Why Didn't Flip Flip?



Well good readers, another day and another story about the Wizards.  And they say that the Clippers are a terrible organization?

From an article by  Adrian Wojnarowski, on Yahoosports:

Yes, the coach should’ve suspended Blatche, sent him home and played the rest of the week without him. Management told the coach it was his call, league sources say. They would’ve gone with a suspension, a benching, whatever Saunders wanted.
The coach backed down, again.
Story of his career.
Story of this franchise.

  1. "Anything still goes here." - Woj.

    It's true. From shitting in a teammate's shoe (thanks, Gil) to refusing to play to being content with 42% wins over 30 years... yup.

  3. Here's the counter argument: http://voices.washingtonpost.com/wizardsinsider/2010/03/saunders-explains-his-decision.html

    Flip has a point - Dray was essentially suspended for a game. Flip knows who this team is and he knows this season is lost. With Leonsis in charge, expect a far better team next year.
