worst ref in the league - it's unfortunate
I'm sure they could find some women refs who could
do a good job but she shouldn't be their quota hire.

Surprisingly yes, Jordan Crawford is playing much better lately (he's still the most selfish player on this team).

she was out of the league last year, wasn't she? What happened?
I often think she's the worst, but then I wonder whether I'm holding her to a different standard, and she's merely among the worst.

I thought we drafted Singleton because he could play great defense and guard like 4 positions?

His failures, born of low effort, are not as costly as some of the 1st & 2nd years' mistakes, born of low experience. Blatche's on/off numbers are not bad -- the only players with horrific on-off numbers are Wall, McGee, Lewis, and Crawford. That doesn't mean much given the roster and the point in the season, but it's suggestive.
I just don't care so much about winning right now, especially if it comes at the expense of player development. We need to get a few mentor-type veterans, ditch the morons, and develop the youngsters. Extended minutes for Blatche doesn't accomplish any of that.
I don't think extended minutes for Blatche will materially affect his trade value. He's been in the league for seven years. He's been playing long minutes for a couple of seasons. He's a known commodity to GMs, and they'll offere what they'll offer even if he's benched and doesn't play another minute before March 15.
Again, I think the problem is probably that Saunders realizes that his job is in jeopardy, and is playing they guys who give us the best possibility of winning in the hopes ofmaintaining his gainful employment. That's pure speculation, and if someone with more insight into the organization would like to correct me, go for it. But I can't fathom why Blatche would see floor time otherwise, given that his fate seams sealed (trade = inevitable). If Flip really does need a few OKC type wins to maintain his job, then the problem lies with Grunfeld and ownership. They should be evaluating Flip on player development, not victories.
