:clap: I agree LSBF. My starters would be:

Boykins, Young, Miller, Blatche & Wood


I'd have Boykins, Young, Jamison, Blatche, and Wood.

When Miller comes back I'd fire up a Caron deal. I'd also be monitoring Brand in Philly because Jamison can go as well.

I'd give Gil 2 weeks to go get with Grover, TD Jakes, Tony Robbins, or to just sit back and chill. Dude's head is not in the right place and I'd like to get him checked out head to toe as well.

Flip's not the best coach for this team. He's a better coach than EJ but not better for these guys (except for Blatche and Wood).
Tre Johnson is the future of the Wizards.

It would be an over-reaction to bench GA and AJ. It's a long season guys...let's not panic after 20 or so games. Let's give Miller a chance to get healthy, huh. So we can see what this team really looks like. Did Miller and AJ even play more than 2-3 games together?

+1

you don't bench this/these guy(s) right now;
but you do put them on a shorter leash in games
where the production isn't happening. Flip's already
done that with Gil. He should show greater willingness
to do that with both AJ and Caron when it is called
for. I wouldn't be surprised if he did just that.

7DD should get more minutes now and continue
to do so even when MM comes back.
A lot of what we call 'thought' is just mental activity

When you are accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression

Those who are convinced of absurdities, can be convinced to commit atrocities

At what point though can we stop saying "Oh, it's still early, there's a lot of season left"? We're already a quarter done. By the time Miller gets back, it'll be closer to 35-40% wrapped up. We could be say 11-19 when he returns, at which point, just to finish at .500, we'd have go close out the last fifty games at 30-22. Not impossible I suppose, but I hope nobody is holding their breath.

Not saying we should necessarily bench the entire big three, but if Flip feels like doing something drastic, I don't think it's too early to do so.
