Doesn't seem like he's doing his part in reminding John Wall of the John Wall of last season. Why isn't John Wall attacking the rim at all??? How can he let Wall's scoring value take a backseat to this degree? His field goal % is dropping a little bit more every game.

Can someone please get on Twitter and remind him of what made him so successful last season before this gets way out of hand.

This is crazy...

If we lose to Minny and @Cleveland... Witt's head will role.

But Ernie really doesn't deserve another opportunity to fire & hire a head coach.

It doesn't matter, what matters is that a scalp will need to be served-up very soon if the losing continues....and we know Ernie won't be fired first.

If Wall returns to last season's form and the the other guys remain involved then no heads will need to roll because the team will begin winning...

Which is why I really have no problems with Wall's struggles at the moment. It's very convenient to my interests. :devil:

Leonsis is still paying for Saunders, I doubt he's going to let Grunfeld fire another coach.

Witt's career record- 149-298.

Can't pin the loss completely on him tonight. Thought his first half use of the bench was pretty creative and inspired.

Thought putting in. GRJR in 4th was not smart and that he left Wall out to cool down for three or four too many possessions down the stretch. Meh.

But 149-2 friggin' 98!

At some point, you ARE your record and losing becomes almost the equivalent of muscle memory.

Witt was not the one to blame for this L. He did commit a few coaching errors, but he has no bench.
Did Maynor even play? Temple committed a game changing turnover. GRJ first game was pretty bad. Sad Witt will go, but you can only get so creative with $h1t...in the end it still stinks.

How many coaches need to come and go for Ted to realize that, maybe....just maybe...it's the guy assembling the craptastic roster who needs to get the axe?

Unreal isn't it. The time to fire Ernie was before the 2011 draft. He should have cleaned house following that disastrous 2010 season.

Letting the man that assembled that mess of a roster be in charge of a rebuild is unforgivable.

At this point, I would have no problem with them firing Randy and letting Newman be the HC.

Sorry, but Randy has been terrible with his line up and rotations to maximize the talent he has here. This roster isn't perfect, but it doesn't suck this bad.

Then when it makes sense, fire EG.

Is there a thread on this board where I can sincerely apologize to all the posters on here, all of my family, friends, and colleagues for talking about a plus .500 record and playoffs this year? I'm greatly embarrassed.

I don't think Randy is the problem. No coach could coach this team with this turd of a bench assembled by a turd of a gm.

Well maybe the bench wouldn't be so turd is you brought some better players off it from who he is starting.

You know who started for CLE. C Miles and E Clark.

You know who they brought off the bench. J Jack and A Varejao

You know who finished the game, played all of the 4th and most of the 2nd with J Jack and Varejao

You don't have to start all your best players. Its called coaching and creating miss matches.

All you witnessed was Randy getting out coached again.

Source: Wizards Will Give Randy Wittman Time To Turn Season Around
Nov 18, 2013 11:39 PM EST

Despite the Washington Wizards' 2-7 start, Randy Wittman will receive time to turn around the team's season, according to a source.

The Wizards playing six of their first eight games on the road impacted their slow start.

The Wizards' owners have made it clear that they expect to make the playoffs.
Via Sam Amick/USA Today


Are Witt and EG on there 8/9 lives now???

Return to Washington Wizards
