Should Flip Saunders Be Fired?

Note the question is “should,” not “could,” because there’s no way the Washington Wizards are going to jettison the one variable that has nothing to do with their inconsistency. But with all things being equal, including last year’s poor start to the season and the continued defensive struggles of the team, is there room to [...]

Gilbert Arenas and Caron Butler Talk it Out

So we learned that the selfish comments recently made by Gilbert Arenas were directed at Caron Butler, and mostly crafted out of Arenas’ frustration with the offense. Needless to say, Arenas never should have said anything publicly, but apparently the two have talked and patched it up.
So glad it didn’t evolve to the point [...]

Wizards Build Vocabulary in Win Over Mavericks

Used to be that when you talked about the Washington Wizards, there were but a few words that immediately came to mind when describing them on the court. Off the court, you had no problems; swag, quirky, extroverted, silly, immature. The majority of the Wizards were all of those things.

There is [...]

Wizards Will Flip Wrong Script With Flip Saunders

Say what you will about the personalities, career wins and all of that, the question you have to ask yourself with the Flip Saunders-to-the-Wizards rumors is really quite simple.
Will Gilbert Arenas like playing for him?
Because if the answer is yes, which is what Saunders has generally been praised for throughout his career, you can look [...]

Could Flip Saunders Take Eddie Jordan’s Job?

Before you scoff, check the knowledge on why Flip Saunders was running defensive drills at Wizards camp.
My initial line of thinking was to wonder who invited Saunders to camp. If it was Grunfeld, does this ruffle the feathers of Eddie Jordan? I doubt it as Jordan seems like a ‘check the ego at the door’ [...]
