Blatche Refuses to Re-Enter the Game

[Indazone]

Trade him to the Nets. Let him learn his lesson the hard way. lol

This guy's got Stromile Swift 2.0 written all over him.

This is even worse than refusing to shoot in the 2nd half of a Game 7 just to prove a point.

There is no need to drag Kobe into this conversation

I'm really disappointed


I was a huge fan before that incident


It goes to show you how "fame" can inflate someone's ego

I mean it has been. what, a few months?

Rather, Blatche's ego is finally famous.

[Mr Bones]

The main reason he didn't start before was his defense... and now that he gets minutes and scores, he feels like the coach doesn't have a right to tell him to play D!
The Wizards are a great example of how character and work ethic matter when trying to build a team.

lol blatche

[mingus]

i was PO that someone grabbed him ahead of me in fantasy, but looks like it's working out in my favor now.

isn't this the dude that picked up a hooker and got arrested for it, too? or was that someone else?

wasn't taught anything growing up, but that can be said for a lot of these guys in the NBA. glad the Spurs generally pass on immature guys like this.

Blatche wants an apology:

Does he want to stay in Washington?

"I mean, we have great management, Ernie Grunfeld, Tommy Sheppard, Milt [Newton], them all great guys. This situation, I wish it never occurred, but you know it's gonna blow over after a while. To me, I think this will all go away if I receive an apology, because to abuse my name like that, that's disrespectful and that's hurtful. And you want me to play for you after you made all these stories about me in the paper and after the game? That's crazy."

damn people, blatche is still young, of course he's going to act immature. If he did this around his mid 30's, then you guys can rip on him.

Since when does age excuse you from being an asshole? He and Saunders can hate on each other all they want all day, but the bottom line is that HE LEFT HIS TEAMMATES OUT TO DRY.

[sribb43]

WTF is he playing tonight??? Pussy ass Wizards organization

[FkLA]

Im with people that are asking how the can you side with Blatche? He may be young, he may be beasting, Saunders may not have the best credentials but regardless of all that Coach is always right. move by a player that was finally coming into his own.

Blatche is cutting off his nose to spite his face. Even if he does have a legitimate beef with Flip Saunders he's only hurting himself by playing it out this way. Suck it up and be a better man. Chances are he'll outlast Saunders in Washington anyway.

Age is not an excuse. hes a ing professional that makes millions a year. He has no excuse to be immature.

[Whisky Dog]

Biatche is as Biatche does.


FYI - Saunders is a little for crying to the media about it too. Then dragging Garnett's name where it doesn't belong - horrible leadership Flip. Handle your in house, not gossiping about a player to the media.

[Indazone]

18 yrs old and stupid as . He should be very coachable at that age. Not some Michael Jordan wannabe. He's not even half as good. He should have just sucked it up and played. Now his NBA stock is dropping like a rock.
