocks sat on the bench.

Flip likes to randomly use the 2-3 for no reason at all during many parts of the game. He's not a good coach for a young team. He can take his talents to south beach or something. That's some real bush league coaching tonight.

Excellent game by the team. Would have probably won this game if Flip wasn't an idiot. Keeping Javale on the bench and letting Yi get abused was a huge mistake.

Yi playing like the player that was traded from a ****t Nets team. Flip really ****ed it up by keeping Javale on the bench.

Big men, stop shooting jumpers!!!!!! What is the point of being 7 feet when you stand on the perimeter. Come on man.

lol Wall comes back in the game and starts pwning again. This is ****ing amazing.

Jesus like. 20 points and 7 assists. The team fell apart when he left.

The 2-3 zone is so ****ing stupid. Especially when you play a team with no post scorers and plenty of three point shooters. What is Flip thinking????

I really really hate Zaza Pachulia. It's also pissing me off how many jumpers our big men shoot. Dammit Andray, get in the post.

Man ****ing offensive fouls. Ticky tacky calls all game. This is really ****ing annoying.

Wall is just running circles around the Hawks now. Man it's going to be awesome watching him and Gilbert.

I'm really liking what McGee has done this game. When he's not running around like a headless chicken, he's a nightmare for opposing players attacking the rim. These refs are absolutely terrible. Here comes Hilton Armstrong. ****.

Looked good. Made his jump shots and didn't stink it up on defense. Everyone is having a good game so far. Blatche started off terrible but he's picked it up too. I saw Nick come in the game but I was busy cooking so I didn't see what he did. Probably nothing.

Thornton is having a really good game. The refs are calling a really annoying game. I know fouls happen, but sometimes, you gotta let the ticky tacky stuff go away. Calling a super tight game really kills the purpose.

It's all about expectations. I'm not expecting Blatche to light the world on fire. But he's good at what he does. He has a good face up game and he's a good passer for a big man. Gives you solid rebounding and good defense. He's not a world beating talent but he's no where close to being a Nick Young type of a scrub. Young is probably the most one dimensional player I have ever seen. Besides scoring, he literally does nothing. Blatche has a very well developed overall game, he's just not exceptional at anything.

Perhaps it has. But the guy has still a lot of productive years left as an NBA player. I really think Orlando should try to acquire him. He's the perfect perimeter player Dwight Howard needs. Gilbert is everything Vince Carter is not. Gilbert shines when the spotlight is on him and the game is on the line. Besides the botched FT's against Cleveland, he's an amazing game closer.
