Wizards Season 2012-13

nonono ..... no thanks

one european that worked was seriphin .... but our track record there in't very good.

if a move is made i still say cassell time.  some people you know will be a head coach in the future and are i guess labled as being "groomed"  that seems to be sam's case.

Redskins beat defending champs, Wizards beat defending champs the following night . End of the world soon?

You just beat me to it shake! ......................YES!!!!!!!!!!!

only one game but, some hope given ... and ... isn't that how we are supposed to get back into this if we do?  one at a time.

hey lets enjoy .... we've been through enough! 

Redskins beat defending champs, Wizards beat defending champs the following night . End of the world soon?

And watch out for those Flying Pigs!

Relax fellas, don't get carried away with this victory. The Heat let their guard down and got sucker punched, plain and simple. Want to see if we're on to something? Our next three games are against the Hawks on Friday, the Wariors on Saturday, and the Hornets next Tuesday.

Anyone want to hazard a guess as to how many we'll win? If we win out or even win two out of three, maybe we're on a marginal roll, "Gangnam Style." So while I don't think so, I'll put up a good front and say that we have the capability of winning against the Warriors & Hornets. I know that anything is possible....(look at my avatar - I'm telling you I KNOW anything is possible!)...but is there anyone out there that honestly believes that the WizKids will take ALL THREE GAMES? Sentiment aside.........


Any takers?  

Wait just a %$# minute......Can this really be true? Owner Tom Benson is actually going to change the name of his team from the Hornets,,,,,,,to the (get this),............You won't believe this........













Pelicans?


I didn't think old Tom was taking controlled substances, but I'm not so sure now. The Pelicans? The New Orleans Pelicans? OMG, somebody please conduct an intervention. He's not well!!


Tom it's not to late.....Make it the New Orleans Brass (in tribute to the music) or keep Hornets, but for goodness sake don't make your mascot a PELICAN!!

You'll never live it down.....NEVER....LOL!!

NEVER!

Huge downside to last nights win...Ernie turns to Teddy and screams..."SEE!" ...and Teddy continues to hold on to continuity

i'll be a homer ... two of three we take.

Okay fellas, I put Dauber down for two. Since this is primarily a forum of four with an occasional cameo from Big 'Dawg, I'm waiting to hear from you other guys. What's it gonna be Shake & Frank? Wizards will win:

1) one
2) two 
3) all three!
4) a big, fat egg 

Vote early and vote often!!

You know, I used to get PO'd that there were only 4 Musketeers, with a 5th showing up when he was sober or not surfing porn (jjkng). But then I went to the Hornets' webpage to post a log on the switch of mascot names from "Hornets" to "Pelicans". After my visit, I'm feeling pretty good.

I'm not going to tell you what it looks like, I want you to check it out for yourselves. And while you're at it, show some love and support.....


They could REALLY use it.  

We win Friday, we win them all. We lose Friday, we lose them all

Okay 'Dawg, we're waiting to hear from you and Frank. So far I've gotten a conditional statement from Shake and a solid two games from Dauber. I wish I could be optimistic, but I don't see it in the cards. My gut says one, at best.

Prove me wrong, WizKids....PLEASE! 


GO WIZ! 

Mark me down for 1 out of 3.  I say we beat GS at home.

We're going to TROUNCE the Hawks. Double digit point spread in the victory.

hey ... last time at atl it was only a 1 point game

Well ... there goes that.     Play Beal more, Crawfird less!   And I'm a Livingston guy but, 3 fouls in 3 minutes? ... come on ... just gives us more price, which is not a good thing.

More seriously though, and a team concern, we simply can't continue to be out rebounded at the rate that we are.  Giving us no chance. 

Dauber, right on the money on all counts. Its rare that I don't finish out a contest, but I became so frustrated that I turned to a Div II championship on ESPN2 that was never close. A better mechanic would get more out of this car....

Oh well; one down (literally), two more to go. 

GO WIZ! 

Sigh...I hate being wrong about last nights hopeful wish of a double digit win, but I hate even more being right about not winning any of the three if we lost last nights snore fest.

I'll say it again. It's not the personnel. Other coaches have done a lot more with less. Look at the standings. Its there for all eyes to see. Does Uncle Ern play a part in this? Sure, but I don't lay this charge at his feet.

Bear with me for a moment; when the Colts were teasing their fans with a potential dynasty, they never thought about the possibility of Peyton Manning having a serious injury that would keep him out for a prolonged period of time. They brought in a number of clipboard holders who never saw the light of day and were content to bolster the offense while neglecting the defense. They did this for years upon years. Even after Coach Dungy left the team his hand picked successor, Jim Caldwell, guided the team to two successful seasons making us think that Caldwell was more than a "yes" man, but actually had a good grasp of managing the team. It wasn't until Manning went down and out that we realized that Peyton covered up a lot of sins and Caldwell was woefully inefficient.

There are many similarities here. Wall, by no means, is on par with a Peyton Manning. However he does illustrate a point. When Wall is healthy his penetration allows for a lot of easy baskets. When he is not available, his absence is felt on the court tremendously. More importantly, it also shows the need for a good head coach. As decent a guy as Randy Wittman is, his forte is not head coaching. Assistant coaching? possibly. But as head coach he leaves much to be desired. 

Look at the "Lake Show". While nothing is being said in the locker room at present, don't you think there are quite a few that secretly wish that Mike D'Antoni had been the one that had been rooked rather than Phil Jackson? Now, what are the odds that Jackson can be convinced that all is forgiven? Pretty much slim and none; he'll never to return to the team. His ego won't allow it unless he's awarded a share of team ownership...And I'm not talking 10%. That's the difference between a great coach and a mediocre one. D'Antoni had the good fortune of having a healthy Steve Nash at the helm. Guess what? Steve Nash is injured and D'Antoni's warts are showing.

Good coaches are hard to come by. It takes a keen eye to spot one. A good coach can make a spotty team competitive. Once again, I ask you to look at the standings. Look at the marginal teams with winning records or those hovering around .500. There's some good coaching going on around the league, but none of it has been located near the Phone Booth......

Bring aboard a decent coach and watch this team turn its fortunes around with the existing personnel they have. Nothing else need be changed except the guy standing on the sideline with the scowl on his face. His time has come and gone.



Oh...and by the way, two down; one more to go!

crawford 8 assists?!?!?!  I've bashed, but will give credit where it is due, his assist totals have fine thus far.

Talk about looking for a silver lining in an otherwise dark and foreboding sky..........

Alex, I'll take the category of: Two less assists, Three more turnovers, more selfishness, AND A %$#@ WIN

for $800, please?


Yeppir......we're talking Double Jeopardy here!


Okay, show of hands: Do we earn the "Trifecta of Infamy" this evening?


SMH!!!
