And the funny thing about it... I can't even point out something we did wrong tonight (except for that last play)... It's like we indeed invent ways to lose...

EDIT: Never mind, I remember some stuff... :nonono:

Exactly.

There's a screen? DON'T RUN THROUGH IT!!!!

There's a physical offensive player trying to get open? LET HIM!!!!!

Idiots, all of them.

It's hard to understand why we're this bad.

How can we with this roster be worse than the team of two years ago or the team of four years ago?

Butler doesn't fit in this offense at all. Blatche still needs to start even when Jamison gets back.

Time to Can Ernie Grunfeld...We all knew that even healthy that this team couldnt win and he trades a lottery pick for 2 okay players and probably set us back another few years.

Ernie is Vinny Cerato lite

F-the draft. I know it's early, but time to think about unloading Caron or if you aren't going to re-sign Miller, than trade him before the deadline. I know it's sacrilege but logical. McGee and Young are wastes of space right now. Javale needs to go to a big man camp or something. And it's taken Blatche five years to finally become a player. Not looking good for EG right now.

Permanently bench Desuck and trade Caron. It seems like Caron doesn't fit in with what this team is trying (and failing) to do.

According to them we're going to have the #6 and draft somebody named "Terrico White"

Sound good to me!

When your top-2 scorers are Earl Boykins and Mike Miller, you're going to lose. Arenas may have had a decent overall game but he needs to score, plain and simple. When Gilbert isn't scoring, we're not winning.

Caron Butler needs to get his head out of his ass.

This may be one of the most frustrating seasons in Wizards history (not because of the record but because of the expectations).

I'm about ready to panic.

It's time to seriously consider trading Butler. He's our only valuable trade commodity who is likely to bring back a player who can improve this team immediately.

Butler for Kevin Martin
Butler for Battier + Lowry

Something to shake this team up.

EG continues to build this team around an aging big 3 that cant stay healthy. Get a clue...you are suppose to be a saavy veteran GM. How dare you not get another 1st rounder when you traded your 5th overall....a trade which you never should of made by the way.

We have God Awful GM's in this town..Vinny,Bowden, EG

If Foye was healthy, DeStink wouldn't play but if Young could do anything right, you could get rid of that bum.

Oh, and last thing - another round of applause to DeBrick for shutting down the Detroit perimeter players. He sure isn't overrated on defense at all.

How bad is Young!?

I was on the phone w/ my dad; he was screaming "don't put DeShawn in!!!" I'm thinking: "well, I don't like DeShawn, but Miller has 5 fouls. DeShawn ain't clutch, but all he has to do is foul."

...

Afterwards, my dad and I got into a huge argument.
