I like Sessions pushing the tempo. If he could just make those layups he could really ignite that second unit.

Agreed, probably time to light that fuse and blow the second unit up.

Clearly superior coaching by Wittman to get the most out of Sessions.

Could it be that Session has better talent around him, a better team with a better future which motivates better play?

LOL

Sessions is shooting 34% since he came here. Without Witt's coaching he would surely be shooting in the 20s.

I don't think any owner would fire a GM post 2 consecutive winning playoff seasons. Goes against not only business logic, but common sense.

You do know Ernie was fired from the Knicks FO after making the playoffs consecutive years in 1999, how bout Danny Ferry in Cleveland 2010. Dummy

How did it turn out for the Knicks post 1999? Cavaliers post 2010? How many playoffs did they dominate? Rings did they go on to win? The past 2 seasons, the Wizards total more wins than both of those teams you mentioned:

Wizards-90 wins
Cavaliers- 86 wins
Knicks- 54 wins

Well you posted who would fire a gm, both did after consecutive playoff seasons hence why I posted what I did. I could care less about wins after firing a gm usually when a GM is fired a rebuild/fire sale occurs so theres bound to be a season or 2 of losing. The Wiz have been through 3 rebuilds under Grunfeld (Post-Jordan, Post Gungate, Post Knuckleheads) and still nothing to show for it so why do I need to educate myself?

At the current rate of improvement, the Wizards will be title contenders in another 15-18 years. Grunfeld just needs more time.

You and a few others need to educate yourselves because you search for ways to discredit management even at times when it is not warranted.

You need to educate yourself because you fail to see over the past couple of years the Wizards have progressed, not regressed. If it was the other way around, then fine, fire the GM. But it's not.

You need to educate yourself because your main goal/agenda is to highlight the past moves of Jan Vesely/Mike Miller/Randy Foye, while ignoring the positive Nene/Wall/Beal/Humphries/Sessions current era.

Year over year 2.5% increase. I would say we are only 10 years away :)

The bolded are what I'd characterize as average players. They are acceptable but nothing to gloat about (maybe Beal in a couple seasons but the coaching staff EG has employed certainly hasn't ameliorated the process, Sessions also has been solid but I wanna see a full season out of him).

So if you think average is good....you probably aren't in the market for extenze >.>

Considering that we are up 2-0 against the 4th seed and dominated them in their home, the way we are playing we can take down any team in the East. How about potential title contenders in the next 2 months - 2 years? :nod:

Go away troll. I have never seen a fan message board where someone posts more about supporting the management then they do about the actual sport and team. Troll.
