Washington Wizards 2011-2012 Ongoing Thread

You knew they were going to come out and win this game in Wittman's first effort against a 3 win Charlotte. Que 10 game losing streak now...

Yep lol. We still can't win on the road, so our 4 out of 5 road game schedule coming up won't help.

I love what Whittman says in his press conferences and his attitude of how to coach this team, but I wonder if it's because i'm a dissatisfied fan I want to see someone who gets in people's faces.

Jeremy is Linning right now at the Phone Booth.

How can anybody support this team? I really don't understand it. They're worse than a D-league, and that's putting it nicely. I've never seen a bigger embarrassment in my life, then this team. They make the 2009 Redskins look like Super Bowl contenders.

We have a lot of bad teams in D.C, but I've never been more ashamed in my life in any of them, than I am right now with the Wizards.

Then Ted Leonsis wonders why the Post talks down on the team and why tickets are sold for less than a $1.

I don't know why everyone is dissatisfied with all the loosing at this point. Right now we're better served to get a top 5 pick in this upcoming draft then we are to compete for a playoff spot that would likely be a first round exit if they somehow made it that far. Or worse yet we finish 9th or 10th in the East and get crummy draft position in possibly the deepest draft in NBA history missing out on an all-star prospect.

If they're still playing like this in 2 years then fine, make sure heads roll but complaining about the rebuilding effort at this point is premature to say the least.

As long as Ernie is here it's not going to matter. He's a horrible GM and will continue to run this team into the ground because Leonsis is too stupid.

Allen Iverson Has No Answer For Financial Woes | ThePostGame (http://www.thepostgame.com/blog/dish/201202/allen-iverson-has-no-answer-financial-woes)


I knew Allen Iverson was a complete dumbass, but how you blow 154 million is mind boggling. This is worse than Antoine Walker. I don't feel sorry for these asshats one bit. They had it all and blew it on jewelry, leeches, and a fast life style. Good riddance you jerkoff.


I've always despised Allen Iverson. Guy was a complete assclown, and a huge reason why they never won a championship in Philly. He didn't give it his all in practice which is a true sign of a competitor and champion. Jordan never half assed it in practice, but Allen sure did.

More on Iverson.

Problem was, it was A.I. and "who that?" Almost every night, single-handedly, he would win or lose a game. That's not the way basketball is intended to be played, even if Larry Brown said it was so, too, the right way. Forty points are impressive. Taking 30 shots to get them is not.



"He redefined high maintenance," Croce said.

He was hardly the poster child for working on conditioning. He was always half a step ahead, and they warned him the day would come when the half step would go away, never to return. They should have saved their breath; they were whistling into the wind. And now, now that bill has come due.

I was at the NY Knicks game the week before last. Even though the entire crowd was rooting for the Knicks and Lin, John Wall is really starting to become a stud. Whatever they do in the future, they gotta keep Wall. He must run a 4.3 40. He might be the fast guy in the league.

Interestingly enough, I think he plays his best when he slows himself down a bit. When he's going full throttle, he's sometimes out of control and his teammates can't keep up with him. Successful teams must know how to run half-court sets- I think the light bulb may be starting to come on. The second half of his sophomore season should show vast improvement (much like Rose's).
