The Official Washington Wizards Thread

I think they've both been ruled out for tonight already.

Intentionally not playing to tank? Nah, but they certainly aren't rushing them back just so they can re-injure themselves, especially something as finicky as plantar fasciitis.

[BRAVEONAWARPATH]

Think Nene will play tonight?

Does anyone think we're intentionally scratching him to tank? I hope not. If that's true our basketball karma will crush us in the lottery.

It's widely known that the Clippers tanked and ended up with Blake Griffith so I don't really believe in karma.

It's on the suns medical staff. Honestly I'm surprised more teams aren't like this when you consider the money on the line. Dan Snyder could use a reminder as well.

That's fascinating. Thanks for sharing that.

I agree. When you're investing millions in someone's body, it seems strange and cheap not to put everything you can into your medical staff. We should join the cutting edge here.

I think the Clippers might completely throw the balance of karma in the entire universe off.

You're probably right.

We are making Jordin Williams look like a legit NBA player.

What are the reasons Seraphin isn't being groomed to play PF? He has ideal size and soft touch around the rim. His shot mechanics aren't horrible. His only real weakness is his ball handling but that the easiest skill to learn and PF aren't asked to do much with the dribble.

Not sure if he has slow feet and lateral speed because he doesn't move much at the 5 spot.

(this game is horrible so I'm choosing to talk about something else)

I was wondering the same thing. I can only imagine he's been playing the 5 because we have had a lack of backup options, and he has the strength to do it. All season, we've been kind of overloaded with possible players at the 4 (Baltche, Booker, Vesely).

By playing him at the 5, it got him some extra minutes on the court.

LOL at DeMarcus Cousins's comments about Blake Griffin: http://espn.go.com/los-angeles/nba/s...-actor-matchup

Informed of Griffin's comments afterward, the second-year Kings player took issue.

"Of course that's what Blake is going to say because he's in L.A., where actors belong,"

I enjoy Boogie and I feel like I appreciate him more than most people.

I'm still harboring a fantasy where we draft Anthony Davis and when Cousins finally hits UFA he leaves Sacramento on the first train to D.C. and gives us a Calipari core of ass kickers.

That's in what, 3 more years? Nene will be in the final year of his contract and pretty much ancient by then. Going by that, we'll need a new center...

Blake Griffin is such a ****.

[MonkFan8]

Can't stand Blake, actually glad we didn't win that lottery. His game is tremendously overrated and he is a grade A *****.

Cousins is 100% right.

[Destino]

I like bigs with a little too much anger... And Blake is a flopper.

The battle for "at least we aren't the ........" continues tonight. Wizards v Bobcats, I bet the crowd is still bigger than the one at that public library the Pistons call home.

[Fight4RGIII]

Why isn't this game on ESPN or NBA TV or something? It's a prime matchup...

Should be on ABC.

This is like a pickup game that nobody cares about

I've seen pickup games with better fundamentals, lol

As bad as the Wiz are, the Bobcats should be contracted. They are flat out terrible.
