G.A.C.O.L.B. Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 McGee really needs to develop his left hand. That **** really hurts him on offense (when he's not dunking). Always having to go to his right puts him at absurd angles on about half of his shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chipwhich Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Wall is going to be fine. It's three ****ing games. Barely 70 into his career. Dude you pegged him as the superstar, nobody else. He may be fine, meanwhile he is not. No matter what other players have said about him, he looks lost, doesn't lead the team, doesn't score baskets, doesn't make assists, and generally is playing like a Bullet/Wizard. You expected more from him, and so did I. Just keep it real bro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.A.C.O.L.B. Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 (edited) Yes, I'm the only person who pegged Wall as a superstar. Seriously, I don't have patience for your bull**** tonight. In two months, when you watch your next game and I'm in a better mood, maybe then we can have a discussion. Edited December 31, 2011 by G.A.C.O.L.B.

I warned you about running Arenas and early outs out of town. I told you Wall looked lost compared to Rose in Chicago. You mocked me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabsuz Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Wall had a bad game tonight, dissapointing to say the least, he needs to become more consistent and the entire team does too, I think that is our downfall. Wall averaged 16/8 last year in his rookie year so I wouldn't worry about this that much, he had bad games last year as well, he will be fine. Nick Young had a surprisingly bad game, he could hit everything last game and no one could stop him, its strange to see our team go so hot and cold, Wall had 20 something points last game also along with Nick's 24 while Crawford couldn't hit the broadside of a barn. The team needs to shoot consistently, no more 70% FG games by one player and 20% for another and then it switches off next game, everyone needs to shoot consistently and not shoot in streaks like what is happening this year, this is just pathetic unless we grab some consistency this year, I really can't say it enough. It is a serious problem with JaVale, Wall, Crawford, and Young, it's not a problem for Blatche though, because he is consistently terrible. They need to get their heads straight, we have the talent. So I preach patience and understanding before we crucify Wall for having a bad game and act like the sky is falling, we knew we weren't going to compete this year.

BRAVEONAWARPATH Posted December 31, 2011 Author Share Posted December 31, 2011 (edited) So you're off the Wall bandwagon now? Honestly, I was never on the Wall bandwagon. I think/hope he'll develop into a very good player but (unlike you) I never felt that he'd become the clear cut #1 PG in the league. Not with the likes of Rose, Paul, Westbrook, Williams etc. in the league. PS: You were right Dray.

@DCGoldPants Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 another week or two of this and I don't see how Ted can't make a big change. How can you hold players accountable for not doing their jobs if your coaches aren't either? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milellie111 Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 The Mystics are more competitive than this team. Why isn't Flip fired yet? I'd rather have Pat Summit coaching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the worst roster in basketball, why would Leonsis fire flip???? He wont, and it's not his style. Even Leonsis knows the rebuild doesn't start until next year. This is just a dead year for a pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Leonsis knows the rebuild doesn't start until next year. This is just a dead year for a pick. He needs to be fired because its pretty damn clear the players could care less what he says. This teams needs somebody who will hold them accountable, the players know that Flip either won't do it, or doesn't have the authority to do it. Honestly, looking at Flip on the sidelines, it sometimes looks like a man who would thank Leonsis if he did fire him. Deep down, I don't think he wants to be here, but he's not going to quit/resign. I don't want our young players going through back to back seasons in which they are not held accountable for their mistakes on the court. Its one thing to be a young team, its another thing completely when every game looks like 5 random strangers thrown together for the first time.

The rebuild has already started, it's just that it looks like complete crap, with a roster that has no interest in playing competitively or with any sense of urgency. Everyone expected them to suck and lose, but the effort is the problem. This entire team seems mentally checked out. That's the problem. Not the losing, but the damn body language and the pathetic effort. Edited December 31, 2011 by No Excuses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rebuild has started in that we gutted the roster to the bone, and cleared up cap room. The rebuild as in building a competitive roster begins next year.

You didn't really this collection of misfit toys could compete in the NBA did you? Keep circling around my question. Since the John Wall drafted, we have six first round picks brought into the team, which Leonsis himself is quoted as saying part of the rebuild. Maybe you should go ask, or better yet, read what he has to say about the rebuild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many bad teams get first round picks and do nothing. The NBA is about ALL STARS. You draft 1 guy like Kobe, Lebron, they change your franchise. Quality over quantity is the only thing that works in the NBA. We have quantity but no quality. Maybe these guys turn into something in a couple years, but right now they are a bunch of misfit toys on a franchise with a losing tradition, with an owner who has never run an NBA franchise. What coach do you think can come in here and make something of these guys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiCkSoULjA Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 The rebuilding process started 2 years ago when we shipped everyone out it's just that's it's failing. I hope Flip is holding Wall back and making him play in this garbage offense at least i hope that's the problem. Blatche is garbage but the point guards has too make it easier for his big men, we should not have Blatche going 1 on 1 everytime down court, we should not have McGee throwing shy hooks except for the occasional Alley. **** this garbage offense give Wall the ball and tell him create, he should have the ball for most the possession I don't care if he gets 10 turnovers he has too learn. I can't take Blatche throwing up bricks and the super sky hook from McGee. I am not saying Wall drive too the hoop every play but run around and do something not just depend on Nick Young throwing up contested shots that happen too go in, or Jordan Crawford throwing up Hail Mary's and praying it go in.

What coach do you think can come in here and make something of these guys? Keep deflecting and building up strawman arguments. I have never argued that the NBA is not about All Stars or that the coach can make something of these guys. You said we weren't rebuilding and to ask Leonsis. You were wrong, because we are rebuilding and Leonsis even acknowledges it. We were stacking up on first round picks to build up depth, find role players and to get younger. Leonsis acknowledges that. No one said a new coach will make these guys better. But a new coach can possibly bring out a little more effort than the current. Sometimes its good to just admit you were wrong and move on, this is a good time for you to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
