The Official Washington Wizards Thread

[Duckus]

First time in a long time I switched from the Caps game to the Wiz game.

COME ON WIZARDS. God I want this one. ****ing Lebron.

[No Excuses]

NBA referees are such little bitches.

[richard saunders]

John Wall Dance!

nick young back in the game

[fullnelson9999]

These Miami announcers I'm listening to are almost as lifeless as Miami fans.

[G.A.C.O.L.B.]

How.has Seraphin looked tonight? I've heard.his name mentioned every now and then

[Skin'emAlive]

Great game, even though they are going to lose. I love the hustle and the hard fouls.

[No Excuses]

Seraphin has looked decent. Nothing special, nothing bad.

Bosh blatantly travels but the refs give him the and-1. NBA refs have no competition from refs in the other leagues.

Good hustle but he Has the finishing skills of Ben Wallace and Shawn Bradley

[StillUnknown]

he's knocked LeBron down a couple of times on fouls

decent hustle, missed a few around the rim though

[Skin'emAlive]

Lebron has played lights out defense on NY this half. He is suffocating him out there.

[Duckus]

Thats game. Good effort tonight though. Wall's words seem to have some effect.

[No Excuses]

Young is a ****ing badass.

[StuckinIA]

Wall, Young, and McGee appear to be the only players that contributed tonight. Except for Baltche, who contributed more by not playing than he has in any game he has played this season.

Young is a ****ing badass.

What do you mean Vishal? Young is obviously just a guy and only counts as .25 of our 1.25 barely adequate starters.

Those are our young studs. They played like it on the road against one of the best teams in the league. They are a really nice set of building blocks along with Booker and Seraphin. We're going to be a good team as we mature and actually become a team. Right now we aren't more than the sum of our parts. But our young guys have talent and energy and I think we'll start to turn it around before they get burned out.

I agree that Blatche needs a change of scenery, but we shouldn't give him up for nothing. I think he'll have some trade value for a team looking for some scoring. I would have moved him for the Clippers' lottery pick if we could have gotten our hands on it in time. We probably could have gotten Barnes with that pick. Oh well. Failing that, we should try and get a lottery pick for the 2012 class because it's chock full of good forwards.

Or if we're in striking distance of Jared Sullinger, I would gladly trade Blatche as part of a package to move into the top 3 to get him. If the basketball gods have any mercy in them, they'll let us get Sullinger.

Move Blatche, Bibby, and at least one of our older forwards. Pray for the third pick so we can get Sullinger. Hope Atlanta's pick is around 20 because take a look at these names in that range on draft express' mock draft:
- Alec Burks @ 18
- Josh Selby @ 20
- Brandon Knight @ 22
- Trey Thompkins @ 27

Those are some bit time offensive players. I'd hope for one of them with the second first rounder. Then in the second you can take whoever. I know some like Marshon Brooks, that could be a range.

Suddenly this starts to look like a team that could go somewhere:
1 - Wall, Knight
2 - Young, Crawford
3 - Lewis, Thornton
4 - Sullinger, Booker
5 - McGee, Seraphin
