Guys watch RIck’s Rant on Nba.com. It’s so simple even for outsiders who are not like us. Sigh.

I think Nick should try his best against Igoudala, it’s not like Igoudala has that much skill anyway, just athleticism.

Gray, I hear ya, but everyone on those teams know their roles and pretty much stay focused (doesn’t happen here yet, except for Brendan, but he rarely touches the ball on O, so when he does, he’s getting his freak on…lol) I guess we do have somewhat of a Carmelo in AJ (I SAID SOMEWHAT…LOL..) does AJ get assists?

Javalle could be like Noah on the bulls or Christensen on Denver….MAN!!, JAVELLE SHOULD BE ON HIS WAY TO BEING A BEAST….USE THOSE HOPS WHILE YA GOT EM AND THAT WINGSPAN
Talking about mis-management of resources….
Rudy from Portland is a beast and Oden is tearing the bulls up tonight!!

I’m sorry Mike Miller and Caron are hurt. I’m glad Coach Saunders wants to give Nick some love, but, against this team may be a mistake. Igudala is their best all around player. Unless they are planning to start Dominic at the 3 and put him on Iggy we are pretty much doomed from the start. I’m not worried about Nick’s offense, but, there is no way at this point in his career he can guard Igudala.

The match up at the 4 should be interesting with Brand being from Duke and Antawn being from North Carolina

We should have the advantage at the 5 with Brendan vs Dalembert. And at the one if Gilbert gets out of his funk.

If Flip has a way to slow down Iggy without using just Nick ok. Otherwise I hope he rethinks things before 7 pm tomorrow night

dcbutler, the wizards don’t necessarily need a big man down low, they just need someone to take that position

look at the bulls, they never needed it, why? because mj was able to take that role.

look at how melo is able to play the post up position which can help his team, how kobe can help his team with it, they all do it because mj was able to fill that void for his team and his team had so much success with it.

this is why i said butler should try to become that type of player but he’s never shown the will to do it. gilbert used to do it (in limited amounts) but i haven’t seen it from him much this season.

actually tbh, the best post up player the wizards have at the 1-3 is nick young, he has shown an ability to score there quite often. he has always had a lot of confidence in that fadeaway shot from the post. i never understood why the wizards never utilized this as a weapon when it worked so many times for him.

i am with you on that i think if young gets some time to see if he can get into a flow.. when he starts to hit he is hard to stop but if he is off he just trys way too hard needs to let the game come to him.. an why do we not try and feed Haywood i am sure he can get some easy shots just like every other center if you give him a chance just tell him to not jack up crazy fade aways and pass back out if its not there

I’m sitting here watching league pass and I’m like, why does everyone else look normal in their offensive sets. WE DON’T HAVE A BIG MAN DOWN LOW. Ok, we have Dray developing an offensive? game, and AJ, but he shoots a lot of jumpers also. Unless I am purely forgetting somebody, we don’t have an offensive big man…….Geez, no wonder if we don’t hit jumpers, we are just “out there”

oh and as for young, i would rather judge him off of meaningful minutes than just one game of barely any minutes. i’d rather judge him off of his previous years and years in college more than just one game this season.

young has shown he can score the ball, he just relies on confidence. of course he is going to make mistakes at first, but he’s young and just needs a coach to teach him not to bench him for doing stuff starters are doing (both arenas and caron take plenty of “what was that?” type of shots).

and it sounds like nick has shown up to play in practice so that could mean he wants his minutes. you could tell he never liked sitting and i remember him saying after last season he didn’t want to sit for another season. so mabye he is going to give it his all to get back in this lineup, and that’s a good thing.

but of course their always the chance that he’s just getting a chance because of injuries and he doesn’t make the most of it, but at this point i’d rather look for light at the end of the tunnel than just keep looking forward to the worst. i mean at this point, i don’t have much else to look forward to with this team lol, might as well look forward to some added youth and talent in the lineup.

I am so disappointed with our record..The wizards are one of the more talented teams in the league but cant seem to get any easy baskets and its so simple that when there is ball movement we make runs in games take the Dallas game in the begining of the year we had the ball moving and kept the defense guessing….part of that was because of Oberto which is why i think he should start the next game. he keeps the ball moving and is our pointguard up front ..we need obertos pass first mentality to balance things out offensively bacause right now we are exactly that jeffmalone1990 a jump shooting and me first basketball team which really bugs me!!
