WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Here are your postgame quotes, grabbed tonight by Michael Katz of SB Nation D.C. as I went into the Kings locker room for some other duties.
RANDY WITTMAN
Opening statement: "Until our team is committed to playing winning basketball, until they're committed to doing that, we're going to be like this team was tonight. There wasn't anything in that second half that was done to win the game. There wasn't."
On what he means by "winning basketball:" "Our mindset went to each of us making it a great night [individually] no matter what they did. Trap, weren't going to move the ball. If they score, try to score every time they touch the ball. Right down the line. Shots go up and guards from Sacramento crash the boards and put it in six times in the fourth quarter. Six times, our guys standing at the three-point line watching. That's not winning basketball."
On Nick Young's 360 missed layup: "We got guys going in for a layup, reverse 360 and misses the whole thing. Crowd oohd and awed, but we didn't get any points out of it."
On JaVale McGee's flagrant goaltend: "What his job in the pick and roll is is not to let the guard get to the rim. Goaltended? That had nothing to do with it. Nothing to do with it."
On the guards' turnovers, changing pronouns: "When I'm double-teamed and I continue to try to do something against the double team, you're going to turn it over, plain and simple. Plain and simple. They need to introduce themselves to some of the bigs that they never throw the ball to."
JOHN WALL
On what happened in the second half: "They had open shots, and we kept going down and took tougher shots, which led to them getting easy buckets. In the first half, we moved the ball and had 68 points. In the second half, we didn't."
On the team's offense in general: "I think I think the best job I could just trying to run the offense and passing the ball to open guys. It's tough. When you move the ball and let somebody else get it, you let them do whatever they want on offense. It's tough. We made open shots, but we didn't make the right passes or the right open shots that we did in the first half to get easier shots."
On the team's reputation: "A lot of people say we're soft at times. You can see it."
On losing: "It's tough on anybody to be in this kind of position, and it's tough on me coming from a winning program and a winning mindset. But I just got to listen to the advice I get from guys. Steve Nash gave me some great advice in Phoenix. I just need to take those things on and try to get better as a player, game by game, day by day, and just try to lead your team. That's all I can do, just try to lead my team and put us in position to win games. If I fall short, I put the pressure on myself."
NICK YOUNG
On the 360 layup: "I did that in the past. If it goes in, everyone's on my side. If I miss it, it's a bad shot."
ROGER MASON
On why they keep reverting to not sharing the ball: "We have some bad habits as a team. We're trying to break them. When you have bad habits, sometimes you go back to those habits. The games where we've had success, we've played team defense, we've shared the ball and we've been a team. The games where we struggled are when we try to do it on our own."
ISAIAH THOMAS (BONUS QUOTE)
On what Wall said to him in the first half: "Me and John are good friends, and we were just going back and forth. He said, 'Get somebody out there to stop me,' and I said, 'OK, wait until I come back in the second half.' So we were going back and forth. He's a great player. He's so hard to guard because he's going so damn fast."

Rebound by committee....just do it guys..
unless its a exceptionally good fastbreak team, then beware, but otherwise, gotta gang rebound, hate us just standing around the 3pt line watching.
Nick – the 360 was unnecessary, thats why ppl arent on ur side abt it. When u did it vs Dallas, it was required to get the shot off, and it was glorious.
Isaiah Thomas – with the nice olive branch comment, coulda said ’ yeah, yeah i took to him, he cant stop me’

The main thing that kills me with this team
And the main thing that kills this team
gotta gang rebound, hate us just standing around the 3pt line watching.Players aren’t in constant motion, too much watching on both ends of the floor especially on the defensive end with help rotations and rebounding.
I'm not going to think of something extra witty or clever to say, I don't want to convince you to see things my way, I just have 2 words for you: JEREMY LAMB
our team stands around more than they move
Nick jumps higher on his 360s than his rebounds…redirecting his effort would be a nice start…saw him just standing under the basket getting rebounded over at least twice…saw the same with bigs multiple times…
Rebounding is technique and effort…we have neither….hoping the trade deadline is used to send a message…
Thats the exact same thing I see game after game
Players dont move around and neither does the ball. Makes it much easier for the other team’s defense to key in on specific players.

here's the frustrating thing
jan and booker and seraphin are supposed to be hustle guys (turiaf, too) who are going to change our culture. but they have no offense. i think eg just needs to trade/let the dead weight go (there’s about 6 guys there) and spend some money on a quality pf.
LOL at Wittman's comments to the guards about the Bigs.
I wonder does in the course of the game he tell Nick , Wall and Crawford the bigs are open find them. That was a quippy line but in all seriousness that something he can harp on.
I knew the early guard success was gonna lead to the doom that happened in the 2nd half. We got a bunch of Hero sandwiches on the team.

but at the end of the game who were they supposed to pass to in the post??
Rashard Lewis, or Kevin?? McGee had a bad game for the most part and Booker was in foul trouble…. this was not a game to look inside lol
I agree
I could not believe the line up he played at the end of the game. If we are going to get out rebounded like this at least put our best rebounders in.
Add to that I can not believe that having JaVale in wouldnt have altered at least a couple of Thomas’s drives.
They played poorly in the 4th and you cant put it all on Randy, but I would rather lose with our best players.
wrong he was speaking of throughout the game
and throw it in to them anyway how many freaking times have we seen this season our guards go into Harlem Globetrotter mode and shoot us outta games.
How many times how about stop forcing shots move the ball and look inside for the high percentage stuff.
Its not about that though
When you are double teamed the right play is to pass out of it. Dribbling or trying to make plays out of it will result in TOs more likely than not, its harder to swing across through a double and for some reason our guys dont look inside to the bigs to relieve pressure from the double team.
I'm not going to think of something extra witty or clever to say, I don't want to convince you to see things my way, I just have 2 words for you: JEREMY LAMB
this team was up so much in the first half this game never should have been close- never
it was their last game on a long road trip, the second of a back to back before the all star break…punch them hard and shut them down and a 10 win team will quit. we never shut them down…obviously, giving up nearly thirty points a quarter
by les boulez bomber on Feb 22, 2012 11:47 PM EST up reply actions
Does anyone else see that the offense is predicated on getting the ball to one player, then letting him score?
Even the post ups to Javale, its pass the ball to him and isolate him. Then especially with Nick Young, once Wall passes to him Nick shoots and thats why everyone calls him a black hole. They should be running Nick around screens and allowing him to catch and shoot and not create for himself.
I always see the same play design where Nick runs off a screen from one side of the court to another, than its basically an isolation play… again… But i guess its not on Wittman if he’s been clamoring for post entry passes but Nick doesn’t pass them.
And i think most of Wittman’s comments were directed at Nick, matter fact most of his comments in the past few weeks have been directed at Nick, especially all these hero ball comments, and if thats the case he needs to bench Nick for a little bit and maybe play Singleton or even Mo Evans just to get his point across. I really like Nick but he isn’t getting the job done.

I've noticed that too. Randy needs to get some real plays
I remember one play where nick got the ball at the 3 pt line and he passed it to John and John gave it right back to him and backed off to let him 1 on 1 for another brick.

Most half court offenses are predicated on screens; so it doesnt help that we set poor screens. it is compounded by the fact the team is not smart enough to keep doing what they find does work until the other team can stop them. they find success, then try something else way too often

And can anyone explain Wittman's comments on Javale's goaltend??
I’m not sure i understood it..
he's saying he's not mad at the goaltend, he's mad that JaVale played horrible pick and roll defense on the play
by Mike Prada on Feb 22, 2012 11:10 PM EST via iPhone app up reply actions
yep
But mcgee is in a catch 22 jump the guard and his man has a free lane because we don’t rotate not jumping the ball gets the guard a free run.
its not a catch 22. you have to do what you are suppose to do and trust the coach fixes the break down problem
you cant not do what you are suppose to do because the guy after you does not do what he is suppose to do…that is madness…and a losing mentality
by les boulez bomber on Feb 22, 2012 11:53 PM EST up reply actions
I've been listening to Catch-22 on CD lately.
The whole “You lose either way” idea is all about those authority figures – “trust the coach” – who create the situation you’re in. I totally understand your point here, and agree that once nobody trusts anyone else to make the right play it’s a downhill spiral – but Joseph Heller wrote a scathing indictment of the abuse of authority, and he’d be totally happy to go after Wittman as a Lieutenant Colonel sort of a figure, in the book.
From now on when I drop by this board, I shall refer to JaVale McGee as “Yossarian.”
(It’s an interesting listen/read. Catch-22 came out around 1960, and the [terrible from what I’ve seen] movie was in 1971, almost exactly when MASH came out too. Listening to the book it’s impossible to miss the similarities; it’s like Robert Altman was doing a riff on Catch-22 only without the rights. You get the whole insane world of the military camp, with the people hanging around in tents trying to stay sane with nothing sane to hang onto. There are Army CID men who do everything you remember Colonel Flagg from the TV series doing, jumping out of windows and so on.)
The last thing we want to do is take long twos. It's still on our list, though.
Coaches don't think like fans though
If you, as a big man, cut off the guard like you’re supposed to do and the next guy doesn’t rotate to stop your man properly, they’ll blame the next guy, not you.
it had to be abt more than the PnR defense
Cuz Javale slowed up on chasing (Jimmer/Garcia it looked like?) because the screener (Cousins?) flared out to the wing and was tryna prevent the pass and open look to him, and maybe based on the scouting report and the game he shouldnt of been concerned with conceding that wing-jumper. But even that….to draw so much ire over THAT doesnt feel right…not with everyone elses constant mistakes…the way he just volleyball punched the ball was the real f-up there
by KurisuDevil on Feb 22, 2012 11:20 PM EST up reply actions
if Singleton fully releases Garcia to Javale and Sing goes out to Cousins immediately
that doesnt happen, is that what Singleton should have done, who knows
by KurisuDevil on Feb 22, 2012 11:29 PM EST up reply actions
saw the video
man…it was ridiculous. He didnt slow, he stopped. He let the ball handler get exactly where he wanted so he could just get that block in. Its….dumb. Yes you have this incredible highlight to add to your growing repertoire, but so what. YOU LET A GUARD GET NEAR THE RIM. Had that been a steve nash, a chris paul, a rondo, they would have made him pay. If i was a coach and i saw that, id wanna bench that player. Forget how talented you are, what you did was a me first play, you said f-u to the team just so you can show off, and if i was a coach id want that player gone…..
Seriously man watching that play…..whatever respect i had for javale kinda went out the window…

if he really did that just to time a big time block
then yeah….thats bench worthy. I wanna believe it was just a brain freeze by a low iQ player tho, but he prolly did just wanna be selfish there i guess
by KurisuDevil on Feb 22, 2012 11:48 PM EST up reply actions
the video shows it, it wasnt bone headed, he was watching the ball handler the whole time
he didnt hedge, didnt even try to blcok his path, he gave him the lane, pause it at :06, cousins is damn near the 3pt line, mcgee isnt giving him any attention, the ball handler is about to drive to the rim, teh guy guarding him is making a move towards him, fighting hard through the screen (he does a great job)….all javale had to do was just take one or two steps towards the lane and the ball handler would have been stopped and would have to reset whatever he was doing.
Instead javale takes two steps THE OTHER WAY, giving him the lane while completely focusing on the ball handler, so he wasnt even concerned with cousins, he was concerned with the ball handler and yet was giving him the lane, and then he calmly walks up to the rim knowing the guard was going to go for a shot, and gathers himself for the block.
Its totally selfish

can't defend it
but it was almost like Javale was trying to figure out how to time his jumps with these guys. He keyed up on a lot of block attempts that ended up with Thomas sweetly arcing it right over JV’s arms.
Really impressed with the control Thomas has going to the hole amongst the trees.
the coach is right. you do what you are suppose to do and let the coach fix the problem with the guy not doing what he is suppose to do
you cant just do what you want bec someone else will screw up. obviously, saving the play is not working…we have seen it in about 30 games this season

6-23
I didn’t watch this game, thankfully I guess, but NY shot 6-23. That’s kind of mind-boggling, really.
Wittman may suck, but I feel a little sorry for him. Felt that way for Flip, too.
I like Wittman.
He is not the best coach in the league but he knows what he talks about and he is not afraid to make it frank.
I like how he and Sam are energetic, going up and down and yelling at the sidelines.
I can’t tell if he’s any good or not. That’s our main problem, I guess.

A couple things I noticed
We could have really used Turiaf tonight. Once Booker got in foul trouble there was almost no one crashing the boards. Randy may have made a difference in the horrific rebounding at the end. Couldnt have scored any less than the guys we had out there.
I liked seeing Singleton work on his jumper before the game and at the half, while the other guys were doing the usual jumper then highlight dunk, he was working on his jumper. Hopefully that is true in practice too.
I knew it would be a rough night for Javale when he almost walked off the court in the first, not realizing someone else was getting subbed. Then later he lined up wrong for a free throw, didnt realize the Kings were shooting not the Wizards
Randy's pissed
Gonna be a long practice tomorrow
by oakhillswag on Feb 22, 2012 11:26 PM EST via mobile reply actions
I said it in an earlier blog earlier it today…
when JW learns to consistently hit his shots and run the offense better, he will have the confidence to exert his leadership role and take ownership of this team and players. and when that happens, whoever remains on this team will fall in line, and WAS will play winning ball.
but until that day comes, and it will, we will still surrender to watching leaderless puppies on the court try to step up and be the difference maker in this losing madness called hero ball
this team knows what it needs to do. they dont do it often enough. and they arent doing it enough because JW has not developed the skills to have the confidence to lead this team the way it needs to be led ON the court
not a knock on him. he is 20 or so, and just two years removed from playing HS basketball. until then, i pray eg gets a clue how to build the right roster and pray even harder that ted gets a clue that ernie is not the right guy and fails to extend him

for the 60th pick
the kings really got a player in isaiah thomas. kinda small, but a great defender and looks like a natural distributor out there. way better of a pick than Jimmer, and probably a better player too
"Through your existence, become wealthy, knowledge is king"- Nasir Jones
"When you play for the Wizards, [Gilbert Arenas] is like Michael Jackson. He's playin with a lot of Tito Jacksons." - Charles Barkley
Nick Young wants to make SC...he can do that elsewhere
That is basically an I could care less quote…the type of quote that should cause him to lose money…
John Wall trash talking came back to bite him in the butt…seems like he is motivated a bot through talking himself up…but if I recall correctly, at the time Tyreke Evans was basically running his own personal layup line..John Wall will become a leader when starts worrying about what his team is doing instead of how he is playing…
this team is in dire need of a leader…(Ted needs to amend his plan…the lack of Vet leadership during the early stages of the rebuild is killing both of his teams, as his teams are learning horrific habits)
One of those night it absolutely hurts to be a fan of this team….
Since my post above will get deleted :)
I 100% agree. That mentality (along with his 1-dimensional game) are why he has to be gone. I dont care if we can keep him cheap. Want him out of the locker room, especially if McGee stays
by Maroon and Black on Feb 23, 2012 12:00 AM EST up reply actions
The problem isn't a lack of vets
We have several veteran players on the team. The main problem we have is lack of interior defenders. When Booker gets into early foul trouble, our interior defense falls apart. While better veteran talent would be helpful no doubt, the team’s most critical need is rebounding and interior defense.
BTW - Intro video tonight was changed to eliminate all
images of Blatche, but he remained in the burrito video…
(for those who didn’t see this in the game thread)…
I suspect that the cost of this effort implies some foreshadowing.
Intro music was changed as well…not for the bettter…same music is used during Heat home intros…
not sure what is going on…
its a sign
blatche is going to be traded to miami

Blatche would love that
and I’m sure most Wizards fans would love to get Udonis Haslem back in return (Heat’s 2nd all-time leading rebounder next to Zo). Haslem makes about 5-6M/yr so throw in another Heat scrub and the financial aspect of the trade would work out too. Unfortunately, w/the way the Heat are playing right now, I don’t think they are trading anyone.

Why would the Heat do it?
They have a smart GM.
This needs AB and Turiaf back
The frontcourt is simply not getting it done right now — particularly when McGee goes out. The fact that we were outrebounded by SAC when Cousins really didn’t even play the 4th qtr is disconcerting. I also don’t understand the love affair with Booker. He had a plus/minus of 11 tonight. 2 points (on 1-3 shooting), 6 boards and 0 blocks to go with 3 turnovers is not getting it done for a starting power forward. I’ll ride and die with Blatche’s inconsistent game over Booker’s consistent lack of offense any day. Seraphin played OK tonight but I just don’t see him as an NBA-caliber player. Once Turiaf gets back I expect this team to defend the paint much better. A very disappointing loss going into the All-Star Break. I keep looking for a reason to get optimistic about this team but they keep disappointing me. I’m starting to think Barkley is right: maybe they should be called the Generals until they turn things around. Perhaps this would motivate them to start playing hard all game - which is all we can really ask for right now.
not sure what's up with the strikeout formatting there
It started when I used the minus sign before 11 — I guess that triggered it.

Whitman is rewarding the shooters with minutes
So guess what the shooters do? They shoot more.
Lewis and NY go 8-30 with 3 assists in 65 minutes. Booker gets 6 rbs in 16 minutes. Clearly he needs to shoot more.
by ReturnofBillyJOe on Feb 23, 2012 5:44 AM EST reply actions
Yup
And a 4th foul within 30 seconds in the 2nd half. That kind of foul trouble will make anyone tenative.
Blatche only hit 50% of his shots in 4 games this year and averaged 10.3 pts / 7.1 rebounds in 28 minutes on 38% shooting, Booker has 7.3 points / 5.4 boards in 22 minutes on 56% shooting. Blatche’s PER is 11.4, Bookers is 16.3. Booker’s assist rate is also more than twice Blatche’s and while 4.6% isn’t a phenomenal number, ever little bit of passing and efficiency helps on a team that’s constantly hamstrung by it’s guards deciding that going 1 on 2 and taking inefficient shots is a viable offense.
Plus Booker has a future here. Blatche only got the minutes he did in the hopes that he’d get out of his slump and become tradeable.

Here we go round again.
Dial up the Trade Machine :-)
Witman is pretty funny.
I doubt he’ll be our coach next year but I enjoyed his comments. His comments on winning basketball struck a great tone and I’m glad he’s in these guys’ ears.
Also liked the goal tending comment. I fully expected him to have some snarky comment about the goal tend – but it was so unexpected, yet so right to be upset about the defense.
Thanks for the re-cap and quotes. This fan passed out in 3rd Quarter.
The answer is consistency.
What if McGee makes the block and Young’s 360 goes in, does Wittman still become upset with the plays and singles them out. The Wiz consistently play non-winning basketball, but when they are successful at it the coach is silent. He needs to be in McGee’s ear when he makes a difficult post move and conversion when the winning play is to make the pass out of the post to an open shooter on the perimeter. He needs to be in Young’s ear when he converts on a difficult jumper when a post player is available for an easier shot closer to the basket.
I am in total agreement with coach on calling out the unsucessful incidences of non-winning basketball, but I hope he is also letting them know that he will not accept those type plays even when they are successful.
The more fundamental answer is better talent
Our biggest need for years has been interior defense. And for years now Ernie Grunfeld has drafted only one players who fills that need – Trevor Booker. Fortunately, this year’s draft is filled with players of this type. But if Ted leaves our player acquisition in the hands of Grunfeld, I bet he’ll skip over the Davis’s, Robinsons, Sullingers and Drummonds for some uber-athletic multi-year project (a la Perry Jones) who might be ready to contribute around the time Wall leaves the team for greener free agent pastures.
haha johns pretty funny
“Put someone out there that can stop me” that’s stuff that Kobe and LeBron always say so I don’t think it was a big deal. Believe me I know john isn’t on Kobe level but I think all pro athletes do that, I just wish he didn’t get torched in the 4th haha.

I agree
It’s wrong of me, but i have a hard time faulting most anything Wall does when he’s in a good mood.
That said, he had 3 more TOs than anyone on the Kings.
its cool man i do the same thing
I just try to understand that he’s only 21 and playing with guys that aren’t very good as teammates. But for some reason I don’t get as mad if he takes a dumb shot like I would if javalle did. I know its not fair but I know he’ll learn. Especially when he is in a good mood and beasting haha

I feel the same
in my mind he is the only one who seems really angry when things go bad or they lose. I guess with the attitudes we have had here for years I am just happy to see someone hate losing.
I also think he is the only guy in the squad who times dominates a game. there was a stretch last night where he was everywhere.

Keepers and Goners
Keepers:
Wall (21 years old folks, and easily our best player. going to be very good, if not a superstar)
Booker (solid bench player)
Crawford (still young and talented. worth giving him some time to learn)
Mack (not a strong backup point yet, but will be)
Singleton (defense is pretty good, some shooting skill. Needs to improve but probably will)
Seraphin (good progress so far — let’s hope it continues)
Vesely (miles to go, but he’s young, tall, and seems to have a good attitude)
Goners:
Blatche (amnesty — use it or lose it!)
Lewis (buyout has been planned since the trade)
McGee (trade this guy now & get something in return, because he’s not going to be worth re-signing)
Turiaf (his choice, not ours)
Young (see Turiaf and/or McGee)
Mason (shooter who can’t shoot)
I agree about the definete goners. I'd say lets focus on Wall, McGee (re-signing him) and our 2012 stud
and see what we can get for Crawford, Booker, Singleton, Vesely, Mack, Seraphin and the expiring corpse of Lewis’ contract.
Ideally we’d keep Booker and maybe Singleton but if we should go away from 8+ youngsters on our roster imho.
