Warhead36 Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Boston's commentator Tommy Heinsohn is known for being the biggest homer analyst in sports so he was probably just full of **** because when Singleton was in, I thought he played alright. Of course he'll give up a few baskets here and there to Paul Pierce who is a future HOF-er but to say he got schooled is just silly. Good tank result tonight. Maybe Blatche's near 30 point effort will up his trade value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Excuses Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Jordan Crawford is the Andray Blatche of SG's. ---------- Post added January-2nd-2012 at 11:39 PM ---------- Javale is off to a monster start. Seriously, if he keeps producing at this level, some desperate team might offer him max money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destino Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 (edited) If he stays at 13.8ppg, .543 fg%, and 11rebounds he won't get max but he's going to get paid. Averaging a double double at the NBAs weakest position wont be cheap. Those are better than Marc Gasols numbers in the reg season and about the same as his postseason production. I'd be shocked if McGee can maintain it. If he does he deserves the payday. Marc got 4 years 57.7 million. It worries me because despite the hate we have no one, and I mean no one, behind him. It would really drive me to the edge if he finally gets his **** together and walks. I can think of a few teams in the market for a center too. Flip cut his minutes!! lol Edited January 3, 2012 by Destino Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lombardi's_kid_brother Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 (edited) So...when are the Wizards going to get their first win? The 10th at home against Toronto looks like a possibility. The Wizards will have a day off before that and it will be the 2nd of 3 in a row for Toronto. After that, probably one of the two back to backs against Philly. (By the way, has anyone looked ahead to their February schedule? Eegads is that brutal...) 3 home games to Clips, Toronto, and NY and then 5 straight road games over 10 days Edited January 3, 2012 by Lombardi's_kid_brother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjfootballer Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 This team is like watching reruns year after year. Different players, same results. I thought they were supposed to be better this year according to everyone in here? What's going on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought they were supposed to be better this year according to everyone in here? What's going on? Pretty much everyone expected this year to be another tough rebuilding year with all the youth. When you factor in basically no training camp or preseason then it'll be even worse as our young guys are in particular need of more coaching and practice time.

When you factor in basically no training camp or preseason then it'll be even worse as our young guys are in particular need of more coaching and practice time. No doubt. At least last night we saw a bit more concerted effort and team participation, although I'm sure that even as that trend continues it won't translate to very many wins. We are too young and not well-enough coached to grow very much in this short season. However, if last night's play continues I will enjoy watching them suck a lot more.

And Jordan Crawford is easily my least favorite wizard I was a Flip fan when he arrived but I'm seeing more clearly now that he's just not strict enough to manage this bunch of young yahoos. We need a disciplinarian and a true teacher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhead36 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Crawford is what he is: a streaky scorer. He's basically a better version of Juan Dixon. Maybe he can develop into a JR Smith one day, that's probably his best case scenario. I'm fine with him as a 6th man bu the should not start and he should not be a primary ball-handler.

I thought they were supposed to be better this year according to everyone in here? What's going on? I predicted 15 wins. Just looking at the roster screams "bad year". Wall and McGee are the only two players on the starting roster that belong there. Young and Blatche have games that scream bench scoring. Lewis is a bum.

Chachie Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Lewis is a bum. I get your point if you mean "at this stage in his career," but if we look at his career in retrospect he was a good player. We just got him at the wrong time and we did get rid of Arenas' contract when we got him so he served a purpose in that regard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just got him at the wrong time and we did get rid of Arenas' contract when we got him so he served a purpose in that regard. That's exactly what I meant. Even considering how bad he's been I still think the Gilbert trade was positive for the Wizards. I was commenting on the team as it stands right now.

We just got him at the wrong time and we did get rid of Arenas' contract when we got him so he served a purpose in that regard. Getting rid of Gilbert based on him being a distraction is a better assessment. The contracts weren't really anything in the matter as Lewis signed 6 year/$118 million contract in 2007 as opposed to Gilbert's 6 year/$124 deal in 2008. Really only got rid of a year's salary.

abdcskins Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I predict we won't make the playoffs until 2014 at the least. The team is just absolute trash. I also predict Vesely will be a bust. Not because I've seen him play and think that, but because we are the Washington Wizards and draft horribly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Excuses Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 No one posted it because only a blowhard like Cowherd reaches the conclusion that John Wall is the next Stephon Marbury because he did a 15 second dance in his opening NBA game. I'd like to see Cowherd point out how many point guards averaged 16, 8 and 4 in their rookie season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chipwhich Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 And the people who post anything linking what he has to say. You can ignore history of the franchise and be pissed at me, or you can know the history and be pissed and want changes. The BEST team in your wizards lifetime, and the best coach were thrown out because fans don't know the teams history. I do, I have watched them since the day they came to town. Here is another link for you. Truth might hurt, or it might want you to demand change. Leonsis thinks he can build this like a hockey team, he is crazy. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/dc-sports-bog/post/tony-kornheiser-and-david-aldridge-on-john-wall/2012/01/04/gIQAn6HuaP_blog.html But hate me, not the truth.

Both pieces are unrelated. Cowherd is a tool who had egg on his face last year when he slammed Wall after one game but John ended up having a great rookie year. Now five games into the season, he wants to pat himself in the back for really nothing. Wall got off to a slow start but he's hardly been a major problem. You'll find most people agreeing with the Kornheiser and Aldridge. Wall will leave if he's not surrounded by good teammates. Doesn't take a genius to figure that out. And please, shut up already about the history. Eddie Jordan was thrown out because he couldn't coach defense for ****. That was why Philly threw him out as well and why he's coaching high school basketball right now. Edited January 4, 2012 by No Excuses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
