It’s not good when you can look at three starters and make a good case for each one being yanked. If you add Lewis, you’re looking at another guy who probably can’t start for a good team at this stage of his career.

I think Flip needs to get that leadership book he loaned AB back and read it

in the first half when mcgee got the ball near the 3 point line and started trying to take it to the hoop. He almost turned it over and it went out of bounds but we retained possession and wall turned around to Flip and yelled at him to take McGee out for dribbling, which flip did not do.

I wonder if all the bad vibes on two losses is good because it shows passion or bad because it means a further meltdown is coming?

Also, isn’t it weird that Nick Young is the only guy who seems happy and effective? Maybe that training camp was a real bad scene.

how dysfunctional this team is. I think this is honestly one of the most dysfunctional teams that I’ve ever seen. This is just awful how they are handling things. The wheels are definitely coming off. You have some guys that are tired of losing and now we’re getting to the point that fingers are starting to be pointed. Flip needs to get control of this team otherwise we could be in for a dreadful season.

Arenas must be chuckling like a mad scientist.

If Ernie Grunfeld feels like working in the NBA ever again, he better do something with this roster and fast!

I propose a new starting 5 which consists of: Wall, Young, Singleton, Lewis and McGee. Blatche is the worst player to ever play for any DC team ever. It is such a shame that our franchise is being represented by him. He is the absolute worst.

Burger Boy Blatche!

for improvement. Complacency and buddie-buddie is not. Chemistry comes from complimentary skill sets, not off court hijinks.

Don’t think it’s Crawford because Wall and Crawford are close off the court. Don’t think it’s Rashard because I don’t think John would call out a veteran like that, and plus Rashard was the only other player who scored during that stretch. Don’t think it’s JaVale because he was actually having an impact.

Training camp – Wall screaming at McGee
1st preseason game – Flip goe sin on the team effort during the post game press conference
1st regular season game – Blatche media mess
2nd regular season game – Wall goes in on teammate

this team is more dysfunctional than the Redskins under Zorn. If we don’t fix things then Wall is gone when his contract is up. Lets start talking draft 2 games into the season.

On a young team??? Get outta here. No one said this was gonna happen overnight.

Off topic a little, but here’s to cooler heads and no more blatche!!! That guy just irriates me. He looks like someone’s dad out there rather than a strong, laterally quick BBall player. His grimace is so disheartening. Singleton, the spot is yours to rip from his fleeting ability. Please take it!!!!

Go Wiz!

But can ya say “small sample size”? It’s nice that Nick got four assists though.

But things are really going to get bad fast. Nick is most likely gone after this year. John will probably want out soon. And nobody def wants to play here. I really hope things don’t get out of control and the guys start playing together to at least get to a point where we aren’t bashing every single player

And this isn’t good for Wall, at all. I’m actually glad all of this is happening so soon into the season, because Ernie has to see all of this, and we have to assume the man isn’t STUPID, I mean….he isn’t…..right?

I think he’ll make the right moves (any that he can), and do what NEEDS to be done, as hard as it may seem: Look at the players who can be part of a championship, keep them, and move everyone else….

Also, looking forward to Jan’s debut, whenever that may be. Liked what I saw from the preseason game he played in. Kid looks comfortable out there. Would anyone else be against a starting 5 of:

John Wall
Nick Young
Jan Veseley
Chris Singleton
JaVale McGee

?….I think it would work pretty well. Especially on defense, with chris and Jan really boosting the problems we’ve been having on the perimeter.

With all the cap space that we have, I think it would be in our best interest to package, Blatche, Crawford, Booker and Ndyae to Memphis for a second round pick and rudy gay.

(right now Gay is coming off the bench and is being paid handsomely)

In the off-season we should court the likes of Bynum, and Eric Gordon

(if young decided to bolt because his friends wont be here anymore)

Most likely we will have a top 5 pick and I would perhaps go with Jared Sullinger and reshape the entire team

Wall,Gordon,Singleton,Sullinger,Bynum…now that team can make OKC like leaps and go from 15 wins to 50 wins.

But hey im not the GM and my job definitely isnt on the line

the starters have been terrible together. Lewis ever since he’s been a member of the Wizards has never played in the flow with the guys. Its not rocket science what needs to happen.

They need to pull Lewis for Singleton. And NY for Crawford. That the 1st change of starters that needs to happen.

The Mcgee/Blatche frontline is horrid quite simply because Blatche won’t defend. Mcgee always feels like he has to be in the middle always regardless of where his man is to contest shots because Blatche will just not cover his back will not take a charge or attempt to block a shot or rotate back.

Unless he gives more effort Blatche needs to get benched. I don’t even see a valauble role for him off the bench unless he commits to defending.

Wall has gotta relax and show more patience on the floor and with the team. His body language is becoming very troubling. He needs to ramp up his defensive effort things not related to scoring to get guys to follow him. He seems frustarted by the guys not following him. 1st he has to show them that he’s willing to do whatever it takes by playing defense, diving for a loose ball.

His response to his frustration can’t be pouting, screaming for the coach to replace guys or driving wreckless to the hoop .

Wall is still very immature. He needs a very strong coach to teach him about leadership. You can’t just claim the mantle of leadership by deflecting things. You gotta do it accepting things taking blame when its not his fault say its up to me to do a better job getting the guys shots take the hit.

He’ll learn in time.

we absolutely need to start young and singleton. unfortunately though i think we still need to start blatche. hes acted stupidly before and had terrible games before but he still provides offense from the four and will have some trade value at the deadline if we sweep this under the rug and give him minutes.
although if we’re gonna lose anyway we might as well start vesley and let wall rack up stats, golden state style
