The Official Washington Wizards Thread

[Rocky21]

Blatche was absolutely killin me last night.

+1. He really struggled early last night. And you know that guy. Once one little thing goes wrong, he slumps his shoulders and starts to play even more poorly. The guy just could not get it going last night.

On the other hand Heinrich played like a house on fire last night against his old team. He had a mouse under his left eye starting some time in the second half. Dude's a scrapper.

This quote from Uncle Ted was about 5 posts up.
"I was surprised to see the Washington Post writer that follows our team NOT being in DC last night to cover our game and win but was in Atlanta to cover the Hawks vs. Magic game."
IWas he referring to Michael Lee?

[No Excuses]

He could have been talking about Lee. I remember when Ivan Carter used to cover the Wiz, Lee would always whine and complain about how WP doesn't do a good enough job of covering the entire league.

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

Yeah it was Michael Lee. He was talking about it on twitter. He says Ted was just messing with him. I don't know.


But yeah, about going to a game, I'm looking at the Wiz schedule now. Tough. I work nights so it's hard for me to get to games. I haven't been working Tues and Thurs because of school and with the semester over, I now have those days off completely (my only days off). Unfortunately, the only home game next week is Wed against the Pacers. I can try to find someone to cover for me but I can't guarantee it. The next Tues or Thurs home game is the 11th against the Kings. Definitely can go to that one.

Ahh can't make the 11th game, I have class 6:45 to 8. See if you can have someone cover you Wed, or on Jan 1st against NO on Saturday or Jan 7 against Jersey on Friday. When school starts for me I can go every game besides Tuesday and Thursdays when my night classes are.

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

I'll probably know by tomorrow night, whether I can swing Wednesday. My little brother works with me so maybe him covering can be my xmas gift or something. Do you know if Wall is supposed to be back by then? They said a week, Wed would be a week.

And in the future, anything two weeks in advance I can set up, no problems. Don't like taking off Saturdays though. I live on tips and Saturday is my big money day. I probably bring in 1./3 of my weekly pay on Saturdays.


You gonna ride with us skinfan2k? Anyone else want to go to some games sometime this year?

Yeah
With tickets this cheap, you gotta get them while you can

I am dying to see Wall live...

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

I was at the home opener--Wall's DC debut and, to top it off, an AMAZING overtime win vs the Sixers. Top 3 sports experience for me.

But yeah, if anyone wants to hit up a game, I'm down to try to make it work

I talked to him earlier, pretty sure he will. So far it's you, me and him. We can wait a while before we buy the tickets to see if anyone else would be interested as well.

Well I don't wanna wait too long and then the game is sold out...

Blatche after the Bulls game:.

"That was probably one of the worst funks I've ever been in in my career. And it just got worse and worse, the fans started booing me. Once that happened, it messed my whole head up," Blatche said after missing 11 of 14 shots and scoring just seven points with four turnovers. "Was I surprised by it? Yes, because they are our fans, they are supposed to support us. At the same time, if I'm playing like [garbage], they are going to let me know. It goes both ways."

The Wizards will take the next two days off, then practice on Christmas in San Antonio, where they will face the Spurs on Sunday. Blatche has been working himself back from injuries to his left knee and hip, but wouldn't blame his problems against the Bulls on his health.

"Physically, I'm better. Mentally, I'm not. I get a little better physically, I'm mentally down now," Blatche said. "I come back, I try to redeem myself in San Antonio and Houston."

And then Flip:

When asked why he kept Blatche in the game, Coach Flip Saunders said: "He's one of our main guys. Part of development sometimes is getting your butt kicked. You can learn as much sometimes when you play bad, than when you play good. And, uh, I've got confidence in him that no matter how bad he's played, that down the stretch, he's going to be able to make a couple of plays for us."

Wow, I'm in a thread in stadium and I'm starting to realize that people think that the skins have more hope than wizards right now

Now I bleed burgundy and gold before any of my other teams but I know that the wizards are a healthy John wall away from making noise

What do y'all think?

They are delusional. The Redskins have young talent but most of it is incredibly average or below average.

The Wizards are stacked with guys that if they pan out, they have a chance to be top 5 at their respective positions.

Exactly....they were saying that there is no teams in the area in a state of flux like the wizards and I thought, "are you kidding?"

The Redskins are in the worst position out of all the local DC teams.
