The Official Washington Wizards Thread

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

Who else is there? Serious question. I don't want another retread.


John Wall tonight: 28 points, 9/17 shooting, 2/3 from downtown, 5 rebounds, 9 assists and just 3 turnovers in 42 minutes. Second game of his career. Believe.

[No Excuses]

Some guys on another Wizards board were talking about the ex Dakota Wizards coach who is now an assistant in Memphis or San Antonio. I can't remember his name but his resume looked really solid. He's been a winner at every level he's coached.

I want a coach who can grow with this team. Flip has as much patience as a fat guy resisting cake. He's a real douchebag. One mistake for a player he doesn't like and they get the shaft for the rest of the game. Like tonight how his boyfriend Yi kept getting abused late in the game and Javale and his 7 blocks sat on the bench.

For once I am feeling you GACOLB.

I lived through 30 years of incompetence with a sprinkle of hope.

We finally have a new owner and hope of building a franchise.

You don't do that overnight. We have a cornerstone to build on. I believe.

Coaching isn't the problem, it's talent. We have to build a winning franchise in DC. Once we do that, we can get non "retreads" to come here.

I'm a member of the board you just referenced and completely agree with you as far as Flip is concerned.

He also has a tendency to throw his players under the bus publicly.

That **** is not cool.

Seriously.

I was hoping Flip would have a little more patience with the young guys of this team this year. But so far it seems like the same ol' Flip has shown up. He's an *******. I'm done with him as far as being a coach for this squad. He's done some good things in his little time in DC but his overall management of the roster is really frustrating.

I really hate to see a great effort like Wall's go to waste because his coach is a dumbass. The future is hella bright though.

Maybe we can get Gar Hurd

Seriously, you don't get good coaches on bad franchises. Baby steps.

That's true. You can't forget how Ernie brought in Tim Thibodeu to coach defense under EJ. Thibs quit within two days of joining. I'm 100% it happened because he saw how third rate the structure of this franchise is.

There is a new owner in town. Patience, good things will happen.

Lol, I'm so confused right now. How is this possible? How are we agreeing 100%?

Scuttlebutt is that EJ never wanted Thibodeaux to begin with but Ernie insisted.

And the EJ (SUPPOSEDLY) made Thibodeau so uncomfortable that he quit after two days.

EJ suspected (and rightfully so) that Thibodeau was brought in as a potential replacement.

A new era of hope, and rebuilding that isn't about changing names or jersey but cultures and team structure.

It has begun.

Coaches and GM's can come later.

I believe.

True story. Apparently Ernie wanted to fire EJ after the 2006 season but didn't have Abe's approval.

I wonder how Ernie feels about Flip right now. I know Ted isn't one to meddle with the coaches but he can't be happy with the constant yanking of young players when they make mistakes. I'm not a fan of negative reinforcement and I don't think Ted is either.

I think Flip is a solid coach.....for a veteran team.

He just doesn't seem to have a lot of patience.

Great night for D.C. sports. Capitals offense explodes and the Wizards look extremely good in a loss. John Wall is a monster. I have 100% faith in this kid after last night. What a game he had. Leonsis will turn this team around. Believe.

[Gator Bait]

He can take his talents to south beach or something.

it's sowph beach, not south beach.
