The team is really hurting from the 3 point line. Mike James and Stevenson should not be shooting 3 point shots unless they are wide open. Yes, occasionally they will have a good day from the 3 point line but most of the time they hurt the team.
I am still a big Juan Dixon fan and think he should be getting more minutes at shooting guard. He is one of the best shooters on the team and has consistently scored when given that assignment. He has a good average from the 3 point line.
I think Pecherov should be getting some minutes from the shooting guard position. He has a good average from the 3 point line. At 7 ft, he can get his shot anytime he wants.
And Darius should be given the green light on shooting. He plays a great team game, moves the ball around, sets picks, but he is an excellent shooter and should be higher on the list during some of the rotations.
Thanks for the stats on Crittenton’s A/TO ratio. I guess I’ve only seen his 6 turnovers and not his assists.

It’s frustrating watching this coaching staff lose game after game for us. I have no idea what he is looking at from the bench. Let’s see, you are getting killed on the boards. Let’s go small. I’m getting sick to my stomach watching this fake coach. Talks a good game but know nothing about basketball. Any house league coach would have left Blatche and McGee in the game together until one or both foul out. I can’t take it.

Look everybody I think we’re focusing on the pieces and not the whole…Wise teacher once said to my mother: “The situation is this, we had an experienced teacher, best in the world teaching your son, and he performed poorly. Then we brought in a substitute teacher, and he still did not progress…What I’m trying to tell you ma’am is that it’s not the teacher, it’s your boy.” Moral of the story is, we simply are not performing REGARDLESS of who coaches the Wiz Kidz, we’re still losing…

Hey man, I would have never signed Gil for that long and all that money. Like I said Butler and Jamison are nice and we should keep them, but all that money for Gil….???? Ummm not to sure about that… But more then anything I have said it and everone else on the blog has said it coaching, coaching, coaching. Man it’s bad!

GetaBB… Ayers obviously stinks too. What Defense?

Dabeatkeeper… you make an interesting point? Do we keep what we have with Gil’s knee and long term contract..Antwan’s knee and long term contract and nobody’s expiring? What do we do now folks???

There is probably some first-year biddy basketball coach in Outer Mongolia who knows less about coaching basketball than coach Tap…Just kidding, actually, I really doubt that anyone could possibly know less about coaching basketball than coach Tap.

Not only does Tap take away any momentum that the Wiz might build with his rediculous rotations, but then he has the nerve to say that a primary reason that we lost to the Bucks was because we didn’t rebound the ball in the 4th quarter. Who was the coach who had Darius playing center as the tallest Wiz on the court in the 4th quarter while the Bucks had Bogut and a few other players taller than any Wiz on the court killing us off the boards.

Unless there has been a major rule change in the NBA, McGee, Blatche and McGuire are not allowed to rebound from the bench…however, I wouldn’t be surprised if Tap doesn’t know that…Tap ask Jr. he can fill you in on the rules.

How can you be a NBA coach and not have some offensive scheme that allows you to get the ball to a “hot” shooter (think Slick) in a position where he doesn’t have to beat the other team’s five players in order to get a decent shot. I said yesterday that folks should watch how the Bucks get Michael Redd free. Imaging my lack of suprise when they did it again tonight to beat us. Is there any blogger who sincerely believes that Tap may have learned anything about getting a shooter free from tonight’s game?

Our entire coaching staff (save Dave H. and perhaps Randy A.) STINKS! A good coach wins close games by superior coaching. Our coach has lost 14 games when he was ahead or tied in the 4th quarter. Good grief, even a blind squirrel finds a nut sometime.

I think that it is VERY telling that Tap says things like: the players didn’t produce for ME; the players didn’t provide energy for ME; the players didn’t react like I wanted them to for ME …ME,ME,ME. This is a team game Tap, stuff the ME.

It’s easy to see that the players have no respect for this pretender of a coach. EJ used bad judgement, but at least he understood the game. Tap has no idea at all about what is going on. Tonight during timeouts he huddled with his coaches and was actually taking notes about what they were telling him. That’s what an attorney might do, not a NBA basketball coach.

I don’t normally say anything negative about DJ or GC, but Glenn’s comment on the call-in show tonight that the technical foul called on AB when we were ahead by 12 was a critical point in the game was riduculous. The refs blew 3 ticky-tac fouls on AB in about 30 seconds. The last one was crazy. AB protested and was “T’d” up. Big deal about the “T”. The really big deal was that Tap took him out of the game and he stayed on the bench until the Bucks closed the gap.

Enough for tonight…let’s just get rid of the LOTTERY COACH and the LOTTERY OFFENSE and get a big boy offense that will allow these players to produce some wins and get the fans involved again.

WOW once again same old same old. Does anyone think we are going to try and make a trade before the deadline? I have a feeling with the way this year is going a trade will not happen! I love Butler and Jamison and feel bad for those guys, having to deal with this lame coaching staff I know they must be down on the situation. McGee, Blatche and Young are great, man with these 3 guys and the big 3 man!!!! I’ll open my eyes on that wish!

There is a major difference when McGee and Blatche are on the court together, expecially when JCritt is with them….Every shot in the lane is contested and offensive rebounds for the opposition are minimal and the middle is attacked.

I don’t even pay attention to Tap when he talks, if the answers were a snake, he would be bit by now (the answers are right in his face) his days are numbered. I’m not even worried about the young getting playing time anymore. They have proven that they can do this.

Just biding my time and enjoying the game when the youth get playing time. You can feel the attitude, energy and freshness when they are all in together.
