Finally Crawford at PG and the team responds.. Hopefully Randy either learned something or has no other choice. And like magic, the dead Kevin came to life. Then Martin stepped in to follow.

Crawford was always there best choice at PG. Not sure why Randy had to stumble into this instead of choosing it.

Hopefully Price is hurt enough that we can finally add Livingston as well.

This team can't play with all role players and no PG to lead them. At least Crawford has a shot at filling those shoes. Price can't.. Pargo can't.

Tanking.

No C Martin as a starter?

Lol clearly this is a taking season.

Why do you all not see this? Hey pulling a 2011-12 bobcat.

Tanking? Again? They've been tanking for the last 5 years. lol.

The last few drafts didn't have the talent to get this team back to the playoffs. Last draft NBA had to give to NO.
But the Wizards did the big trade with the NO as well, to assist them. In return the NBA is giving the Wizard's the #1 pick.

Call me a conspiracy theorist if you like. Notice this game how the refs don't give the Wizard's same amount of calls.

It's because they are meant to lose.

I would have liked the number 1 pick for next year.
Maybe get both Wiggens and Parker. That would be a beast!!!!

Heres an interesting stat, Jan Vesely through 7 games: 17pts and 21 personal fouls

0-6 to start the season. We're at home for Utah followed by Indiana, then away at the Hawks, then back home to face Charlotte.

I have a feeling we will get one of those, but if we go 0-10, don't rush back Wall and Nene. Tank your time.... I mean take your time.

I'm gonna watch some Shabazz highlights.

Crawford looked comically bad at point guard, Hands. He couldn't dribble and couldn't pass, much less initiate the offense. The Mavs announcers were rightly laughing at him. He's a bad SG, but a far worse PG.

I'd really like to see Seraphin and Okafor on the court at the same time. And I'd really like to have a bona fide PG on the active roster. I miss Mack.

Jan just a tall guy who happen to make the nba. I don't even think he's is athletic as he was last year a few games in preseason what's going on with this guy?

TruWizFan4ever, I think you are being a little hasty here. Jan has actually never played basketball before, you have to give him time to adjust and learn the fundamentals.

Yes this is how I saw it as well. Cartier and Seraphin were the only reasons this game was even close.

He made no progress in fact he looks worst then he did last season.

Maybe they should have kept the Janchise on the wing instead of trying to bulk him up to play PF/C. Just focus on his shooting and dribbling instead.

The Wizards organisation has probably ruined his career at this point.

Pargo and Ves both suck, no doubt. Amazingly, Pargo had Cartier wide open in the corner for a three. Instead of giving the ball to the hot hand, he faked the pass to him and instead took a contested 3 pointer. I don't know why Ves was even in the game. He can never hold his position, especially against bigger guys and that foul on Kaman was just, well, girlish. But, I'm not going to blame the loss solely on Ves and Pargo when the rest of the team put the team in such a big hole.

Seraphin played great at the end. However, where was that the rest of the game? He is also partly the blame for the Wiz being in such a big hole because his defense and offense sucked until the 4th quarter.

This team sucks, plain and simple. Its a shame because they at least try. Its just that the talent is not there...thanks to Ernie.

We are the worst team at developing players. Even kemba Walker who struggle his first year is coming back strong his second year. The bobcats was the worst team in nba history percentage wise.

Jan has played wing for years and has presumably focused on his shooting and dribbling the whole time. Problem is, he can't shoot or dribble. He either has to bulk up (while maintaining athleticism) or quit the league. He absolutely does not have the skills to handle the SF position.

If he was good enough on the wing in Euroleague to get noticed by NBA scouts and go top 10 in the draft, why not continue to focus on the aspects of the game that make wing players good instead of trying to turn him into a completely different player?

llcc25 · Post #137 » by **llcc25** » Thu Nov 15, 2012 4:27 am

I thought Vesely was supposed to be the second coming of Kirilenko? I'd even settle for a poor man's version of Kirilenko at this point.....btw- tonight Kirilenko had 26 and 12 against CHA and almost singlehandedly brought them back to victory.

dangermouse · Post #138 » by **dangermouse** » Thu Nov 15, 2012 4:29 am

Well, if we want him to be a PF/C he's going to have to hit the juice and hit the d-league for a while.

I curious if he was on another other NBA team's top 10 board or if Ernie was the only guy that wanted him that high...

I'm starting to have league pass buyers remorse......
