dmac,

That is a great point about Andray. He does seem to lack the mean streak needed to have the killer instinct. He needs to play with power underneath and at the post.

You know who else lacks that mean streeak – Nick. You need a mean streak to take (and make) those late-game killing shots. Gil has that mean streak, so does Caron and (the Duke of) Earl.

Everybody thinks Roger Federer is some easy-going nice guy – baloney. He has no qualms about beating someone 6-0, 6-0. That what it takes to win.

Grifon Racing I meant to say if not John Wall there is also the man-child form Ga. Tech name Derrick Favors. He is a Dwight Howard type who is a natural PF with more all around game especially offensively when Dwight came out.
John Wall and Derrick Favors i predict will be the top 2 picks coming out.
I really feel we may have to trade CB to get a Amare or Bosh for next season. If we don’t get Wall I would try to get Bayless from Portland as well.

Wizards_fusion I appreciate your recent comments. EG is our Vinny C. Thanks for letting the real big 3 know that a couple of wins comment is him missing the whole point. KG, R. Allen and P.P. did not win the championship by themselves.
Chenier Fan good to read your comment as well especially about A.B. and R.F. Main problem with A.B is has no killer instinct. If he did AJ would be the 6th man.
Grifon Racing good to here from you.

WHO IN THE HECK IS PORTLAND’S TALENT SCOUT???

We need who/whomever that person is

They have more talent on that team NOT playing…I guess McGee is our Bayless. BTW-Who is our talent scout(please don’t say Tap)?

if the wiz is 11-40, i’m going to advocate tanking the season and hope to win the lottery for the rights to john wall.

lebron said he’s the real deal – i have to agree. john wall doesn’t lose and that mentality is the same as kobe and wade.

in my opinion, dom’s game went down this season as opposed to last season. the only reason is because he’s not getting minutes.

i will say this again – why is mcgee not playing? there are no shot blockers on this team except for this guy! he’s an intimidating force in the paint!

i have to really wonder if flip’s ignorance for defense was actually true when the pistons ben wallace complained that flip doesn’t run defensive drills in practice.

with this group of wizards, the offense is not the worry – it should always be defense.

On Ted Leonsis. My understanding, at the time, was that Ted got minority ownership in the Wizards and majority ownership of the Capitals and Mystics. When Abe decided to step down Ted was to take full control. As far as I know that hasn’t changed.

Not a good season so far guys. I’ve been slow to post as I don’t really have much good to say. I can’t understand how guys that have played the game their whole lives can play the game so inconsistently. Is it the system? Is it too many egos clashing? They didn’t clash before… why now? I don’t really see Flip putting any of them in “horrible” situations as happened last season. The ball movement isn’t there, the “want” to defend is there only in a select few, NO HEART. I don’t get it. I don’t know about the playoffs but I would like to have a better record than last season

I didn’t see the game becuase of business travel, but I’m not sure I need to see the games because of the predictable pattern going on.

If Flip would start Dom instead of Deshawn, the Wiz win these games. Dom plays hard and is the only Wizard who has a very underrated talent – a nose for the ball. Getting loose balls is something the Wiz are terrible at and that is worth about 8 pts a game. Presto – a winning record over the past few games.

If I’m Andray, I ask for a trade. There is no point for him to waste away playing a non-active role.

Same for Randy Foye. This is a guy who averaged 16 pts/game last year. That’s impressive. And his diminished role this year makes him look like a D leaguer.

The Wiz are banking on the big three but this isnt’ the same big three as they were 3 years ago. Antawn is on the downside of his career, Caron is undersized at his position and not playing at the same skill level, and Gil is rusty and should not be a full time point guard

Flip needs to make some changes – try something!
