		<description><![CDATA[While it&#039;s no secret that they&#039;re terrible, I&#039;ve officially given up hope on the Wiz even coming up to a respectable level of play this year. The coaching is terrible, too many guys playing for next years contract, not playing as a team (looking at you Crawford and your insistence on going end to end every other time you touch the ball), and there is absolutely no bright spot on this roster other than Beal. I&#039;m pretty sure last night watching the 3rd quarter I counted more turnover than FG&#039;s and most of them were errant cross court lobs. Terrible play. And you look at Whittman on the bench and his reaction isn&#039;t pissed off, it&#039;s &quot;eh... whatever.&quot; 

My theory? Completely bust this team up. It&#039;s obvious that they&#039;ll end up with a top pick next year. That&#039;s a good start. But I think they need to boot the HC, GM, and hate to say it, but move Wall. He&#039;s still good enough to get some value and let&#039;s be honest, he is in no way going to resign here at the end of his contract. The rest of the team? It&#039;s all scrap heap parts. I&#039;d be willing to say that half of the roster wouldn&#039;t even make it as end of the bench players on the majority of NBA teams. Does it suck? Sure does. But it&#039;s become blatantly obvious that this team is going nowhere anytime soon with this collective group of replacements on the floor. Even when Wall comes back, there are too many holes on this team to get something good going.  I say stock pile picks, spend a friggin dime for once on an FA whose worth a damn, and find someone who can actually evaluate talent and rebuild from the ground up. Give &#039;em 3-4 years and see where we are then.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The only reason why I&#039;m not happy about the Raptors 4 game win streak is that Bargnani&#039;s trade stock is plummeting like a rock. 

Allen Andersen - where did that guy come from?? Every time he takes a 3, I&#039;m thninking &quot;what a terrible shot!&quot;. And then it always splashes in. I love it but I doubt he&#039;s going to maintain that pace.]]></description>
