Andray Blatche Injury: Wizards Forward Sees Shoulder Specialist, Tweets 'Not Good News'

or at least some fans and say this is probably good news all around. gives him a chance to heal, hopefully get a trainer, and gives the team a chance to develop young guys. hopefully he gets hungry (no pun intended) and some distance can help him realize how he can be an attribute to the team. probably not, but hey, maybe.

Snarking here would be evil and wrong. No one deserves an injury that doesn’t heal.

If that’s it for Dray, it’s a big disappointment. Not just because of how he’s failed to develope for them, but also because his end with the franchise would have lacked the fireworks we all would have expected.

But we need his scoring we can’t score and rather I accept it or not his teammates believe in him as a scorer.

If we were more disciplined losing his scoring wouldn’t be so bad but we don’t have an offense in place that can adequately generate anything looking like quality shots.

Blatche has really just blown a chance to have a very very good career as a player with his lack of work ethic. Has one of the worst skinny chubby bodies in the nba.

Seraphin is…. anyways is N’Diaye really that bad?

And scores 20 ppg with 10 rpg…

Sorry to hear for Dray, hope him a speedy recovery.

The show must go on though. Booker should take full advantage of this opportunity. I’d like to see him get more touches in the post, because he has made some really nice moves down there the past two games. I’d rather see us try and inside out game since our guards can’t seem to shoot the ball at all.

No choice but to play Booker, Singleton and Ves now. We still need to get another shooter though, D-League?

I do hope Dray recovers well and quickly, though.

Sucks. I hope Jan’s ready.

Remember, it’s Dray we’re talking about, here. Possible interpretations:

- season-ending injury
- can’t play until next week
- can play immediately, but will need to spend an extra hour a day doing specialized training/rehab
- can’t play Wii tennis until offseason

In all seriousness, like many posters, I wish Dray well physically, and I think his heart is in the right place. But I wouldn’t jump to the conclusion that he’s out for the season. And if he is, while that leaves them very thin, I’m not sure it’s bad in the long run.

Technically, he Tweeted “NO Good News”, not “NOT Good News” .. just saying, somewhat of a difference there potentially..

Andray Blatche goes in the long line of players with all the talent but is just an absolute headcase. Its like watching Vince Carter in his prime. Vince was probably the more athletic than any wing player in NBA history. He has a three pointer he could hit from 30 feet or more, rebound, slash and pass. When he pulled that stunt by playing bad to get traded out of Toronto I lost all respect for him. Andray’s unwillingness to go inside and comparing himself to be a Dirk Nowitski type will be what kept him being someone with potential and not a top all star.
