I'm a big Flip hater...but if we actually hold on to win this game (last two games...beat two playoff teams) do we have to give Flip some credit? This team seems to be improving.

If we win today, we'll be 6-4 in our last 10 games. Flip has been coaching a lot better and the team has been playing well for the most part.

I've actually noticed an improvement with Dray the past 5 or 6 games. I especially like he came out in the second half against Boston after mentally checking out of the game via KG in the 1st half

Its fools gold my man. Blatche shows up like that once in every 6 games. Id rather have a guy who shows up every game.

I'd like to see us run this lineup for the next 5 minutes and see how it does:

Wall

Shakur

Young

Lewis

McGee

I agree...but I'm hoping he'll build on it....which he isn't doing tonight.

The 180 degree attitude change of mine toward Rashard Lewis over the course of the past month or so is amazing!

I propose we rename Andray Blatche to Black Pesh

Just finished the game. Some thoughts:

It's only two games so I'm not going to make any strong declarations about him, but Shakur has really shown up so far. He plays his ass off but he's also under control. That's something that Wall struggles with. Question: Is Shakur instead of Hinrich a big loss?

That first half was the best refereeing I've seen in a Wizard game since I can't remember when.

I can't take serious anyone who watched this game and is still a Blatche believer.

Oh and I love how we utilize Booker's speed and have him pressing the ball on D every single possession.

Here's my thing....and it falls on Flip's head. WHY does he continue to give Blatche a long leash? I never see Flip getting in Blatche's grill (like he does McGee) after HORRIBLE play. There are plenty of instances where the dude should be benched, but he's left in the game. I know McGee isn't perfect, but I can tolerate his mistakes moreso than Blatche's because it at least looks like he cares. I am through with Blatche....actually, I've been done with the dude for a while. He's got zero commitment to improving his game. Wizards bus should have made a detour through Brooklyn and left his behind somewhere in East New York.

*VERY imrpessed w. Shakur. Small sample size, but he's looked really good (and a nice change of pace PG) in the 2 games that he's been here. Dude REALLY gets at it defensively. I hope it warrants another 10 day contract.

I think I\'d rather get rid of Hinrich before Blatche in all seriousness, but if this Shakur guy can make the best of his time here, maybe he could snatch a spot. However I wouldnt mind seeing Blatche go either.

Hearing 6 ft 11 Blatche on 106.7 the fan admitting he is okay with being called a finesse player and his response to Flip calling him out for bad play, again. with I do what I do has me willing to pay for his ticket out of here for a half eaten Spam Sammich, if we can get that.

Blatche infuriates me. It makes it so hard to watch sometimes. As I told Wiz fans in Charlotte at the Bobcats game a few weeks ago, I don't know if there is a more talented terrible player in the league. He is just so soft most of the time and makes such bad decisions. Its like his basketball IQ has gone backwards over the last few years. He flips that switch once few games and has a good game, but even then he has a few plays where you wonder what exactly he was thinking. Those games have to be the only reason that he still get as many minutes as he does. I mean, he is a 6'11 forward that is shooting 42% from the field. He could be so much better, but I don't know if he cares.

I keep trying to convince myself that we are trying to showcase him for a trade. But performances like last night do not help.

I think you saw Flip pull the leash back last night. That had to have been the most minutes Booker has gotten all season.

And I think Flip gets in McGee's face because McGee isn't a lost cause like Blatche. To me, that's coaching. He has no interest in coaching Blatche. It's just whatever.

Yeah I just saw what he said, now I feel stupid having five bobbleheads of his including two autographed ones. DAMN HIM.
