That is a tad of an understatement. :lol:

I want Blatche off the team too but lets not act like were a Blatche subtraction away from being competitive. Blatche is a problem but honestly he's a minor issue.

I can't imagine this going on for much longer. Something has to give. Whether it's Flip, Ernie or both. We look historically bad right now.

Just turned on the game and down by 18. How was that not goaltending on D. Howard?

Going to be a long night...

All this other stuff (playing out of control, not finding teamates, body language, etc) is relatively insignificant to me. My big concern is that jumper.

His lack of jumper is only one my concerns watching him. We have virtually been blown out every game this season right from the beginning and at some point, he needs to take control of the offense and start making things happen. Just important PG duties such as understanding the tempo, executing a high pick n roll, reading the defense, being vocal in the sets, etc, i just haven't seen enough of it at this point. I know he's still a kid, but i saw more from cp3, Deron, an even Derrick Rose in their rookie years in terms of running an offense the way a PG should.

They must have switched to international rules without giving Flip the memo.

Deron, Paul and Rose had guys around them that didn't suck. Plus they could make jumpers which makes it tougher on the defense.

No one is better at extended garbage time than Nick Young.

The Max Power approach is appropriate in any setting and at all times.

Have you watched Deron Williams with Joizy this season? If there's nothing to work with, there's nothing you can do.

Flip needs to go... Ernie needs to go... I have been one of the more patient fans... but to show no type of improvement whatsoever is terrible.

A minor issue?? Blatche cost us the last game vs. the Celtics when he stopped contesting the C's 3's when we still had a chance to win. Dude's effort on the court, and his work ethic off the court is a atrocious and is the complete opposite of a role model.

And I'm not biased because I was probably Dray's biggest fan coming into this season, but I've obviously jumped off the bandwagon.

SWeraphion is ...still not ready. Ernire has done a good job clearing cap space.... I don't want him making another draft pick

Andray Blatche has an /actively negative/ effect on Wall, and needs to go.

Wall made another jumper. Not that often has he made 4 jumpers in a game.

MOrgil · Post #159 » by **MOrgil** » Thu Jan 5, 2012 1:39 am

It's one thing to lose competitively, but to lose every game by double digits... It's obvious that it's not working.

Seraphin lacks defensive awareness, but he has the lower body strength that JaVale doesn’t have to prevent Dwight from backing him down so easily.
