when King got fired last December.

All I’m looking for is an entertaining game and I think that’s what I’ll get.

I couldn’t agree more.

Eddie Jordan’s shortcomings are just like Cheeks.’ He doesn’t play his young guys enough and relies too much on his plucky overachievers. Plus, his teams don’t play defense well.

I’m not sure he’s a great fit, to be honest. All these gripes about Thad, Lou and Speights will come back.

Expectations haven’t been realistic in wizard land for a couple years now and jordan took the fall.

And then…

I never thought the sixers were better than a 3rd place team this year and I never wanted Mo hired in the first place

In case you weren’t aware, expectations in “sixers land” were quite high this year, your disagreement notwithstanding.

I find it remarkably ridiculous for you to assume on one hand that I speak for “wizards land” and then for you to turn around and say that expectations for the Sixers were also ridiculous because you always felt they were no good. Congratulations. Way to spin things so you are right. Why don’t you respond to stuff I write instead of assuming I speak for all Wizards fans? If you don’t feel like doing that, then don’t unleash your anti-Wizards fan rant on me.

I find it really hard to believe that Mo Cheeks wasn’t fired because of inflated expectations. Expectations which, by the way, were higher than Washington’s expectations. Which makes him different from Eddie Jordan…how…exactly?

Eddie is a better Xs and Os guy, and like I said with jsams, if that’s the real problem, then Eddie will help. The only thing I’m saying is that you will still see your young guys buried behind underproducing veterans. It’s something we’ve seen for years in D.C. The quality of said youngsters is irrelevant, because they are clearly outperforming the veterans.

If you’re still cool with that (which it sounds like you are now), then Eddie fits in well. He is a better coach than Cheeks. But don’t expect Eddie Jordan to cure all the teams’ problems.

This has nothing to do with anything in this discussion. Where did I say the Wizards had a better team than the Sixers?

This is what bothers me so much about you. You built a strawman and changed the goalposts of the discussion just so you could throw in your two cents about the team I blog about. I didn’t appreciate that, particularly when you’re telling me that my team isn’t as good as “everyone” thinks they are. I never said anything about the Sixers that was not evident in jsams post. I kept things on topic. You didn’t and crapped on my team in the process. Not cool.

I don’t care whether your claim about the Wizards is right or wrong. Really, I don’t. But it honestly doesn’t matter. You’re just trying to create an argument and I have no interest in participating. Why must you do that?

I simply came on to suggest that if one contention with Cheeks was his inability to play his young guys, which jsams wrote, that was the same contention Wizards fans had with Eddie Jordan. I didn’t come on to argue about Wizards vs. Sixers or even to suggest Eddie Jordan was a bad coach that did not deserve to be fired. When jsams mentioned that the young guys issue was not the only problem with Cheeks, I listened and changed my view. I didn’t argue. I tried to learn from someone who watches more Sixers ball than me. Something you could have done too by not changing the frame of the discussion.
