Shaun Livingston on the Wizards: "We're still so far from being a playoff-caliber team"

Randy Foye struggles, gets little playing time, is dumbfounded about it
Randy Foye always toes the line between honesty and loyalty to the coach during his post-game interview sessions. As his playing time has increased, so to have the words in his post-game answers. He talks a lot when he plays and says less when he doesn't. Regardless, Foye has always been the...
