Nice to see Gilbert on the sidelines, in a suit, making 111million over the next 6 years.

This team is screwed for a long time because I doubt he'll ever be the same player.

Crittenton = turnover machine, thus far.

McGee

Young
Dixon

I couldn't agree with you more.

Crittenton looks very tentative for sure.

Need to morph Mike James' shotjacking brain and overconfidence into Crittenton.

Relax man...Gil can't help the fact that he got hurt.

And I'm giving the Wiz the benefit of the doubt that he will recover.

It's not like he tore up his whole knee or anything.

I know he never scored and wasn't the best defender, but this game is making me miss AD. Mike James...not good and it isn't like we shed any cap by getting him, right?

This is awful guys. There is a whole crowd of Boston turds cheering on Brian Scabby to shoot the ball that are louder than anyone else in the arena.

Oh, I never said it was a bad thing. He's quite smart.

Worst lost of the season, after closing to 10 with 13 minutes left.

This team is horribly coached.

Caron Butler is one of the most overrated players in the league, because some people think he can defend.

Ernie Grunfeld has to have a sick feeling after watching James endear himself...NOT...to his new teammates. Veteran leader? No. Shot jacker? Yes. And Crittenton looked ... terrible.

Just great ...

Uh, Crittenton.

That was less than an impressive debut.

It is sickening that he is collecting that money when we haven't seen him play for an extensive period of time in what feels like two years. It is sickening that he is collecting that money when we have made it out of the first round once since he came here and he has no aspirations to lead and lead by example. That means inspiring your fellow players to play D, not inspiring them to be practical-joking-shot-jackers. With that said, I miss him because anything's better than watching this. :lol:

J-Critt played what 6 or 7 minutes? I won't get on his case until I seem him play against some equal talent although he does turn the ball over a lot.

Heck, watching this cr@p, I miss Ledell Eackles.

good game. We had excellent man on man defense from our allstars...on one side of the court. It would be nice if grunfeld actually brought more players in theat were good on both sides of the ball.

I'd rather watch Rod Strickland eat hot dogs on the bench than Ed Tapscott give guys like DeShawn Stevenson and Mike James burn over Nick Young.

i was talking to my friend a couple of days ago and he made a good point. Its not Gilberts fault he got offered that money. If we were offered that kind of money and we were hurt, we would sign in a heartbeat. Dont blame Gil..blame the checkwriter

You know this is worse than the years when their best big man was Charles Jones. Or when they had Mel Turpin or guys like AJ English or LaBradford Smith.

This team has "all stars" Jamison and Butler on it. It has three seven footers. Four with a healthy Haywood. It has Nick Young, who looked like a lottery talent and who used to be able to score prior to Tankscott. DeShawn has started umpteen hundred games in a row. Worse, you've got the grotto owner over there in a suit.

This team is a talented bunch of turds.

At least when they had Catledge and Eackles and Wes coaching them you knew nobody expected much and nobody was getting paid.

Ji · Post #138 » by Ji » Fri Dec 12, 2008 4:00 am

this is just awful....Jamison has to go while he still has value.

Wizardspride · Post #139 » by **Wizardspride** » Fri Dec 12, 2008 4:00 am

Anybody want to take my bet that Jamison won't finish the season as a Wizard?

I agree. Those teams were more fun to watch. They competed like heJJ for the first three quarters before the inevitable talent deficit, all-star deference by the refs and Wes Unseld boneheadedness doomed us in the 4th.

Shix like tonight makes me pretty gloomy indeed.
