The easiest piece of the Wizards horrible Jenga puzzle got yanked today. Flip Saunders was relieved of his coaching duties and probably restored of his sanity. Godspeed kind sir. You deserved better than the dreck you were served.

Especially because there are some player personnel moves that need to be quickly executed in the hopes that John Wall and others don’t permanently catch the losing bug.
Basketball Prospectus had the scariest headline I’ve seen today: “What if the Wizards Don’t Get Better?”.
