Ted can't be happy.

77 points in professional basketball is pathetic.

Derrick Rose and RGIII. What might have been.

I find it difficult to lump those two together. Rose's issue is 100% b/c of injuries, which is not close to the case with Griffith IMO.

 

[strungout]

I think its at least 90% if not 95% of his problem.

He was good until the Baltimore game....worse after the Seattle game. Now running a system that protects him from running because of the injury.

While not the same circumstances...its the injury causing it for both guys.

You'd be dead wrong. How can you possibly think injuries haven't affected Griffin's development?

 

[Capitlols]

Adidas is the real loser here.

Because not anywhere close to all of Griffin's issues are physical.

Unless his injuries have negatively effected his ability to sit in a film room, study and prepare and also read defenses injuries are only a small part of the problem IMO.

He still has wonderful physical tools. The rest of his game is severely lacking though...

Out of three seasons and two offseasons, he's lost two seasons and one off season. I'm not disagreeing that some of it is mental, but injuries have certainly played a role.

I didn't say they didn't play a role but they are not the primary reason he has struggled IMO. Rose on the other hand...

Then I remembered: The Wizards could have drafted Curry. They didn’t, because management deluded themselves into thinking they could win a title with a team that had made the second round of the playoffs four years before. So instead of drafting Curry at no. 5, they traded that top-five pick for Mike Miller and Randy Foye, the team never made it past the first round, and both those guys were gone within 18 months....

People keep asking, “What’s wrong with the Wizards?” The answer is that all the shortsighted, lazy, and cheap tendencies that have defined this team for decades are now being exposed all at once. It’s happening with Grunfeld’s roster, and it’s compounded by Wittman’s coaching. The Wizards have been a step behind and playing catch-up ever since Arenas got hurt, and this year it’s all catching up to them.

Ted can't be happy.

Ted can go fly a kite, he is ultimately responsible for the struggles of both his teams.

Less than 30 seconds left and you need a stop. How in the world does that happen?

They need to clean house after this year. Terrible coach, even worse GM.

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

I have watched that Porter gif at least 50 times. I cried I laughed so hard. Or maybe I was crying because of how terrible they've become. Either option works.

They may now be stuck in McPhee land. If the team blows a 7 game series in round 1.....or say loses again in round 2....I'd bet no changes. Maybe Wittman. Maybe not.

It's not like they will fail to make the playoffs. Cleveland is creeping up to that #2 slot, behind Atlanta. So the Wizards most likely won't see either of them in then in the first round, even if they end up 6th in the East.

Still a colossal waste. This team should be up there challenging for a top 2 slot themselves. Easily.

From the previous thread:




Yeah, don't see them getting 15 wins with this schedule: http://www.nba.com/wizards/schedule

 

[RandyHolt]

At least we aren't stuck in Greensboro for the tourney every year with the move out of the ACC. Go Terps!

I am needing my 2 TV setup but am too tired to schlep the 2nd TV out. #NewBorn
