Nick Young 76ers 104 Wizards 89 NBA Wizards Nick Young

Nick Young


One was a fastbreak where he was ahead of the pack and got fouled while missing a layup when he could've dunked it, and other were drives when he missed or turned it over. Philly's Thaddeus Young on the other hand, a guy with comparible talent and a guy Ernie Grunfeld didn't seriously consider drafting because the team already had two young big men in Blatche and Oleksiy Pecherov, goes hard at all times. He scored 14 points and grabbed four boards in 29 minutes.

Blatche finished with seven points, six rebounds, three assists, five fouls and two turnovers in 31 minutes.

I have noticed the body language as well. The young players no longer have the will as they know they are one mistake from being pulled but the same thing doesn't happen to the vets. This is dividing the team and it's Tapscott's fault. Mike James played ok but he seems to be a gunner. I am not sure how that will mesh if and when Gil comes back. He is going to take time from Young. Since Tapscott took over McGee is regressing as well as Young. We all know that McGee needs work, but what exactly is the joke for starting him and playing him until his firstmistake? How does that build confidence> If anything they are making more mistakes becasue they are scared to just play.
