i f-ing love it, it's been long overdue. it has been obvious that there needs to be a culture change in the wizards locker room for some time now. i'm glad whitman had the balls to bench them and come out after the game and lay into them some more. time to step up or get the f outta town. crawford and seraphin will both start tonight and mcgee and young will sit on the bench. hopefully this ship can get righted before wall decides he is out of here, hopefully that already hasn't happened. who can honestly blame him for wanting to get out of this mess though.

Eh. The article mentions they will probably play McGee more tonight against Dwight Howard, but otherwise I like the idea of McGee and Young on the bench. They are just too selfish on the court for me to like the idea of them grabbing all the minutes. We're losing anyways, we might as well be losing while giving guys who deserve pt the opportunity to grow as players.

Personally I think McGee has some screws loose. I'll give him props though, he should've won the dunk contest last year.

i like the idea of showing these guys they don't run the team. i think in hindsight getting rid of e. jordan did more harm than good, as well as getting rid of butler and jamieson. having flip here was just a bad idea, he is a coach that can lead a team over the hump, not bring them out of the gutter. last year we had guys refusing to go back into a game and then starting the next night. a hard nose approach has been long overdue down at the verizon center.

wiz looked good tonight, they seem like they have responded to whittman, and are playing harder and smarter. wall had a great game in the loss to the magic, and crawford had a great game tonight. wall hit vesely with a long pass and vesely threw down a nice dunk. he still can't shoot for shit though. hopefully the wiz can keep it going. blache also came back tonight, shot awful but had some boards and assits.

Nick Young is done in Washington. Like to see us move him and get something before he goes

i think him testing the market before the season started showed no one really wants him. but it would be nice to trick someone in to giving us a dozen practice balls or something

If I were a Wizards fan I would want McGee traded too.

Wall and Booker are the only untouchables, imo.

Jan Vesely is not a lottery player.

and then crying about it afterwards

As for that 6-foot-11 guy, he doesn’t like being booed.

“It’s tough. You’re home and people that’s supposed to have your back don’t have your back,” a dejected Blatche said after the game, via Wizards Insider. “Instead of encouraging you to get better, they push you down and hope you do worse. It’s not only hurting me it’s hurting my teammates.”

I'm so lucky Okc is really good, I'd be crazy bored

Not sure how this game's going to end, but I absolutely didn't think the Wiz kids had it in them to fight back after being down 21 against the Lakers. Trevor Booker is a MAN.

The first half sounded like the Staples Center... they even interviewed a Laker "superfan" with a Kobe mask.

It was awesome seeing Booker and Seraphin bodying up the LA big men... those guys have all the effort lacking in McGee and Blatche.
