Guru Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 (edited) He made it, so no. It's really not any different than when players pull up for wild 3s on a break. Jason Williams was notorious for doing this. You think to yourself wtf, wtf, wtf, but then it goes in so you can't really complain lol.

Dude is getting alot of hate for this. Maybe because he was 1-11 shooting before that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitro Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 I find it wrong. They were losing, there's been a lot of controversy surrounding the team and their immaturity, and up until that point his FGM-FGA was as awful as the team's record. It's just a bad look for an organization that is really struggling right now to have a positive identity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AboveLegit Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 I have a problem, and it's more towards what he said after the game when asked if it was appropriate. He said "it sparked a run, it got the team excited so I don't see what's wrong with it." Two things... 1) It didn't spark a run, matter of fact after that moment, we were outscored by more than 10 points.2) It's never ok to showboat when you're on a 1-11 team and were playing a terrible game to begin with. It just further proves how dysfunctional our team is right now. And to top this, Flip Saunders decided to hook him from the game, which brings up a whole new issue. Not only did he play an injured player for the rest of the game (Blatche), but he ruined any chance we had at a comeback. Blatche's defense made Samuel Dalembert look like modern day Hakeem Olajuwon... There were better ways of handling the situation, make him run extra laps at practice, but don't take him out of the game and further alienate a core piece.

Guru Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 (edited) I just want to say that I didn't watch the game so I can't accurately comment on the game or the effect that play had on it. But I will say that I don't see how this is any different from a windmill or tomahawk. The team was only down by 6 with 10 min to go in the 3rd quarter. AND they were playing at home. You can hear how excited the crowd got from that dunk. Was it unnecessary? Sure. Was that single play the reason the Wizards lost? Probably not.

Was that single play the reason the Wizards lost? Probably not.No doubt, as I said I'm more concerned with his logic behind it, and what Flip did in reaction to it. But, a windmill is much different than throwing it off the backboard and dunking it IMO. To be honest, I'm more upset about Blatche and Wall getting two techs back to back in the third quarter. That immaturity at it's finest, and really, that caused us to lose the game more than anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 (edited) McGee was just trying to step up and take the reigns of a mentally depleted team. Confidence is, "BIG," in the NBA; Javelle as leading the team in the right direction by showing heart and creating camaraderie among his team mates. I would have a problem if he did not get back on defense afterwards and created a photo-op by kissing new born babies in the stands but all McGee did afterwards was salute his team mates... Flip is not a good fit for this team and I would not break up their core for a coach that has not continually proven he knows how to help the multiple teams he has coached WIN .

Nitro Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 McGee was just trying to step up and take the reigns of a mentally depleted team. Then do something smart, not something more pundits can use as an example of this team being immature and stupid. You say it was to give his team confidence, which you think they need....I say they need their confidence broken and stepped on. This team is wayyyy over-confident considering their talent and experience. Too many players on this team play selfish and the confidence they have in themselves gives them 0 reason to change. Someone needs to break that confidence down through discipline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sħãlïq™ Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 I don't see anything wrong with it. Bad record has nothing to do with sick plays. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
