Flip Saunders 'Disappointed' in Andray Blatche (03/23/10)

[ADAJ3]

2 years l8r he still gives us nothing.

[abmmwl]

I ran into Flip Saunders when I was at Chicago's Water Tower.

[retrotw]

this is for all the KG haters out there...it shows KG's passion for the game...and how coaches just love him around cuz he works hard all the time

Y'all are crazy. You want to bad mouth Andray, but I blame Flip just as much. He's sitting there talking about being a team and he goes and throws his player under thr bus? You don't air out you're dirty laundry like that, it's embarrassing for Andray and him. What does he mean "The coach's never wrong"?? Is he serious? If he doesnt like how the offense is run through Dray, then CHANGE IT. You're the coach, do something about it instead of belittling your players to make yourself look better.

shut up clown@missfashionfoward

[missfashionfoward]

@nafixisntright Tell that to someone who cares, cuz it definitely ain't me ya animal.

@missfashionfoward At the end of the day, coaches coach. Players play. A coach's job is to guide the player, observe, provide advice. The coach can't make the players be accountable. The players have to hold themselves accountable. Yeah, its flip's fault that Andray Blatche is soft, has no heart, and is out of shape. Please.

[missfashionfoward]

@VonBurgundy92 If u haven't noticed, nearly the entire Wizards team mirror those things u have mentioned. They behave as individuals and not as a team. That is as much as the coach's fault as it is the players. Which is exactly why his behind was fired.

[VonBurgundy92]

@missfashionfoward NO. It's on the players. I played basketball. I don't need a coach to show me how to be a teammate. How to be accountable. How to get in shape and prepare myself for a game. The only thing coaches do is design the gameplan, observe the players, correct them, and adjust anything else if need be.

Flip Saunders' track record speaks for itself. He has been a playoff coach everywhere he has been...except Washington. Wonder why.

[missfashionfoward]

@VonBurgundy92 It's a team sport which includes the coach. It's not like every time they lose, the L only appears on the players record, its on the coaches as well. No one is saying it's entirely Flip's fault but he does share the blame. I don't care if he has coached a playoff team, that has absolutely nothing to do with the way he's been coaching in Washington.

[unioncity]

He shot 44 percent last season. AS A CENTER

[xpacheco22]

@unioncity thats because of his mid-range shots. He's doesn't only stay in the paint for easier shots.

[unioncity]

@xpacheco22

Well have u seen Pau Gasol?? And if he is getting easier looks at the rim he should take them.

[HKISfreak1]

@unioncity hes more of a pf/sf than a center and he does have potential, hes got great length and great speed for a guy his size, if he wants to he can create matchup problems, hes also a pretty good outside shooter, hes just lazy..

[eyeswideopen86]

So why reward him with a nice deal after this crap? The Wizards organization is just like the clippers- satisfied with losing as long as they make money.

[JwebGuru]

Blatche's problem is that he is an absolute dumbass on court. If he were a player of even average basketball intelligence (for a pro) he could be an All-Star... but he isn't and never will be.

[cupertinoish]

n your gm gave him a 35million deal

[smoove002]

blatche is so freakin talented, but has no motivation. he could be the best big man in the nba

[DonCorleone87]

@smoove002 potential to be the best big man in the NBA? Talented?..... he's a career 46% FG shooter as a CENTER, averages less than 6 rebounds a game, less than 2 assists, and less than 10 points per game as the self-proclaimed "leader" of the Wizards who just got a contract extension of $35 million over the next 3 or so years. If that's what qualifies as talented and potential to be the best big man in the NBA, why not throw in Kwame Brown or Darko Milicic?!

[flyboy3333]

This looks like commercial quality.

[businessbmw]

flip is a gr8 coach! he know how to coach PF's look at KG.

[cavsarebitches]

This is why we can't win any games, you get payed to play idiot

[reklawvernal89]

[ratfinkdc]

[SirCuckooPepprmuddle]
