Interior defense is beyond terrible but I think it's a bit unfair to just single out Blatche right at the moment. Anyone that's wearing a Wizards uni has been burned/abused/gotten lost more than once in the first quarter.

And the first quarter is a perfect example of why you don't pay someone like Nick Young. He's been terrible on both sides of the court.

Man I'm trying to watch this game, and I keep getting pissed off at everything Andre Blatche is doing. He's trying to catch in the post at 22 feet. STOP CALLING FOR THE BALL AND GET POSITION AT 12 FEET YOU BASTARD.

Painful, embarrassing and unacceptable.

There has to be some accountability. The point of a rebuild is not only to "rebuild" but see progress along the way.

This looks like a tear down, not a rebuild. We need some type of demand for accountability from Ted for the horrific job Grunfeld and Saunders are performing.

We stand idly by, Wall demands out this time next year........while Leonsis continues to preach the "benefits" of the process. This isn't hockey.......

It's like Orlando is playing a different sport than us.

We need to do what the Cavs are doing with Irving, playing Wall 20-30 min a night and have a vet PG on-board to bring Wall along more-slowly. That would help a little.

Right after I say it goes beyond Blatche he gives a less than enthusiastic effort on the defensive boards. Ugh

Not really sure why our team is so reluctant to pass the ball into McGee when he has perfect post-position. He's actually had success against Howard in the post, oddly enough.

Well yeah, but he's supposed to be an offensive player. And yet he's not.

Leonsis has failed to change the culture thus far. He seems too slow to react or make changes and too much of a nice guy who's willing to give anyone & everyone the benefit of the doubt. Incredibly disappointing so far as Wizards owner.

I'm beginning to hate Jordan Crawford. He's one of the worst shot jackers I've ever seen.

McGee, Singleton and Booker are the only competent players on our team tonight.

McGee in particular is playing some inspired ball.
