I really miss this forum and talking smack with a bunch of the people here. I remember how much fun the prior seasons were and I really miss the game threads. Work has taken over my time to watch the Wizards...simply put, as a real estate agent, I'm usually working when others aren't. I haven't watched a Wizards game this year :(
I've been watching from afar, checking box scores, watching highlights...and I still can't get over...

..how we ****ing fleeced the Lakers to get Caron Butler for Kwame Brown.
:finger: :finger: :finger: :finger: :finger: :finger: to all the Lakers and their fans!
Just wanted to stop by ;)

there isn't much going on in this forum anymore. Half the time there's not even a game thread. Its a shame you've missed all the games this year, its been a great season to watch.

I kind of agree, I'm more prone to sticking to one board, not jumping around everywhere

Its waaaay too negative here. I like Wizardsextreme quite a bit. So much more knowledge shared over there too... its nice. And people are actually optimistic, its a refreshing change.

exactly, it seems literally everyone here is extremely negative. Whereas on WE, people actually seem root for the wizards.

no people dont want to hear the truth here. This team is gonna be under .500 soon and need Gil badly. This two west coast swings will kill em. The real teams come out to play now. Its near the all star break

Why because you want to listen to homers who agree and think the wizards are the best franchise in the world?
The wizards are now past the step of doormat, and have made the playoffs on an annual basis, but now its time they become a prime player and become championship form

February-5th-2008, 09:56 PM
And we discuss how the wiz can effectively become a championship caliber team. not why the wiz will never be.
thats the difference.

as long as arenas is out and haywood is the big man, this team will never be anthing more than a warm up series for whomever they play in the postseason

Thats the EJ system taking effect this season yet again. Playing starters massive amounts of minutes to just eek out wins and as the season progresses, they break down. Happens every year. around the midway point into the second half of the season.
EJ basically refuses to play his bench.. (unless his starters are injured, then he'll play the most worthless of the bench players the most minutes, hindering the progress of the rookies)

This team is more than a new coach away from being VERY GOOD. We need more athletes....more Caron Butler types that can do multiple things on the floor...Philly has Young, Carney and Iguodala...those guys are atheletes. We need some guards with quickness on D ...Daniels/Mason just flat out look slow every night out there....most importantly a presence on DEFENSE in the post atleast. Perhaps not a post scorer but someone that can guard a 4 or 5 in this league consistently.
I'm not sure how good a HEALTHY Butler, Arenas and Jamison Wizards squad would be but we need to upgrade the guys around them.
I want to see McGuire & Young in there more often...i'm sick of the same old same old
Being a Wizards fan is so damm frustrating!!!! Im just venting.

We are definitely looking tired and thats the reason for so many injuries. AJ broke down a few years ago with this system after starting a large number of games in a row. Caron is young, but due to all the minutes every year his body is starting to give. In previous years, Gil always looked extremely tired at the midway point and we would barely cruise into the playoffs. It seems like we are so tired that we sneak into the playoffs. And I like the point of us needing more athletes, but we can't pretend like philly is a good team, they are scrubs.
As far as negativity goes, I really can't believe that. I must be watching different games. We do have a good group of core players and role players, but we have to make changes to win. I like the growth of blatche and haywood, but even though haywood has improved he's not scaring anyone. I still act surprised when he simply makes a good play.

ugghhh, and tonight we have San Antonio. Anyone actually think we got a shot? If we don't turn around REAL quick, we'll be under .500 to start next week.

.....And the free fall begins. Same old, same old from the Wiz. We haven't won 50 games in a season since 1979. NINETEEN SEVENTY NINE!!!! 41-41 here we come. 1st round fodder. Bleh!

This western swing is going to be worse. Only game I can see us winning is against the Clippers.

February-7th-2008, 11:08 AM
Yeah, it's looking like it's going to get worse before it gets better. I just hope we can finish with Gil and Caron both being a 100% so that we MIGHT have a chance to make some noise in the playoffs....if we even make them at this point.
We're obviously not a bad team. We definitley have good players. But we're tired and we're hurt right now. Something's gotta change for us if we want to get to the playoffs and actually DO something while we're there.

February-7th-2008, 12:33 PM
I just want Caron to sit out a good 2 weeks or so...let Gil sit until mid March at the earliest.
Realistically it doesnt look like we will catch the Magic so lets try to finish the season strong & healthy and gear toward the playoffs. If we can just manage to finish in the top 6 spots in the East then we will avoid playing Detroit or Boston in the first round.
If we end playing our 1st round series with Toronto, Orlando or Cleveland I would take our chances if we are 100% healthy regardless if we have home court advantage or not.
Drop
February-7th-2008, 02:31 PM
Yeah i agree....i don't really think it matters where we end up seeding wise, as long as Caron and Gil are at 100% come playoff time.
If we have all our guys out there and healthy at the same time, we could give just about anyone in the East a run for their money.....like we were doing last year at this time.

But you can't keep dropping. We're what, the #6, #7 seed and Atlanta is catching us.

yeah that's true. if we keep losing, pretty soon we'll find ourselves on the outside looking in.
and being in the Eastern Conference....that means your REALLY BAD.
