Pat Riley's stroke of genius.

 

Now that I look at it...he made too much.

 

Disagree.

The +/- numbers for last season do not mean much because of the injuries. So the lose/win rate has significant impact on those number. As one of the major scorers last season, JH is biased on those lose games. This is unfair for him because the JVG system was not designed to run through JH.

No matter what happened, it is hard to understand why JH wasn't on the court even in the proseason games. Even JH had negative contribution last seaon, should it be reasonable for coach to play JH who was starter last season? Please remember, those are preseason games. For me, it indicated and only indicated one possibility: JVG put JH on personal because of some unknown reasons. This is not strange for JVG, since we all know how JVG brought those old Knickers here.

BTW, I am not a JVG hater, instead, I like him as our coach so far.

 

I like Howard coming off of the bench. That was the big gripe on him a couple of seasons ago was that is was a better player as a starter. Right now, his +/- rating should be up there for his absence from the court. I'm glad JVG has the stones to bench a big dollar player (like most of us would).

I also liked in the article how Juwon was happy just to hit the court again in a game. A lot of players lose that as they get millions of dollars in their bank account. I just hope to see him not get depressed and start stealing big name items =)

 

I can't help but say "aaaawwwwwwhhhh" when I read this. Poor guy. Maybe that's why we had that -13 when he was on the court, because he was too busy being happy.

That's ok Howard. Now you can just sit back and enjoy the money they overpaid you with.

 

I'd like to see him get into the game for about 8 to 15 minutes a game b'c i really do think he can help the team on the court, but moreso if he is getting time he will be happy and help lead the younger players on the team

 

how can anyone who STOLE 100 million from the Washington Wizards complain?

 

XomoX.

That is a work of art. Brilliant.

Conveys the whole story, and the loser career of Juwan.

I have it as my wallpaper now.

Keep up the good work!!

Shuttup Juwan. Your scrubbiness should have been benched 10 seasons ago!

 

You guys pretty have the stolen glasses.

I'll just add that the extra time on the bench gives Juwon more time to mastermind his theft of the Mona Lisa.
