Flip takes the fall again. Feel bad for the dude.
"With logic he attacks. With statistics he defends."
Really?
I’m starting to feel like he’s part of the problem.
I don’t know what it is about him, I guess I just never liked him.
I thought he was a brilliant offensive coach. After Big Ben left, I don’t think we were ever good enough to be legit contenders. And even in Flip’s first year, I don’t think we had a good enough bench.

"With logic he attacks. With statistics he defends."
Agreed, for the most part.
However, I will never forgive him for stubbornly refusing to double LeBron in Game 5 of the ECF.

You get to the EQF as the favorites
and you are legit contenders. They even took the Celts pretty far during that third post-Brown year, though Sheed’s and Tay’s uselessness put a fork in that season, too.

I think this is the best thing that could happen to him.
You’re free! Run!

With Melo going to the Knicks
And J.R. Smith and Kenyon Martin trapped in China for the time being, there is no question that the Wizards are the absolute dumbest team in the league. There’s no other team that can come close, really. Like Kriz said, there’s no reason for Saunders to be sticking around in that situation any longer. He would have only been doing himself a disservice by staying at the helm of this team any longer, because no coach will ever be able reach Blatche, McGee, Young, Crawford, etc.
I knew it was bad for him after I read this
“You can say it really kills you to lose, but until it really kills you? For me, for 3-4 weeks, I’ve been on a steady diet of Subway, which is 20 minutes from my condo, and I bring it back up to my apartment. Because like I said, you don’t feel good about yourself. As a team, that’s how it has to be. It has to really hurt a lot.”
damn Flip looks like F. Murray Abraham’s less successful brother.

Larry Brown: Hey, Flip, remember that time when I won a championship with the Pistons and then you —
Flip: Whatevs.

As Much As I Really Can't Take Flip Seriously
..how does Ernie Grunfeld stay employed? Anywhere?
This is DBB, and this is what we do.
he's the next to go
his contract is up after this year. this team is a bunch of idiots. where else would a malcontent like Blatche be given the keys to the franchise and made a captain? buffoonery.

The Wizards is such a lame name.
And I’d rather they not get Pritchard, that’s who I want.

Indeed. If you’re going to commit to alliteration, go with something better than “Wizards”—IME. Warlocks, Welshmen, Walruses, Winnebagos, Waistcoats, Whips, etc.
duh

Dear DBB—
I would like to purchase—and rename—the basketball club located in Washington, D.C. Would $22 billion suffice?
