The Official Washington Wizards Thread

Mack didn't get a single minute in the 2nd game of a back to back, even though Crawford showed himself incapable of running the point tonight.

Youth need to play.

[Runs with Scissors]

Watching some highlights online.On the Boston broadcast they were kinda making fun of Singleton.

He gave up a few baskets,they were saying "I thought he was a good defender?" and "he's getting schooled by a star player tonight"

Might be why he didn't play in the 2nd half.

He's a rookie going up against one of the better 2 guards in the league, let him learn on the job.

I'd rather see him out there hustling than Lewis bricking shots.

[Warhead36]

Boston's commentator Tommy Heinsohn is known for being the biggest homer analyst in sports so he was probably just full of **** because when Singleton was in, I thought he played alright. Of course he'll give up a few baskets here and there to Paul Pierce who is a future HOF-er but to say he got schooled is just silly.

Good tank result tonight. Maybe Blatche's near 30 point effort will up his trade value.

[No Excuses]

Jordan Crawford is the Andray Blatche of SG's.

Javale is off to a monster start. Seriously, if he keeps producing at this level, some desperate team might offer him max money.

[Destino]

If he stays at 13.8ppg, .543 fg%, and 11rebounds he won't get max but he's going to get paid. Averaging a double double at the NBAs weakest position wont be cheap. Those are better than Marc Gasols numbers in the reg season and about the same as his postseason production.

I'd be shocked if McGee can maintain it. If he does he deserves the payday. Marc got 4 years 57.7 million. It worries me because despite the hate we have no one, and I mean no one, behind him. It would really drive me to the edge if he finally gets his **** together and walks. I can think of a few teams in the market for a center too.

Flip cut his minutes!! lol

So...when are the Wizards going to get their first win?

The 10th at home against Toronto looks like a possibility. The Wizards will have a day off before that and it will be the 2nd of 3 in a row for Toronto.

After that, probably one of the two back to backs against Philly.

(By the way, has anyone looked ahead to their February schedule? Eegads is that brutal...)

3 home games to Clips, Toronto, and NY and then 5 straight road games over 10 days

This team is like watching reruns year after year. Different players, same results. I thought they were supposed to be better this year according to everyone in here? What's going on?

Pretty much everyone expected this year to be another tough rebuilding year with all the youth. When you factor in basically no training camp or preseason then it'll be even worse as our young guys are in particular need of more coaching and practice time.

No doubt. At least last night we saw a bit more concerted effort and team participation, although I'm sure that even as that trend continues it won't translate to very many wins. We are too young and not well-enough coached to grow very much in this short season.

However, if last night's play continues I will enjoy watching them suck a lot more.

I never liked Flip and can't wait until he's gone. And Jordan Crawford is easily my least favorite wizard

I was a Flip fan when he arrived but I'm seeing more clearly now that he's just not strict enough to manage this bunch of young yahoos. We need a disciplinarian and a true teacher.

I think guys like Crawford and Blatche are just too dumb to teach. The first step is brining in teachable players.

[Chachie]

BTW- I did like what I saw of Seraphin last night.

[Warhead36]

Crawford is what he is: a streaky scorer. He's basically a better version of Juan Dixon. Maybe he can develop into a JR Smith one day, that's probably his best case scenario. I'm fine with him as a 6th man bu the should not start and he should not be a primary ball-handler.
