Ariza doesnt start anymore and Okafor is a)not a still a solid center b) isnt even playing center for this team.


Whitman is a terrible coach, dont get it twisted. But the Spurs have Duncan and Parker who are still playing at an all star to elite level. The Wizards dont have that.

If Ariza is your backup SF, you're in pretty good shape at that position. I know Webster has been playing very well lately. Okafor has also been playing bettet since Wall came back.

Parker's been the constant for SA. Duncan's still missed quite a few games and i don't think he's even getting 30 minutes a game. They've obviously both been great, but they have a lot of no names giving them great production.

If Pop coached the Wiz, they'd be in the playoffs right now, even with the injuries. They still have a ways to go to become a contender, but they have a start.

bradley beal was a terrible pick though :snoop:

:stopitslime: Bradley Beal was shooting 50% from 3 in the month of January and was putting up good scoring numbers until he injured his wrist. Another thing with Beal is that he is already a very good defender at the SG spot. He also gets rebounds and assists when his shot isn't falling. I definitely think he has the ability to play a decade plus in the NBA. He was a good pick.

Plus, he is only 19. :blessed:

Duncan is averaging 17 and 10 in 30 minutes a game this year. His per 36 numbers are the same as his career averages.

If Pop was the coach, he'd be dictating things to the GM here.

Good shape paying your back up SF eight million a year? :beli:

And with Ariza, it was clear as day Webster would eventually start over him. Wizards fans saw that in preseason. It took Ariza getting hurt for Wittman to make the change.

Okafor is hot or cold, but he also should not be starting.

Parker's been the constant for SA. Duncan's still missed quite a few games and i don't think he's even getting 30 minutes a game. They've obviously both been great, but they have a lot of no names giving them great production.
Duncan is averaging around 17 and 10 and just made the all star team based off those 30 mpg. He is playing great and is still the best big man in the game. Having a Duncan that can get you those numbers in 30 minutes and then having a HoFer in his prime in Parker allows for others that are not that good to fill in their roles. The Wizards do not have that, so comparing us to the Spurs is bizarre to say the least.

If Pop coached the Wiz, they'd be in the playoffs right now, even with the injuries. They still have a ways to go to become a contender, but they have a start.
No the Wizards would not be in the playoffs with Pop as coach. No chance we start off 0-16 or whatever but this team, without Wall and a reliable Nene, is one of the worst teams in the NBA bar none.

Then again, if Pop was coach there is a good chance Grunfeld is fired.

On good teams, which the Wiz are becoming (granted, it's too late this year), Ariza is a great contributor.

Pop's the best coach in the league. That team would be in the playoffs this year with Washington's roster. He's the opposite of Whitman/D'Antoni.

I already said Parker and Duncan were playing great. They've been unbelievable. My point was that they aren't even playing heavy minutes, Duncan's missed eight games and Ginobili has almost been a non-factor this season and the Spurs still have the best record in the league. They almost beat the Heat without any of those guys for godsakes. :mindblown:

He gets the absolute most out of everybody on his roster. Imagine if he coached the Lakers, Heat, Thunder, Clippers or Nets and imagine the Spurs without him.

To be fair, People have said that about rondo for 4 years

Wall's ceiling is much higher than Rondo's.

Wall really would be unstoppable with a consistent jumpshot. And Wall is better than Rondo defensively. Basically fukk Rajon Rondo

I told you Grunfeld > Dumars and Colangelo. If Wall was healthy all year, they'd probably be fighting for a playoff spot. They've been playing pretty good ball since he came back.

Not saying Grunfeld is a good GM, just better than those two. :whoa:

For the past couple seasons Joe has easily rectified most of the crucial mistakes he has made, the upside on how good the team can be now is at a high level.

The Wizards are a really good defensive team, and have been this entire season. :beli:

The Bulls actually have good players without Rose. The Wizards do not.

When you wrote that, you was smokin on something you thought was weed, but it was boat :mj:
This nikka Courtdog just said Vesley was an excellent pick :heh: dude is the WORST.
Vesley, Crawford, Booker, Ariza must go ASAP
Vesely is about 7ft and moves like he does. He was never supposed to be ready yet. He is a 3/4yr guy who is learning how to play.
We barely into year 2. He's shown he can be a great defender, rebounder.
He can be just a big body if we need somebody at the 4/5. And if developed right has the potential to be as good as Dirk.. or at least Blake Griffen
Let him develop. And you trippin about Booker. Crawford is a good backup player who isn't expensive. Ariza has a home here. Booker and Singleton are the wildcards that can put this team over the top NEXT YEAR if yo add in the right coach :ahh:

Thats why we beat Heat twice, OKC twice was it? Denver in denver, NY, LAC, Brookln in back to back to back games. Beat chicago last week.
Stop acting like we can't compete with anyone RIGHT NOW. So why couldn't a superior coach do better? Of course they could, why you hatin???
