Wall hasn't been getting any help on the pick and rolls.

Booker simply hasn't been doing his job.


also, but he has also just been turning wall in circles

Meh, I am used to Witt-less being a bad coach, though


It's becoming obvious that Witt has to go for this team to take the next big step.


King- Agreed. I have been calling for George Karl for a long long time...
Sadly, Turd doesn't have the guts to make such a move

Neither does Ernie...



George Karl is the coach I want too. Or one of the Van Gundys

Randy is benefitting from an awful East.


WTF does Randy have to do with how soft our interior defense is? We don't have Emeka Okafor anymore. We have Nene and Gortat who are not rim protectors. Love is too big for Booker down low and Pekovic is too big for Gortat. Has about 40 pounds on him. Not sure what coaching has to do with that.

BTW. Randy should have gotten Beal and Wall out at the 6:00 mark when it was over.

The Wizards do not look like a playoff team to me. At least not a legitimate playoff team like Hawks of the past years when they were a guaranteed 2nd round exit... at least I think that's what the goal is here. But in the watered down East that just took on a little more water with Al Horford out indefinitely, the wiz could quite conceivably back their way into a 3 seed with 42 wins. and still probably lose to whoever they play against. The competition is historically bad, so it sounds like the type of environment Ernie & Randy can at least tread water in.

Yup, definitely turned his knee looking the replay.

Of course, just as I mention Beal, he f-ing gets hurt in a game where we're down 24 with 4 minutes left and he's in the game. Now THAT is Randy's fault. Nice job.

I just hope Otto doesnt become another Jan.

Otto needs to get some confidence going..

but I really dont know what to get him going. No ball handling, not a great shooter.....and he's not athletic enough to contribute in a MKG kinda way.

Probably have to look at this year like a Redshirt year for him. As good as the story was of him never playing AAU ball....it shows thats not always a good thing. He's not ready the grind of basketball physically or emotionally yet.

Heck, I'd rather have Shabaaz than Porter. At least Shabaaz can score and has an NBA body.

How'd I know? This team just isn't good enough to compete with even a mediocre Western Conference team.

Oh God. I was just about to complain about why Randy is leaving the starter out there when the game is over. Some one might get hurt.

Beal is down. :roll:

Please just hire him on the way back to DC.

JWiz-

Cannot see the game, but if this is true, let's hope it is nothing serious
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!

To be fair, I think Randy had guys at the scorers table ready to put them in. He was just waiting for a break in the action.

Eric "White Flag" Maynor in the game now.
