I think it was about a dozen games ago when the Sports Junkies (don't judge me, I really that show) were openly mocking him and saying that they'd take Rubio over him and how he'd NEVER develop a J. I'm not saying that he's there yet, but he's definitely improved from the beginning of the year.Quote:

I really wish I could get more than 30 minutes of a 4 or 5 hour show dedicated to Wizards talk, especially when half of that is dedicated to Blake Griffin or Jeremy Lin or whoever else is going crazy right now.Quote:

They are a bunch of idiots, the junkies is awful now. Wall has the best raw skill set of any PG in the league right now. Put one legitimate NBA star next to him and watch.Quote:

Great game.
yeah, but like I said earlier, Washington basketball fans are like Philly football fans - always wanting what they don't have and complaining about what they do have. Junkies are cool radio talk, but not really cool for sports talk in general. But they do a good job of waking me up and keeping me entertained in the morning and for that I support them (at least I can make it through a whole show with them. Chad Dukes is so annoying to me that I just have to turn that show off half the time. He seriously has anger management issues. He can't take fans who call in and have a legit point that disagrees with him. I remember when he was insulting any fan who said that RG3 was better than Luck, or that we shouldn't go after Manning. Dude is corny). Sorry, don't mean to hijack this thread, but I do wish I could get more Wizards talk on the radio stations, Especially when the said station is the Official Station of the Washington Wizards.Quote:

I liked that he kept Vesely in there until he fouled out - Was that over Booker? I think Singleton was in there. Anyway, I was impressed.Quote:

I wish John Thompson would talk more technically about wizards ball but with him you get things like "that boy just needs to decide if he wants to be a leader" and other similar one liners.Quote:

Yea I hope the Wiz sign Batum and Goran Dragic, I think Dragic would be a great backup up for WallQuote:

Wall PG
Young/Crawford/Ross (You probably let young go or trade crawford, can't have all 3)
Batum
Davis
Mcgee
Be a fun lineup to watch
This would get me actually excited for next season
And then the only real talk about the Wizards (especially on 1067) is about how much they suck or these conversations meant to make fans feel bad about the quality of the product - fire Erine, trade Wall, is Wall a bust, I hate Blatche, is Vesely a bust, etc.I mean at least with the Terps talk (which again is very little) we get some kind of balance, especially with this year and the questions about how we judge Turgeon. Maybe its just a part of the curse. But I've learned that when I want to talk Wizards, I go to online communities cause the radio doesn't do them justice.Quote:

Yeah, I just change the channel. Its sad when I'd rather listen to NPR than Peyton Manning talk.Quote:
