More to come (constantly refreshing):
- Randy Wittman said he'll start the same five that began the game against Philadelphia, but also said he is treating each player with a "blank slate."
- Wittman repeated his ethos about the players earning PT in practice. I asked how that will happen when the team won't actually practice much due to the compressed schedule, and Wittman admitted that "shootarounds are going to have to be some practice days for us."
- Andray Blatche spoke before the game, proving once again that, for all his faults, he faces the music. "At some time and point, we can't just say it's our coaches' fault. We just got to do something on our own. We're all accountable for this."
- Blatche said he and Wittman talked and Wittman was blunt with him. "He said it clearly. He's disappointed in how he's playing this season and I agree with him." I asked Blatche if Flip Saunders ever did that, and Blatche said Saunders mostly "made sure I kept my head [and] was trying to be positive." I found that interesting.
- This was not a vote of confidence in Wittman's talking point that the Wizards need to run more. Blatche: "We were running when Flip was here so I don’t know about that. That's what Flip mentioned, get out and run."
- Speaking of a lack of confidence, here's Wittman: "It's going to be a process. There's no miracles. I don't have the magic touch. But it's going to be a process that's gotta start tonight. If we do that, if we have a full focus of changing and playing the way that we need to play, good things are gonna happen."
- Also, don't expect a lot of structural changes to the offense tonight. Wittman: "No, it's not a whole lot of structural change. Like I said, there's not a lot structurally we can do right now. They had a day off yesterday and we had a shootaround today. So you tell me how much we structurally changed it."
GO WIZARDS!

Like doing nothing. I know it’s only game #1 with Witt, but seriously, why fire Flip then?

I dropped my slice of pizza when he said that
Did you not notice that Blatche and Lewis need to be sitting down on the bench watching games courtside for two years, or do you need to read this blog? What?
Back to this bullsh*t lineup?
I want Booker and Singleton please.

Also
Can we stop playing Rashard Lewis 26-27 minutes per game? He’s washed up, the one skill he really had before he arrived here (3 pt shooting) for whatever reason is no longer there, and he simply isn’t part of our future. Play to develop, not necessarily to win, Randy! Your job is already ensured for the rest of the season!
Wittman said young players cant expect to play big minutes anymore

Well, Blatche and Lewis have certainly earned a reduction in theirs
given the way they’re playing. There should always be a balance between “earning your playing time” and “you need playing time for development.”

he is viewed negatively because he is the very definition of underachiever.
Which may or may not have been the case if he had gone to college, but I wouldn’t count on it. He’s had 7 years experience. That’s more than enough time to stop being a knucklehead, 25 yo or no.

I forgot about Kemba
There’s a reason to watch this game. Wall vs. Walker. One and done vs. four-year starter and champion.
Yea
I know for a fact that if Dray was 20 pounds lighter, he’d be able to handle the minutes, AND he’d still be playing at a pretty high level.
I wonder how much tons of extra weight contributes to messing up your jumper?
Watching old clips of Dray last night…he was thin and agile, quick, sneaky if you will…had a great mid range jump shot, could hit it from anywhere, and he made dudes respect it so he could run by the defense with a quick first step.
Now, just saying “dray” and “quick first step” in the same sentence is HILARIOUS.
God…what happened to you, Dray…
You know for a fact?
Did you use a time machine to explore an alternate timeline in which Blatche went to Whole Foods instead of Burger King?

Starting to think that Dray's pre-season promotion photos
were HEAVILY photo shopped.
unless he gained 30 pounds in 3 days.
If that's true and we don't win
Is that rock bottom?
Get ready for a Matt Carroll career game
I’m gonna burst a blood vessel watching this
I could handle that too
As long as the Wiz win
I'm afraid
Randy Wittman is gonna try to win games instead of developing our rooks.
That is why we are where we are.
Ed Tapsnot was interim and wanted to show that he could get some W’s where Jordon couldn’t.
It looks good on the resume` this year but doesn’t do anything for getting PT for the guys that are spossed to be our future.
We ain’t going anywhere so let’s play everyone and see who can play.
Classic Ernie the Politician
He is forever dedicated to justifying bad decisions he’s made. He will never give up on Blatche, and he will never give up on Jan (hey, I love the guy, but). And trading the fifth pick in the draft was the right thing to do (or Abe made him do it) and Flip was hired for a different reason and there was no way to move up in the 2011 draft and … you get what I’m saying.
I actually think Jan is one of his better picks....
Not sure what that says, but Jan looks like he’ll range anywhere from “very very solid” to “great”
holy shit
The worst team in the nba and they’re missing half their starters… Man if we don’t win this one I’m jumping out my window

Wittman loses this game his era will seem like a dream like it never really happened.
because the Bobcats are very shoddy.
Why doesn't the team run more high PNRs for Wall?
He would be an absolute terror driving to the basket if we did that more. It’s the main reason why I want this whole coaching staff fired. Wall would look much better in a different offensive system.
Formerly know as iNFamous SWaGG
I don't know what you're watching
We may not be doing it this game, but we do run a lot of PnRs with JaVale and Andray. The problem is since John can’t shook the defense just goes under the screen.

But Wall shouldn’t expect to get 38 minutes per game while showing poor effort according to wittman

I would respect him if he tied down some of the vets to the bench for a couple games just to prove a pt.
Tighten the rotation because we gotta pay Blatche and Lewis don’t mean we gotta play them. Nick Young if he starts gunning and not passing would eat pine as well.

What happened to Blatche this year anyway.
I’m not booing him, but he just looks so out of shape. I don’t ever remember seeing him get wide open layups and thinking “oh gosh, he’s getting swatted somehow”.
Will work for Recs.

I don't remember him looking so bad in year's past.
I mean, he was never Blake Griffin, but I was at the OKC game and he got a 1-on-1 fastbreak and couldn’t even dunk.
I remember him shanking a dunk against CHI last year, it was hilarious.

So far Blatche has been effective...
He needs to lose weight, but otherwise he’s been active. Fans in my section are being merciless however.
by TerroristFistJab on Jan 25, 2012 7:54 PM EST via mobile reply actions
well he's been blocked like three times now.
seems like every time he touches the ball around the basket (and these are some nice passes being dished to him) he blows the scoring chance.
by young, loud and Scotty on Jan 25, 2012 7:55 PM EST up reply actions
11 pts and several boards
Alot of hustle plays. He needs his conditioning to improve. The hate at this point is overdone.

This is getting ridiculous
Blatche is proving all of us right
I wonder what the record is for total blocks in a game by 2 teams
by TremendousUpside on Jan 25, 2012 7:55 PM EST reply actions
blatche is playing ok tonight.
…….but it’s really apparent that he needs some serious conditioning work…….
by DCeee on Jan 25, 2012 7:55 PM EST reply actions 1 recs
The real fear I have is that his metabolism is slowing down
And he’s going to balloon like Walker or Kemp.
At least he didn't get booed to bad tonight
There aren’t enough fans to make noise.
wall is literally going to hurt Blatche at some
Point…you just have to laugh

Blatche found the ONE guy he can take off the dribble

I actually think that the best part of his game
He has an above average handle for the 4.
His lack of a vertical, however, is killing him.
He can take everyone off the dribble
it’s that damn second and third step. He’s really quick.

Am I a bad person for hoping that evertime Blatche goes down he gets injured?

dray is really out of shape
but you can’t blame him for not trying.
that's what's so frustrating
he’s playing well tonight! he would be having a monster game if he kept himself in shape and got stronger.

Far and away our best TEAM performance in as long as I can remember

we’d be down 15 to any other NBA team

i remember looking up avg point differential
i think charlotte was the only team worse than us
ok...so we are back to one mistake and out of the game you go
Unless you name is Blatche

Watching Charlotte possessions is like watching Washington possessions on any other night. I’d say I feel sorry for Charlotte fans, but then I realize that I have to put up with that kind of play most every other Wiz game.

yea, they've obviously been told to never say anything negative
i’d rather have the basketball version of sam and sonny, be less boring
Has Booker been in yet?

they are playing no different Wittman's subs are as clumsy as Flips were the offense doing the same things
we are just playing a banged up Bobcats team is all.
New theory on Blatche
They’re going to keep him until the end of the year because they need his pathetic 12 pts per and then amnesty or trade this offseason.

yeah what the hell?

Tyrus Thomas shooting 35% on the season?
remember when that kid was halfway decent on the bulls?
Lewis gave up on the play
Took away an assist from Wall.
i think this game will be on grantland's "worst NBA games" series
second appearance woohoo!
Wall looks pissed they took him out

No ,but
He was told we were “gonna run more”. Turns around, and the oldest player on the team is the only one with him.

Nicke play Booker
Good luck by Lewis. I know the Bobcats play terrible defense, but the Wizards ball movement looks so much better tonight.
my god there is a team worse than the wiz
didn’t think it was possible!
Bobcats have 3 wins I think
This isn’t a borderline playoff team. It’s a terrible team, and it’s hurt.
We have the
Two most in athletic starting forwards in the league.

Shooting is a skill that doesn't erode that much over time though
Look at Ray-ray. There’s no excuse for the way Lewis has been shooting from downtown. Maybe that ugly form has something to do with it, idk.
