Good thing guys that aren't going to be around in two years when Wall and Beal are ready to compete are getting the minutes and building the on-court chemistry. If we played Singleton more and let him develop, our record might suffer.

Wow the offense sucks, well the team sucks. Down the stretch 4 3-point shots by 3 poor 3-point shooters.

They're open threes. They just can't shoot.

Come on John, 1 on 3? Pass the f-ing ball

Knew I shouldn't have tuned in. See Wall is having a respectable game, but as soon as I turn in he has an idiotic turnover and then a flailing out of control layup.

You should tune in to Indiana vs Michigan!

Trey Burke is legit. Oladipo had the best missed dunk you'll ever see. This is one of the best NCAA games you will ever see. Cody Zeller is WAY BETTER than Alex Len (offensively).

The Wizards can get depressing.

Scored 58 points in 2nd half. Also helps not to have Duncan protecting the paint.

Well this is another feel good loss. We've got to above .500 if you add in our actual wins and moral victories together.

See what happens when you get rid of their best big man by putting in the goon.

Even though he's just one big, he's just slow and doesn't move we'll without the ball so the big that's guarding him just sits back.

The Wizards run died before Nene came in. As soon as Splitter came in (before Nene), the Spurs got two or three layups in a row to go back up by 12. Nene came in and played just fine. It was 2 turnovers by Wall and a bunch of bricked open 3s that did the Wizards in.

Small ball helped the Wiz get back in the game. I don't know if that would have worked as well if Duncan didn't go out with an injury.

Ultimately, the Wizards lost for the same reason they always lose...the inability to score when it counts.

Yeah, I have it on in the background while I'm studying. Zeller looks legit, I just can't think of a good NBA comparison and am still having difficulties seeing him being this effective at the next level.

That missed one handed oop was insane. Would have been among the craziest in game dunks of all time if he flushed that.

Martell Webster is the Wizards version of Bernard Pollard

Those missed OPEN 3's down the stretch were brutal.

dandridge, it always come down to the architect when a building collapses due to faulty design.

Why can't they score when it counts? Ariza, Okafor, injured Nene … those guys have the experience and they make the money. Ernie acquired them.

The jumper is looking better. The percentages dont prove it out yet but no ugly bricks on the misses either. By the end of the season I think the percentages will prove that out...his threes also didnt miss by much, unlike the ugly one versus Philly.

It would have been nice to have Beal out there for some of those corner 3s. Could have been a 15 assist night.

I'm done with Randy.

He really just has no clue about who to play with whom and when.

You can see what works. Its obvious. Stop feeding Nene in the post. It doesn't work. He is much better on high pick and roll plays where he is moving toward the baskets.

Finally Ves saw some minutes and you could see how he helped. Then you don't see him ago. Singleton comes in and totally beasts. But he never uses him either. Wall isolations work. He needs to do them a lot more. Etc. Etc. He would get close with some line ups but even then he would be a player off.

He never played a set that got Okafor in a rhythm and he has been a beast lastly. He doesn't take advantage of what Crawford can do.

Temple should never have started at SG and yet he still started him for the 2nd. He puts the team in a hole that is to big to overcome before stumbling into something that works. And then he puts Nene back in.

He just doesn't understand what is a good line up where the players compliment each other and the offense he has been running feeding Nene is the post is terrible.

He is what EFJ was. A good assistant that is not a good head coach.

Please fire him at the All Star break.

Chocolate City Jordanaire · Post #98 » by **Chocolate City Jordanaire** » Sun Feb 3, 2013 3:55 am

hands, when they fire Randy I guaran-damn-tee you the next coach won't win ISH with this team, either.

Splitter v Nene is not on Randy. Duncan is just a leeeetle bit better than Okafor. Crawford can take 30 shots and they won't beat SA.

The Spurs shoot too well, defend too well, and there isn't firepower on this roster.

Agreed. The Wizards can't score because Ernie stocked the team with a bunch of nice, hardworking guys that just can't shoot.
