Can we get Jordan "Chuck it" Crawford out of the game...like forever at the PG position?

And he doesn't know what "defense" is.


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


He's a good offensive player, but he's out of shape, so he doesn't have the agility to pull off his post moves as easily right now. That's why I think he's been floating around the perimeter lately.

What pisses me off about him is that he has TERRIBLE effort and doesn't play any defense. Dude is a terrible help defender, will often not contest shots, and barely tries to jump for rebounds.

+1 Now I see why ATL used him as a throw-in, no-way I'd offer him a contract.

McGee in particular is playing some inspired ball.


Agreed, and the major difference is all of then are playing within themselves despite the complete lack of competent coaching.

McGee is getting by on the obvious work he put in during the lockout. Singleton is just a heady player, as is Booker.

Flip is AWFUL.

It'd be nice if our top 3 guards shot better than 1 for 15.

I think game # 10 is when Flip gets cannned. Do we have a dead poll on that?

No see he's confident, and has swagger and look you can't expect to win any basketball by caring about things like efficiency numbers you horrible little nerd.

Blatche immediately follows a nice finesse post move with utter, unacceptable embarrassment.

It's like once he gets stuck in a post move and the defender doesn't bite, he's incapable of saying to himself, "Alright, Andray, it's ok. You can just kick it out and repost or set a pick. You don't HAVE to take this shot."

Crawford + Blatche together on the court = a lot of chucking.

JaVale has been the best player so far. He doesn't really have the lower body strength to contain Dwight, but he's been shwoing off some good offensive moves, and has at least been giving good effort on D.

Blatche sucks the energy from the team with his laziness, Crawford is a chucker, and no one on the team can shoot.

In Blatche's defense, he was busy in the offseason working on his singing and put out an impressive album under the name Andraya Blatchelli.

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.......


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.


+1 on this as-well. Ernie being the suck-up that he is just doing what he thinks Ted wants...that's why he won't be fired.

Seeing him box out Howard, then draw a charge on him, and then post him up for a score in quick succession... :-o

I just love watching Crawford chuck up a 3 from well behind the line with 20 seconds left on the clock.

From now-on Crawford must be referred-to as Chuck.

Yeah, I'm beginning to think Atlanta won that Hinrich deal by simply getting rid of Jordan. I've seen better shot selection from grade school kids.
