The Washington Wizards (2-15) have fired coach Flip Saunders. There is nothing really surprising about this. There is no excuse for being this bad. This roster does have enough talent to not be this terrible.
Right now this team doesn't do anything well. They don't score (27th in the league), they don't rebound (23rd), they don't play defense (26th), and this don't pass (29th). I can't say I have seen this team play a lot this year, other then when they play the Celtics, but I would think they need to bring in some kind of hard nose defensive coach (though I think Flip was supposed to be that kind of guy). Guys like Blatche and McGee have some talent, but every time I see them I see huge lapses in concentration.
I don't mind Wall that much, so hopefully they can get a coach that can get the most out of him, and start to piece a team together around him. Then again, DP keeps saying this is a really strong draft, so tanking it and adding another stud with Wall could be their best option.
