a self ally-op on a break away dunk by McGee in front of the home fans. Seems just fine to me, but I guess the Wizards are uptight about these things because their players are “dumb” enough to try to one up it later.

he went for a generally difficult shot

where he should have just thrown it down.

When you are the 2nd worst team in the league

you need to focus more on winning then looking cool.

yeah i guess

I just feel that because the Wizards are so bad, and because of all the knuckleheads, people are overacting to a dunk that wasn’t that risky.

To me its not the fact that it was risky

had he missed it that would be the issue. To be its just dumb, you are the worst team in the league and your trying to show off? how bout you show off by beating someone and having a winning record.

they were losing the game.. that's what i had an issue with. do the huge highlight reel play when you're winning the game.

Weirdly enough, I both have a problem with the play, and don't.

Ways that I do have a problem: First, the player comes across as very selfish in the situation, making himself look good. Second, of course, he’s doing that during a loss. It’s like being down 54-7, scoring a touchdown, and doing a celebration dance. It’s poor form.

But that being said, I really don’t have a problem with the play. The city has nothing to be excited about right now. If this can infuse some excitement and attendance (in the “we may not win but we’ll be flashy”, which is basically the Wolves’ entire marketing approach right now), I can accept it.

The problem, of course, is that the player wasn’t trying to get the fans excited in a blowout, he looks like he was just trying to make himself look good. So I get why he was benched.

If the Wizards have a huge problem with that play

Then why did they bring back Young, Crawford and Blatch? But, it wasn’t a smart play given the situation, so if I wasn’t for the Wizards organization I would totally agree with you.
