Despite all of that garbage at the end, we would have won the game with ease had Jamison not played like a complete bitch yet again. It's like Groundhog's Day seeing him brick shots every single game and hearing Buck & Phil say that AJ has good looks but he just can't knock 'em down. I almost threw my remote at my TV when they played the clip of Jamison saying how the young guys don't realize the importance of these games and they need to play better. What a **** idiot. Jamison is the single biggest person other than EJ that is losing us all of these games.

You guys are a laugh riot. EJ blows? Gimme an F-ing break. He didn't miss those clutch foul shots in the 4th, he didn't miss the three-point shots like AJ did, he didn't walk consistenly like Haywood did. WTF. If you are looking for a goat, it's Jamison. I'm all for this guy coming back next year but at 1/2 the price. Great players are supposed to carry the team in the 4th quarter, and who kept them in the game tonight? Songaila. Not Jamison.
what sucks is that organization won't go the extra mile to win. We won't even attempt to pick up guys like Brent Barry or Magloire, veterans that can help off the bench, even if just on the practice floor.
It's time for Caron to suck it up and get back out there, because this team is horrible.

We have to be the worst team in the frickin' NBA!! I am embarrassed to be a fan of this team. I bet other teams actually laugh when they see us on the schedule. This game, the Knicks game, and the Golden State games just solidifies us as the worst team in the NBA!! Minnesota would beat us right now. Sure, we're hurting with Caron out, but when you need your coach to do some real coaching...and when you need your team leader to be THE leader, the MAN.....what do we get? We get a coach who draws up a play that....hey, maybe he was trying to fool Cleveland.....well guess what?...our coach was the real fool. I like DS but that call was BS! Should have posted Songalia, there was time!!.....This is really when your best player should be BEGGING for the ball. Jamison should have been screaming at EJ to put the ball in his hands, and put the game on his shoulders. We SUCK!! I'm embarrassed.

your a **** laugh riot if you dont think this one is on EJ. You EJ lovers are out of your mind if you cant see his inability to coach late in games. We've been blowing fourth quarter leads over the past 10 games consistently.
When the **** will you guys actually admit defeat to your constant praise of him. He blows. He stinks and this team will choke when it matters as long as hes the coach.

The way Jamison's been playing, he doesn't even deserve to sniff the ball in that situation. The hottest player should take the last shot. It may be an abomination, but Song was our best player.

Tell that lame story to someone as clueless as you are. We aren't buying it.

This was a complete team loss, including EJ. The team played with no energy until the 4th quarter, Jamison was horrible, the bench (absent Sangalia) brought us zip once again, we missed a lot of free throws, our defense was putrid, and finally E.J.'s coaching was horrible. The play at the end was just frickin' putrid and E.J.'s refusal to post up Blatche on Brown was just unforgivable. I'm blaming the loss on everyone. This team is really, really bad right now. I don't even want to watch them until at least Caron comes back, because without him, this team has no heart.

That's right, sit on your butt in front of the TV and blame it on AJ, a guy who has been busting his butt all season long, including tonight, trying to help this team win. Unbelievable.
Why is AJ becoming Juan Dixon/Arvis Hayes shot jacking fool? How many early shot clock shots are we going to see? Abe's loyal crap didn't allow EG to trade Jamison. His loyal crap is prventing firing EJ. Abe's the posion that has prevented our team from doing anything for 30 years.

If Jamison stopped acting like a lil *****, then maybe he would of been the leader we needed out there in the 4th. He was actin like a child all game- asking for fouls to be called and slapping his hands and crap....not hustlin back on D. Very bad night for Twan but the Wiz have no leadership and no leadership will make it hard for a team to win games.

What is unbelievable is how **** he is playing. He called out the rookies but AJ himself is just not getting it done. At first I thought it was a cold streak but he hasn't been worth a damn in several weeks. You are blind if you don't see how crappy he is playing. 6/17 from the floor tonight. Sure is awesome isn't it?

I've got a couple of comments:
Why can't EJ settle on a regular rotation? He left Haywood on the floor for the first 19 minutes of the 2nd half. Z sat down at the 3-minute mark in the 3rd. EJ rode Haywood throughout the 3rd and then halfway through the 4th until Haywood was dog tired. EJ finally sits Haywood and then realizes that he has no one who can handle Z. Haywood sits for 1:20 and EJ has to put him back in again. (I don't think it had much bearing on the outcome, but it's just an annoying thing that EJ does. What other NBA coach plays a 7-1 275 pound player for 19 consecutive minutes?)
Songaila had a very nice game. Part of it was that he was defended by smaller players, but hopefully, this is the beginning of him breaking out of his season long slump. We need him.
The refs were lousy tonight. I don't think they were particularly one-sided, but they made a lot of bad calls. They called Haywood for traveling on two post up plays when he made a simple drop step move. Any other player doesn't get called for a travel on that move, but because Haywood is 7 feet tall and awkward, he gets the whistle.
Our rebounding was terribl. Haywood played 41 minutes and grabbed just 3 boards. Stevenson played 41 minutes and grabbed 2. McGuire played 9 minutes and grabbed 0. We had a total of 3 offensive boards on a night where we had a size advantage at every position.
The defense was awful. How hard is it to stop just two players? Damon Jones was WIDE FREAKIN OPEN all game long. I can live with it in the first half, but sooner or later, you have to adjust. Play box and one. Go zone. Do something to stop Lebron and Jones. Cleveland had self check Eric Snow out there. Why couldn't we double off of him?
If AD shoots a layup rather than going for the dunk at halftime, we would have won the game.
