The Unibrow has gotten my attn.

imagine if he shaved it off and let it grow back to be even more thicker....no one would ever come in the paint

Flip has been Head Coach for 2 years, 9 months, 5 days, or 1010 days.

Just saying.

It has the potential for some really bad and hilarious fan night props.

I'm watching this Heat Spurs game and remembering how much I wanted Kawhi Leonard in the draft. Not saying that he's an all star, but he does look nice guarding Lebron and he's getting some nice shots off too.

I said from the start that there was no way he should be going at 6. And sure enough, he fell to 15. Three picks before Singleton, who I'm more than happy with.

Flip has been dealt an awful hand. Came here to coach a veteran playoff team, ended up with a bunch of knuckleheads.

He's lost the locker room. This is basically a throw away season. I don't agree with it, but that's exactly what it is. At worst, the ownership should be attempting to hire a shooting coach. Where is Dave Hopla?

Team looks good, just minimize turn overs.

Decent first half for the Wiz against the Thunder, we were matching them step for step until that 7-0 run to end the half.

[Gator Bait]

so if we were able to get Anthony Davis in the draft (who I must say I'm not sold on for this team....but it seems to be a consensus that he is the best player in the draft) do we throw a max offer at Eric Gordon to provide some desperately needed scoring?

I didn't get to see the first half; can anyone tell me why McGee only had 10 minutes in the first half?

Seemed like Flip hit him with the Evil Eye after some bad pick and roll D.

I wouldn't give a max deal to Eric Gordon, he's good, but he's not max contract good. Then again, I don't think it will take a max deal to get him.

could be a flawed opinion on how to get players here.....but I don' think anyone is going to want to come play in DC without getting overpaid. We aren't gonna be a playoff team until we get some scorers. I agree with you that Eric Gordon is not quite max contract good....but he is pretty damn good and likely hasn't reached his potential. offering a max deal will likely mean the Hornets don't match (he is a RFA) and it will give us a legit scorer/all star caliber guy to pair with Wall in the back court. This free agency is really lousy, so I don't see any other options.

[NotSoSuper]

McGee is still an idiot.

[Gator Bait]

this has to be the worst shooting team in NBA history

I gotta give it some thought, but I definitely understand where you're coming from. I'm dying to see Wall play with a legit, NBA All-Star caliber scorer. Or two.

Your point is valid. It just may take a max deal to get some real talent to come here.

We are shooting like ****, yet we're only down 5. This game is winnable.
