GT - Spurs vs. Wizards (11/26/12 @ 7pm)

[hands11]

Cartier Martin playing himself to China.

1-8 and 0-4 from 3.

28 years old and your job is to be a shooter.

That is terrible. How did they not resign Mason instead. Terrible move by Ted and EG.

How do you do that move when you have a 19 year old rookie and Crawford as your other SGs.

Can we please start Webster already at SG. Cut Martin and bring in someone who can shoot.

The difference between the Nets, Nuggets and Wizards is that Washington counted on those guys to be franchise cornerstones when they were never cut out to be more than role players.

We've talked about the culture of entitlement ad nauseum, and McGee, Blatche and Young are the poster children of too much too soon.

Karl is trying to put the genie back in the bottle in Denver, and Blatche has finally been shamed enough to take to coaching, and is approaching the effort required to be a professional athlete in this league.

This post, above, is a 100% demonstration of missing the forest for the trees.

You can't be on this site complaining about Cartier "bench" Martin as if *he* is the problem with this team, can you? The problem is the *roster*. And who is responsible for this abomination of a roster?

#FireErnie

P.S. Complaining about Cartier Martin is like Mrs. Lincoln complaining about the view of the stage.

Far from it. Its just the icing on the cake. Player that has no upside at a position of weakness that can't even do the one thing he is supposed to be good at instead of a player like Mason who wanted to be here. Was rumored to have an inside track to the front office. Who can indeed hit a 3. That was my point.

I can at least follow the Trevor A and Okafor move for Lewis because Ted didn't want to spend the dead money.

I can understand keep young players who have upside.

But Martin ? Kid has no heart. Mason would have been a way better choice. Specially since the team lacks outside shooters.

[queridiculo]

You're just a relentless contrarian aren't you hands11?

Roger Mason, are you **** kidding me?

[truwizfan4evr]

When wizards signed martin half the people on this board was happy with it. Not defending him in anyway but he's another guy who missing John Wall.

Martin has always been a streak shooter. Ever since his tenure here, he's always had games where he'd be completely on fire, and then would become ice cold the very next game.

The fact that Martin is even entering the conversation is a complete joke.

The Wizards are 0-12.

And how much of that 0-12 belongs to Cartier "bench" Martin?

I think I made my point.

But hay, we could always be talking about not having Mack and what a big issue that is.

Yes, you made your point and continue to make it. Though you don't see the point you're making.

Parallel: Looks like the Blazers may go down tonight to the Pistons. It must be Nolan Smith's fault.

Hands, we were down by over 20 points tonight before Cartier Martin saw the floor. If you think he's any part of this team's problem, you really don't have a clue.

[TGW]

Roger Mason would have made the difference tonight guys. You're an idiot if you don't see this.

[payitforward]

But hay, we could always be talking about not having Mack and what a big issue that is.

Yes, we could. We could be talking about taking a guy high in round 2 of the 2011 draft, then cutting him before the 2012 season.

We could point out that no other team has cut its 2011 round 2 pick. Only the Wizards.

We could talk about the 10-12 guys taken after Mack who are rotation players on better teams than the Wizards.

We could even talk about cutting him in order to make room for the detestable Jannero Pargo.

Or about cutting Jannero Pargo to make room for that paragon of point guard play, Shaun Livingston (averaged 4.5 assists per 40 minutes last year, or did you not know that?).

Or we could talk about how Randy Wittman could have won the game tonight if only he'd known what you know, Hands, about who should be on the floor when.

But what we *are* talking about is your pointless post about Cartier Martin.

[DANNYLANDOVER]

I have a question. When are the Wizards going to become a relevant part of the NBA? Look at the Nets and the Clippers? 2 teams that used to be as bad as we are. Maybe, this team should move to another city and start all over. Most people in DC do not even associate with the Wizards anymore. I'm 23 and I don't have any Wizards friends smh.

[queridiculo]

Roger Mason would have made the difference tonight guys. You're an idiot if you don't see this.

I have it on good authority that Cartier Martin was subbed in for the express purpose of going 8 for 8 from 3-point land tonight.

When Martin didn't follow through with this crucial part of the game plan the players around him were understandably upset and discouraged.

Roger Mason is a team player with front office ambitions, you think he would have ignored his coaches instructions? Think again!
