If Flush Tap had any balls he'd take one for the team and put in OPEC.

Look at that...Crittenton drives the lane and kicks to Jamison who swings it to Young for a wide open 3. The exact same play that burns the Wiz 14 times a night, but we have been unable to execute since Gil went out, because we didn't have a guard that drive the lane.

Tankscott cannot be serious about Mike James being ahead of Crittenton on the depth chart.

so juan plays a good game than gets pullled for mike james stupid ass, wow tapscott is an idiot. i dont understand his phlosiphy. not only is juan a better shooter and fouls hooter but is younger n has more heart.

Kevin Martin has tanked like a pro in the 4th quarter. It will be hard to catch Sacramento if we have two more wins than them with 15 to play (assuming the Wizards win this game).

We tanked hard for this loss, only to be screwed by astute and accurate officiating. How depressingly ironic.

M-fer Martin finishes a heroic tank of a quarter.

McGuire with another big game...

5pts, 9ast, 8reb, 3 blk, 1 stl....

we win without caron butler. i think its because hes a terrible ball hog and we play more as a team w/o him. all we gotta do next is get rid of jamison and we have a team. not a losing scoring duo. anyone can score 20 ppg if they jack up 25 shots like jamison and butler do

I love Butler as a second option with Arenas to create, but without Arenas, CB is a black hole.

That was not a game I particularly wanted to win, especially not in that fashion.

OMG our post-game announcers are HORRIBLE.

"Antawn Jamison, statistically, can match up against anyone who's anyone in this league. Statistically, he's right there with the LeBron's, the Kobe's..."

(Paraphrased)

Are you friggin kidding me? There's being a fan, there's being a homer, and then there's being a moron.

Yeah, dump Butler and Jamison and we'd dominate. :roll:

I'm really losing patience with the Jamison bashing. Jamison happens to be having the best season of his career. Opposing teams are loading up on him every night yet he responds by posting the highest PER, the highest offensive rating and second-highest per-minute scoring average of his career (ignoring the Dallas season when he was a 6th man).

I can understand wanting to trade him for salary and age reasons, but it's pretty damn hard to bash his play. The man is producing every night with remarkable consistency.

The Jamison bashing from some of us stems, I believe, from his constant whiny harping about the young guys as if he has five rings. Jamison plays hard and is a professional, but he's also faux when it comes to being a complete player. He's faux when he says all the right things so smoothly and then goes out and gives up nearly as much as he gets. He's like a sugary breakfast cereal with empty calories and no fiber. He and Caron act like they're all-stars and then they passively aggressively pout when they can't manage more than 16 wins out of 67 games and throw the young guys under the bus at every opportunity.

I don't hate Jamison...I hate his game.

beretta90 · Post #37 » by **beretta90** » Mon Mar 16, 2009 1:28 am

if the coach would limit jamison and butler to 12 shots a game tops unless there on we'd win more and when everyone is getting touches we play better. jamison and butler take rediculous shots alot of the time that make no sense. nick youg is also starting to shoot too much. he is a good shooter but when u take smarter shots the team will play better. i would also like to say 1 thing i am happy about is stevenson being hurt cuz he is absoultely terrible n should be waived. my honest opinion is he is the worst guard on the team by far. common arenas!

I can totally co-sign on this, except for the fact that Jamison has never acknowledged (as far as I know) his shortcomings on the defensive end. He doesn't take responsibility for his play, but hides behind that attractive smile and warm relationship with the media. I could live with that, but then he compounds that with pointing the finger at his young teammates. Well Mr. Jamison, take the plank out of your own eye before pointing out the specks in the eyes of your young teammates.

Ben, I happen to agree with AJ.

What if the young guys did what he said? He is leading by example.

If I was GM I'd get him some new players if things did not change.

11th in PPG @ 21.9 and 6th in Double/Double 33 who is going to replace him?

The guy is getting it done night in and night out.

A minor co-sign, Caron's current game is just a reflection of years of bad coaching under EFJ & now Tap.
The "vets" pretty-much get to do whatever they want. You would never see Caron's shot-jacking play with a team like the Spurs, he would get hook but-fast until he learned to play team-ball.
