F***

Oh we didnt need Marshall or Shannon Brown, WTF EG and Witt you moron why play him 40+mpg you piece of sludge.

Plus hearing on 106.7 it sounds like it 2 weeks out then re-evaluation which in Wizards terms means 2 weeks then re-evaluate then shutdown for the season.

Now I want to tank but I think EG will just get another injury excuse and receive another extension

You can make a case for Brown, but even he isn't very good or helpful. Just moderately better than Maynor who's just outright terrible.

You can't make a case for Marshall though. The guy wasn't an NBA player. Broken jumper, slow afoot. Couldn't break down defenses, couldn't defend anyone. In other words, he's Eric Maynor without the experience.

I guess the silver lining here is that, despite the gaudy raw stats, Beal isn't really having a great year. His PER is below 14 and he's had more than a few god-awful games. His defense has been alright but I don't see this greatly affecting the team.

I know Dat I know, Im just really hurt after the destruction that I saw last night to the Skins and now to hear this and Im still hungover it just hurts. Why does Ernie still have a job? Is he keeping Ted's money safe hostage???

Agreed that Beal hasn't been playing all that well. Where it hurts is the increased playing time for even less productive players. Temple and/or Maynor figure to get more minutes, and both those are subpar.

I was thinking today that Beal's offensive game has been very similar to Nick Young's. He takes spot up 3s or long 2s, rarely getting to the basket or foul line. The only real difference is that Beal is a better passer.

Beal out for two weeks, it's gonna end up being more like two months with this training staff and franchise's history with injured players' timetables.

Dat2U · Post #228 » by **Dat2U** » Tue Nov 26, 2013 5:15 pm

So he gets evaluated in two weeks? I think it might be a while guys. In other words, 2-3 weeks.

The good news, Ernie & Witt can't run him into the ground anymore, at least for now. We honestly may have dodged a bullet that it wasn't something with long term implications.

It's only a matter of time before Nene goes down as well.

Tough tough loss. Really hope its only for 2 weeks and not any more. And Im in town this week and was gonna go to a game this weekend.... was lookin forward to seeing Wall/Beal combo in person.

Damn Shannon Brown and Kendall Marshall would sure look nice right about now.... Maybe theres still time to grab one of them ?

Jan Vesely at SG?

Dang, EG's construction of the roster just keeps looking worse and worse. Any NBA team should be able to withstand the loss of a single player for a short period of time. It's called depth.

You may not be as good, but you ought to be able to tread water if, say, you had someone, anyone, on the roster beside Beal who is in any way, shape or form a legitimate two guard.

perhaps not surprisingly, the email I got just a few minutes ago from
the Wizards re PreGame notes for tonight says nothing about the
likely absence of Beal. It still lists him as a starter.

Beal leads the NBA in minutes played at 40.2 per game

Mike Lee^. Yeah, we're #1 at something

Losing Beal hurts cause we basically have an 8 man bench again. Hopefully randy wises up and gives gr Jr a chance. Start glen, bring temple as backup pg with Webster. Give Booker some burn with Jan. Nene can't be rub into the ground either.

Beal should use this opportunity to study film well. He has the ability and showed it in the preaseason to play rediculously well. He needs to get back to playing cerebrally. And most importantly, drink some cot dayum milk.

Beal: "I’ve been playing non-stop...playing a lot of minutes, so that constant stress & that pounding on my leg has been influential."

Well, I guess the silver lining is that Beal's injury doesn't appear too serious and comes at a time where our schedule is relatively easy. However, with the Wiz announcing that he will be "evaluated" after 2 weeks, my guess is that we are looking at probably a month before he is back, if we are lucky. I have come to expect crap like this happening. Whenever things are starting to go well as a Wizards fan, you know a dark cloud is coming over the horizon.

WallToWall · Post #236 » by **WallToWall** » Tue Nov 26, 2013 6:06 pm

Problem here is that we dont have anybody worth a darn as backups. Rice isnt ready to be trusted by the coach to spell Beal for 10 mins/game. We are forced to play our good players 40mins/game. I do agree that the team appears very disfunctional when there is a preceived breakdown in communication between the player, coach, and crack medical staff.
Anyway, leading the league in avg mins per game isnt a stat we want any our players to have, even if he's a good player.
As far as this injury goes, its hard to say if it could havew been avoided. As a runner, I know that if I over-train, I do stand a bigger chance to get injured. So I tend to increase mileage very methodically. I am no atheletic specimen like these guys, but I would think the same applies. You train to the point that you can handle to load. The coach, player, and trainers should know those limits. Beal will be out more than 2 weeks...hopefully he isnt rushed back.

Absurd. You do realize this is the Wizards medical staff we're talking about, right? If Beal is out the Wizards will have FIVE players on the injured list.

Everywhere else, a hip flexor takes a few weeks. With the Wizards, it takes 6 months to heal. This is yet another reoccurring injury that this medical staff is responsible for.

Guess it wasn't obvious that was sarcasm.. I wouldn't be surprised if Beal is still out a month from now with "no timetable"

Let's be real, Beal will back sometime mid January to early February.

Brapman · Post #240 » by **Brapman** » Tue Nov 26, 2013 6:40 pm

Pistons fan. Very tough luck with Beal.

I'd be worried that it's an injury to his same leg that caused him to miss a ton of time last season. It's not a good sign that a young guy's frame isn't handling the rigors of being an NBA player so far.

He and Wall have to develop into stars for you guys to have much of a future. So far, that's not happening. Wall isn't playing/performing at an elite or even great level, and Beal, my favorite young SG in the league (If I got to pick one of the young guns at SG - I guess aside from Harden and George if he plays that position - I pick Beal. Now I'm not sure) aren't exactly filling anyone with confidence that they'll become dominant.
