Terp Talk - Maryland Sports » Andray Blatche http://www.terptalk.com Keith Cavanaugh, Erik Bakich on Koons Ford Terp Talk Thursday Night at 6PM on ESPN1300.com and terptalk.com Fri, 10 Feb 2012 06:59:13 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 Flip Reinstates Dray Immediately—Why? http://www.terptalk.com/2010/03/25/flip-reinstates-dray-immediately-why/ http://www.terptalk.com/2010/03/25/flip-reinstates-dray-immediately-why/#comments Fri, 26 Mar 2010 03:29:14 +0000 Josh http://terptalk.com/?p=7595 Wizards1 Flip Reinstates Dray Immediately Why?

On Tuesday night, after an overtime loss to the Bobcats, Flip Saunders said that in 15 years of coaching, he had never been more disappointed than he was when Andray Blatche refused to go back into the game after Flip took him out to talk about defense.  Flip said that it was alright for Blatche to be “pissed” at him but that Blatche leaving his teammates in the trenches without him was “uncalled for.”

Hey Flip, want to talk about credibility?  What do you think your credibility looks like after you STARTED Blatche in Indiana and played him a team-high 39 minutes the night after he refused to play for you?  Blatche comes out of this incident looking like a punk.  Flip, on the other hand, just looks foolish.  Michael Lee, of The Washington Post, reported today that Ernie Grunfeld, Flip, and Blatche met right after the press conference on Tuesday night and worked things out.  What will the Wizards look like next year?

Gilbert is in control of the team but not in control of his game. He is rusty beyond imagination and yet continues to take every crucial shot. What has happened to Stevenson’s shooting–brick after brick.  But again injuries are taking their toll on the Bullets. First it was Antawn, then Mike Miller, then Mike James, and last night, Randy Foye. Can this team ever get a break?

Steve Nash gets everyone involved, there is no 1 on1 or standing around. Andray Blatche again played some excellent basketball scoring 20 points. He has made a great turnaround.  The Wizards sorely miss Mike Miller and Antawn during this tough opening  stretch.
