"We shot a low percentage and turned the ball over too much,'' Battier said. "Against a good team at home, you're not going to win those kind of games. We just didn't respond to their run.''


Im really starting to like how the NBA teams as well as sportswriters are taking the Wizards serioulsy. This team deserves recognition, and will go a long way in helping build the confidence in our starters as well as our role players. And btw I dont know if anyone noticed, but Ruffin was an integral part of the win last night. I just wish he'd score more often and foul a little less, but hey were winning, so i guess i wouldnt change a thing. Anyways Keep getting the W's guys.

GO WIZ!

I would say the players and coaches around the league recognize and respect us, but not the media. Their about as much as fans as you and I are.

I honestly could care less.

Id just assume stay under the radar for as long as we can because its not going to last forever. We are going to keep winning and get better.

Once we have the 3 amigos again, you see more of use in the press because well start to beat the tougher teams again.
