I just hope that if you win against them, its not going to be "See, when we play together and everyone tries hard....." its the Wizards. If you win, the attitude should be, "who cares. Its the Wizards."

I would not be at all surprised to see them lose to the Wizards, who are 3-4 since going 0-12 to start the season. One of those wins was against Miami.
So in their last seven games, they are 3-4, while the Lakers are 1-6. The Wizards are playing much better ball than the Lakers in the last two weeks.
How long ago was this thread? Can't remember which one you're talking about.
I've always said that I don't think it matters how much of a 'cancer' the player is if you stick him in the right situation. Teams like the Spurs always get these underperforming players and the best out of them. I just can't believe that Blatche would come to a team like Miami, a genuine title favourite, and pull the same shit he used to. And if he did, you just get rid of him.
With how small our team is, I can't see how a 6-11 guy, averaging 12/6 in 20 mins wouldn't be helpful. From what I've seen he's also really athletic and can run the floor, as well as handle the ball.

Its in the Sacramento forum. Should be one of the top 2 threads. It was someone arguing against exactly what you just posted.
On my end I agree with you though. If you get a team full of misfits, malcontents, and just immature players, of course they're going to have issues. You bring one of those guys to a solid locker room where no ones going to put up with that shit? Its sink or swim, and quite often they smarten up and swim. Like Blatche or McGee, even if he is still a dimwit. They can't teach him to be smart, he's an idiot, there's no changing that. But they can teach him to behave and play within they system.
I was ridiculed for advocating signing him. McGee has shown the knucklehead can stay with you outside of there, but that place is really basketball hell.
Vince needs some closure. Eight years have gone by so enough with the boo's.
