Ok, where are the Wizards fans... LOL..


Just me and the crickets so far.


Miller off to a hot start. Drays ankle looking better on that monster slam.

Lots of intrest in this thread, sorry Hands11

Dray's energy level is down again and he's settling for the J instead of blowing past there slow bigs like he did on that one play. Post up or take them to the hoop but dont do 2 dribbles and shoot a fadaway. He was playing perfect in the last few games before the ankle injury and now he's going back to that straight jump shooting guy who settles

Blatche and McGee combined for 1 rebound in the 1st quarter. That's hard to do.

Not for them apparently.

[dlts20]

Flip must be trying to send a message to Dray about his effort, rebounding, and settling. He looked like he was just out there to score this game and Flip's not having it. Time to put him back in now though

to be fair, Blatche didnt play much but he wasnt giving much effort when he was in and thats why he's out

Why does Al Thorton always seem to be in foul trouble? Is he playing to aggressive and getting dumb fouls or is he not aggressive enough and getting dumb fouls because he's getting beat off of the ball?

Im 50/50. I feel like recently there have been a ton of games where Blatche just seems like he has no pep and he's not even trying to rebound. Thats what I think is upsetting Flip. Then on O he was settling for those J's. I feel a little bad for Blatche though because I think he's somewhat fatigued with his big role, all the minutes, our crazy sked, all the tough teams, and all the doubles. I think he's wearing down some and trying to play in spurts but he does have to give out more energy. Sometimes it seems like he's walking while everyone else is moving like jets.

One weird thing is that I turned on the LAL game late and I didnt even see Blatche on the bench so I thought he was hurt and wasnt playing. It was halfway through the 1st then also but I just found out that he was benched and mustve been sitting way at the end or something. Tonight he gets benched quick again and again, I dont see him. Where the hell is he sitting? He must be mad and is sitting way at the end. I think he feels like the scapegoat again even though he's been playing great for many games while everyone else sucked. As soon as he has some off games then he gets made the example of

The Many Tales of Arenas

http://voices.washingtonpost.com/wizard ... etely.html




see some of that stuff is dumb to me though, in defense of Gil. Its the same thing I use to tell people about Vick. People went on & on about how the worst thing was that Vick lied to Goodell and I always said that Roger shouldve never put Vick in that position. What did you think Vick was going to do? He was trying to plead not guilty at the time so what is he supposed to tell Goodell that he fought & killed dogs but the next day go to court and plead not guilty?

Its the same thing with this. What did you expect, Gil not to lie? Everyone lies at 1st with something like this. He's trying to cover it up because even if it is a joke, alot of people can get in serious trouble. Thats why the stories switch so much and some of them are him actually trying to look out for Crittenton.

I just think its dumb when people talk about someone lying in situations like this or telling different stories. Ofcourse he's going to do that because he doesnt want to get suspended, he doesnt want Critt to get suspended, he doesnt want to go to jail, he doesnt want Critt to go to jail, he doesnt want the story to come out, and so on because like I said, even if its just a joke, you will still be in big trouble.

I also think its funny how cops & prosecuters jobs are to make you look bad but everyone takes there word in every situation. He's always going to try to make it look bad and he's always going to say that it wasnt a joke. Thats what they do, just like defense attorney's downplay things. I dont trust Kaveneaugh at all. I think he saw a big fish in Gil and wanted to take him down.

Dont automatically take this guys word for stuff just because of who he is. The whole system is designed to make you plea so they can say anything they want because they know Gil cant fight it and has to plea due to the fact that even if it was a joke, its still criminal

[dlts20]

Wow, is Singelton starting the 2nd half? Thats definitely messed up

[dlts20]

There must be a back story on Dray to why this is happening which Im sure will come out after the game but even still its not right what they are doing to him. Stop making him the scapegoat

[dlts20]

My thing is this. If you want to bench Dray or send a message then fine but dont pick & choose because he definitely wasnt benching AJ when he was playing the wrong way, being a black hole, having the worst shot selection in the league, and seemingly just tried to selfishly put up meaningless numbers. AJ played like that all year so why bench Dray when he does something just like once? Then people call Dray a headcase when he gets upset and then doesnt show up for treatment or whatever which I still believe him when he said that he asked for that for a week with no response. Its always his fault.

OK, if he's not doing something right then fine but he also had games where he was getting like 12-15 boards. He also just had a bad sprain which he played through and he's dead tired after carrying the team on his back through double teams. Cut the guy a break. You can bench him some & send a message but dont go overboard just because you can. I think he definitely got the point in the 1st half so why bench him for the 2nd? It makes no sense. Atleast give him a chance to redeem himself

[dlts20]

I also love how Flip loves to hold everyone accountable except himself. I havent heard him take any blame all year. He's been very subpar this year and his system has looked like crap for the most part. No wonder why his other teams start to tune him out. Look in the mirror Flip. Youve needed to be benched alot this year yourself

[supbro]

good luck guys, take them down

[no D in Hibachi]

Blatche is getting pwned by Flip. I bet Flip was irritated by Blatches "I'm underpaid" bit. Shoot if I was his coach I'd be ticked too. He's inconsistent and a non-factor for the whole season. Doesn't do anything to help turn it around with the rest of the team, but once everyone is gone he turns it up and they're massive losers. Now he's beating his chest that he's feeling not appreciated. Come on bro, 16 games or 4.5 years? Flip just saw that Dray wasn't puttin in effort to start the game and said fine, if that's how it's going to be screw you.
