Grunfeld a Great GM. Proves Doubters Wrong

[milellie111]

Actually, missing on Leonard and Faried is very much like picking Darko over Carmelo -- both Leonard and Faried were more productive over their first three seasons than Carmelo was. But, Carmelo came to the NBA younger. Leonard had a couple years in college; Faried played 4 years. So, it's not a completely fair comparison.

Agreed that Grunfeld is playing with house money at this point. There's zero doubt he'll remain on the job. Wittman too. They've already exceeded the goal Leonsis set for them this season.

I'm not buying the whole Ted set expectations for Ernie to make the playoffs etc. ANY owner in this situation right now would have the same feelings about Grunfelds job at the moment from a business standpoint.

Your the dumbest troll, trolls usually know what there talking about. Ted basically went on the record stating the goal was to make the playoffs and there would be problems if they didn't ya goofy!!!

lol!! Right! Say's the poster who doesn't know the difference between "your" and "you're"

And you're the dumbest fan if you believe what an owner tells the media.

Teds goal is to maximize profits and win a championship. Like every owner. Not just to make the playoffs.

You were a hater, and you are posting, so we are hearing more than the crickets.

Talking about those who still are haters for no reason buddy.

I never hated Ted nor Randy unlike you. And, I really don't hate EG, but I think he should be fired for all the reasons that have been stated before, and I stand by those feelings. And, I have posted far before you ever created this thread, that in spite of EG's incompetence, the Wizards were not that far from being where I wanted them to be. So, shut up and eat your crow you hater.

I never called you out and said you were a hater.

And again, you think he should be fired based on reasons which all happened in the past and have nothing to do with the current teams success. If you made some mistakes at your job years ago, but then figured it out and had great success for the company, yet your boss fired you for the past mistakes and disregarded all of your current work how sensible is that?

I also didn't hate on John Wall (unlike you), and I argued that John Wall was worth the contract extension he got.

You are passive aggressively attacking people. So stop your crying when people directly attack you back. And shut up and eat your crow you hater. John Wall has made you look like a fool for some of your past comments.

But, at least Grunfeld assembled a team good enough to take advantage of the good fortune of a weak conference and a staggering top seed. And, why not enjoy some good fortune -- especially considering how crappy the franchise's luck has been for the past few decades.

Agreed. It's about time the Wizards were on the positive side of good fortune. Miami has been on the positive side of good fortune. Cleveland, Philly, and Jersey were all lucky too in getting to the Finals by playing in the East and they played in ERA's where there was no stacked teams in the East.

Even on the injury front, the Wizards were snake-bitten in the playoffs after Gil got hurt. But nationally, LeBron and Cleveland didn't get asterisks for beating an injury riddled Wizard team in the playoffs both those years. And Ernie is not getting an asterisk either for those injury riddled playoff appearances by those that are obsessed with him being fired.

Please, if you will, highlight were I am passively aggressively attacking people:

I believe Ernie Grunfeld deserves some credit for such a well balanced team he has put together. The best backcourt in the league with Wall and Beal, one of the best overall small forwards in the East (Ariza),a legit starter in Booker,and a serviceable center in Gortat.The bench is also deep. Garrett Temple is a gem and one of the best defensive backup pgs in the league, Nene is a top 10 power forward in the league when healthy, Martell Webster could be a starter on another team, Vesely is a rebounding freak and has lots of potential and Otto Porter has star potential. Most importantly this team has chemistry, the guys look as if they all mesh and have fun playing together and there are no knuckleheads/problem childs on the team.

There is a reason Grunfeld still has his job....Because he knows what he's doing!! Constantly im reading on here and hearing from Wizards fans they want Grunfeld gone. Ernie actually needs an extension. This team is built to hang with anyone in the East and the future looks bright with the money we have to sign a free agent. Most importantly, Ernie chose the right coach in Whittman. He could be a candidate for coach of the year if the team keeps playing like it is. Whittmans coaching style is working and the guys are responding. Whittman has turned Wall into a star right under our eyes and possibly the best all around point guard in the league (offensively and defensively). Quiet as kept, Ted Leonsis is one of the best owners in the league compared to some other guys (mark cuban). Ted cares about this team and is committed to winning. Also, he is one of the most down to earth individuals out there.

The future looks bright for this team and i hope everyone is retained on the coaching and management staff as i see this team being one of the best in the NBA.

You named this thread "Proves doubter wrong", and you complain about Wizards fan who want Grunfeld gone. You are passive aggressively attacking those who want Grunfeld gone. This whole thread is filled with examples of you passive aggressively attacking people. For example, saying the haters are silent.

I just reread some of your quotes that TGW provided. Bradley Beal is making you look like a fool also, you hater. So shut up and eat your crow.

[Brenice]

If you are butt-hurt over a phrase used all the time, you are too sensitive. "Proving doubters wrong" is a common phrase. Grunfeld being great is inaccurate though.

Roy Hibbert's goal right now is to "Prove Doubters Wrong". The person with something to prove is the person who should be butt-hurt. Not bloggers.

Who ever said they were butt hurt over it. He wanted an example of his passive aggressive behavior, and I gave it to him. He was passive aggressively looking for a fight, and he got it, and now he complains about it.

"Proves Doubters Wrong" was not directed to anyone on here specifically. It is a general statement and could apply to anyone on this forum or not on it.

Yes, i've already said before I was wrong about Wall, Beal, even Grunfeld and Wittman. What is your point? At least I know when to change my point of view based on what I see. Unlike some others.

[fishercob]

What if Beal puts up a John Starksian 1-17 next game? Will you change your point of view again?

Attacking another person's point of view and then saying it could apply to almost anybody, but not necessarily anybody in particular is pretty much the text book definition of passive aggressiveness.

Unlike you, myself and others were not wrong about Wall, Beal, Wittman, Maynor, Vesely, Crawford, Ted et al, and I am not going to let someone as wrong as often as you dictate how I should view EG's capabilities (and I am guessing that there are others who share my point of view).

The Pacers have to make some kind of adjustments. They probably will try to run A3za off the 3line. But that is at the expense of protecting the paint because a lot of those 3's by A3za are kick backs from Wall as Wall pushes the break and Indy has no choice but protect the paint.

In halfcourt, they will probably focus on Beal, but that will still open things up for someone else because Stevenson can't defend Beal 1-on-1.

A lot of people upset that Ernie will not be fired after this season. They are so upset about it that this thread is 59 pages long.
