John Wall Banks in a 3 Point Shot as The Wizards Defeat Boston 85-83
January 23rd, 2011 · No Comments · Wizards
Could there be a light at the end of the tunnel? For the first time in several years I can actually say a Wizards game kept me on the edge of my seat. Each Day John Wall gets better and if he ever develops a consistent outside shot , he will be unstoppable. The Celtics [...]

It Was Freezing in LA today—Wait The Game was in DC —- Lakers 103 Wiz 89
December 15th, 2010 · No Comments · Wizards
If you closed your eyes and listened you would have thought you were in LA. The lakers are a team and I mean a real team. Yes Kobe and Shannon Brown fire up the shots but that’s where it ends. Derek Fisher and Steve Blake are excellent at setting up the offense. One of my [...]

Wiz Lose Again in Sacramento
December 9th, 2010 · No Comments · NBA
I am finding it tough to see anything encouraging about the Bullets. Trevor Booker though undersized as a 5, has really been playing well as of late. I think Flip is out of ideas. I wish we had Caron back. Well Blake had a great game against the Wizards in LA.
Flip Reinstates Dray Immediately—Why?
March 25th, 2010 · 2 Comments · Washington Wizards, Wizards
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 [...]
Wizards Drop 12th in a Row as Dre is Benched By Flip
March 24th, 2010 · 2 Comments · Washington Wizards, Wizards
I wonder if Flip is sorry he ever answered Ernie’s phone call last summer. Flip said that Andre Blatche’s response to his advice was the most disappointing event of his coaching career. Hasn’t Andre seen that the Wizards are letting anyone and everyone go. Doesn’t Blatche realize that if a team can lose 12 in [...]

After finishing dinner at Tarks last night, I looked at the TV and saw the Wizards in familiar position –ahead by 1 with 8 minutes to play. Well the rest is history . Fifteen minutes the Wiz were toast losing again down the stretch. Flip—figure out something and please don’t take the added distractions role.

Tyreke Evans Strips Gilbert to Save Victory For Sacramento
December 17th, 2009 · No Comments · Wizards
Flip you better learn soon that this is not the Gilbert of yesteryear. Cut to the chase—The Bullets are down by 1 with 16 seconds left and Gilbert has the ball. He lets the clock go down to 5 seconds then starts his vintage moves and he has the ball stolen from him by Tyreke [...]

Blatche Scores 30 As Wizards Coast over the Nets in Home Opener
November 1st, 2009 · No Comments · Washington Wizards
Midway through the 2nd quarter , I just had to ask TNT’s David Aldridge, Ron Thompson, and others on Press Row who was wearing the #7 jersey for the Wizards. Surely it wasn’t Andre Blatche. 13-15 from the field. Incredibly aggrssive all over the court. What message did Flip get over to Andre. The kid [...]

Wizards Open Season Without Jamison But Much Deeper Then Last Year
October 27th, 2009 · No Comments · Wizards
Many guys on this team have a lot to prove this year. First and foremost is the former Agent Zero, Gilbert Arenas. Let’s see if he can put this team on his back while Antawn is recuperating. I do believe that Mike Miller will be a tremendous help as well as the return of Brendan [...]
