Wake Up Washington Wizards, You're Better Than This

Andrew Ng
They were supposed to be contenders this year with their 3 all-stars finally healthy a month into the season they are 4 and 9 on the season and 3 games out of 8th place in the Eastern Conference. Their key players are healthy so what's wrong?

Their coach Flip Saunder is known to be an offensive coach with all the talent on the Wizards they should be at least at the 50% win mark at this time in the season. Not at 30% and out of the Eastern Conference playoff race already. Some experts have said that there should be adjustment periods since the Wizards have a different head coach this season. That's the point of training camp and preseason this team should have it together by now or close to at the very least. They win the games that they should not be winning and losing games that they should be winning. An example of this would be when they played the Cavs last week they played with heart, moved around the ball, and played all around defense but then lose badly to Thunder then to the Spurs before coming alive again and winning two straight including a big game against the Heat. Saturday night they lost to the Bobcats who were not considered to be in the Eastern Conference playoffs now they are and if the Wizards can't find some magic they are once again in the lottery. Who's to blame the coach or the players or the GM?

It's on the players who are playing selfishly not moving the ball well taking shots that are well contestant when they play in Flip Saunder's system they win when they don't they lose it's that simple. In order for the Wizards to make it back into the playoffs and make some noise which is defiantly possible with this group of players, they are going to have to play in Flip Saunder's system or the Wizard's General Manager should trade them.
