The Official Washington Wizards Thread

[G.A.C.O.L.B.]

For those curious, here is nbadraft.net's 2011 mock so far...

http://www.nbadraft.net/2011mock_draft

Terence Jones intrigues me but we probably need to go with one of the bigs (if we're gonna be in the 5 range).

(Is it bad that we're talking about next year's draft after one game?)

Hey I know lets get tossed from a game where my team is up 30 with less than a minute to go.

White Chocolate isn't the smartest guy in the world. Wonder if he'll get suspended cause he did make contact with the ref?

[No Excuses]

He'll either get suspended or pay a huge fine. He made physical contact with the ref twice. Not really sure what upsets you so much when you just completed a 30 pt blow.

He is a closet Wizards fan maybe?

We have 81 more to go, so I'm not too worried about losing last night....however, there were some warning signs in the way in which we did lose, though.

-John Wall is a SPECIAL talent. One of, if not THE fastest player in the NBA w. the ball in his hands. It would help him (and the team) immensely if there were some reliable shooters on the perimeter who could hit an open shot.

-Nick Young needs to go. He brings NOTHING to the table. There was one possession (when he first checked into the game) where he got the ball with about 20 seconds left on the shotclock and he just puts it up. I never want to see this guy on the floor again. If there was an award for being the most one-dimensional player in the NBA, he'd be it.

-Andray Blatche....what the heck? Jumpers all game? I expected more from him, honestly. Maybe last season was a mirrage, but it doesn't seem like he's on the same page with Flip. It will be interesting to see if there is any more friction like there was last year.

-Javale McGee....wow. Dude is absolutely CLUELESS defensively. And those jumpers??? STOP.

-Cartier Martin was impressive last night.....




*Do you all think Flip is the right coach for this team? I wish we had a young-upstart like OKC did w. Scott Brooks. Honestly, I don't think Flip will be the coach going into next season.

Take a deeeeep breath. 81 games left on the schedule and it will get better.

I like Saunders as a coach but no. He is not the right coach for this team. He has a really short fuse and no patience at all.

This team will be lucky to win 32 games this season. Their bench is a joke, and they have no choice but to keep Gilbert; the team needs scoring.

trade blatche and arenas to the clippers for Blake Griffin

I'd be THRILLED if the Wizards won 32....before the season started, I was hoping for 30-35 wins.

Not coming in here to stir up crap, but I took a look at the Wizards roster and I think some of you have very unreal expectations for that team.

McGee and Blatche aren't even top 20 in the league at their positions. Same for Thornton.

Hinrich could be, but it depends on what Hinrich you get.

Wall will be a top ten point this year, maybe even slightly better.

Arenas is a question mark, but he'll be at worst okay.

Your bench isn't great. Yi Jianlian and Cartier Martin are your two best bench options at the moment.

I'd say the often hated on Cavaliers have a better overall roster, but you guys have a superstar in the making in Wall. I'd expect you guys to be better than last year due to that alone. It seems they're headed in the right direction, though. But this Wizards team is going to need patience.

If only the Clippers' organization was still that foolish. Nick Young cares about two things: his shoe collection and gaudy haircuts.

You'd think McGee's mom would have taught her son how to SHOOT a basketball during some point of his life...

Thanks for repeating what he stated at the top of his post.

Last year a lot of people were really happy about the win over Dallas in the opener. We all know what happened after that.

I have faith.
