Why Eddie Jordan Must Be Fired - Part dos

[hands11]

Similarly, a bias in favor of veterans over someone like McGuire could make you end up "500 miles off course" as well.

Songaila was terrible for a long stretch of the season until he found his game. McGuire was a huge disappointment, yet he had a couple tremendous games guarding Chris Paul. I also remember a game where he had 10 rebounds and most were spectacular. I think he should have been given many more opportunities with most of the starters in and Dominic might have paid of hugely at the season's end.

Dominic never got to find his game the way shooters Songaila and Mason Jr. did.

In addition to the coaching staff protecting the paint but at the same time opening the floodgates on the perimeter, this particular staff as a whole seemed to unilaterally stunt the first season growth of Young and McGuire to where neither played in the playoffs.

Why was it okay for the veterans to play lackadaisacally, at times get totally outplayed, but a rookie couldn't make a mistake in the playoffs?

Why invest so many regular season minutes in Young, even giving him shots with the game on the line back then only to sit him the entire playoffs?

Blatche was frozen out totally last playoffs and even this season I believe should have played a lot more with Haywood on the floor.

For the 1000th time..... drum roll pleaseeeee.

The answers never change. Nor does EFJ.

Yep EJ only believes in playing his "stars" for 40+ minutes and hoping for the best. Gilbert/AJ, or Caron has a hot game and carries us to a W then great. That's not coaching.

And has it ever been any different?

He should have been let go 2 years ago. I had seen enough by then.

Does anyone actually have a reason for wanting to replace Eddie or is it just for the sake of change? The anti-EJ posts with any reasoning is about 1/10. Who do you guys think would be a better coach for us? From the available choices, obviously.
Also, what did you expect from the team this year given all the injuries we had to our best players? If we had beaten Cleveland and lost to Boston, in say, 5 games, would that have made you happy? Or did you expect more, do you really think we were a better team than the Celtics? Did you think we should have been in the finals? What? IMO we overachieved as is (the 5 seed w/o Gil and Butler also missing however many games is pretty darn good no matter the conference) and did not have a lot of chemistry with Gilbert returning so late. I saw genuine improvement from EJ this year, maybe because ruffin and etan were gone, but hey, whatever works.

It really seems like a lot of you just think changing coaches is going to magically make us win more. No coach is going to the Eastern Conference Finals next year with a starting lineup of Daniels, Stevenson, Jamison, Blatche, and Haywood. Yeah it sucks that we aren't the best team in the league. This team will improve through the development of Blatche and Young, giving us the potential to have one of the top benches in the league to go with 3 all stars in the starting lineup. Stay healthy, draft well, don't panic, and the wins will come.

Lock this fools SN.

Read the threads before you post this nonsense.

I'm not an apologist. I'm assigning blame to the players. For instance, I don't know how you blame EJ for the Wizards not hitting open shots.

O God

Please stop.
