The Official Washington Wizards Thread

Hot Damn!!!

Boy if it doesn't look like we won that Arenas--Lewis trade. Dare I say it? Was McD5 right all along? At least about us coming out on top in that deal.

I dunno about that. Didnt orlando rip off like 8-9 straight after the trade. We havent even won that many since the trade.

Terps beat Clemson and the Caps beat the Leafs 4-1. Ovie with a hat trick or Ovechtrick!!!

I scored a trifecta today.

Caps win, GMU wins, and Wiz win
Thanks to my coworker for the free club-level ticket

SOME THOUGHTS
-We made only 1 three-pointer (Wall's CLUTCH one) and lead less than 2:12 of the entire game (using NBA.com's play-by-play), but a GREAT win.
-Too much Green
-We beat Boston!

This game reminded me a LOT of that Game 6 vs. Chicago in, I think, 2005? Trailed nearly the whole game until near the end.

This game had nothing riding on it, and if Shaq or Perkins had played, we lose. I guarendamntee it. So i dont see a correlation between game 6 and this one. But it is nice to see washington win. Especially with all those bandwagon C's fans in Verizon center. Good game.

I agree with McQueen. I thought it was a lateral move at best the time it was made. But I think Lewis is a better player. Or is at least a better fit.

I'm just saying the way we trailed until near the end.

Up from the D League on a 10 day contract. (I still don't know what happened to Hinrich, was at work until halftime). He went to Arizona. IIRC he was a top recruit coming out of high school out of NYC or Philly or something.

I would agree that Rashard has been a better fit for this team. Absolutely. Plays much better defense, and can play gritty. Things that Gil couldnt do. But that being said, it hasnt resulted in many more wins.

Hinrich hurt his elbow on a pass the other night. Looked like he hyperextended the thing.

[No Excuses]

The Wizards have been playing close to .500 ball with Lewis on the team. They were 6-18 with Gilbert. This move definitely resulted in wins for this team and a much better product on the court.

I find it funny how ppl jump from team to team in basketball

It was ridiculous how many celtics fans there were and i know Damn well they weren't there when the team was playing for the first overall pick a few years ago

But nice win, most hyped I have been since we almost beat the lakers

Your crazy
Me and my Caps die hards loved watching every game of the 2004-05 season lol

[Warhead36]

The Wizards(and Caps)are both bandwagon teams. When the Wiz were making the playoffs every year you couldn't find anything but Wizards blue and white in the stands. I still remember those awesome playoff series vs. Chicago and Cleveland. Hell even against Miami when we got swept, the phone booth was absolutely rocking.

And really it's the same way in Boston. We're talking about the same city where fans chanted MVP for KOBE BRYANT the year before the offseason where they landed KG and Allen.

[Destino]

The Gilbert deal was done purely to take a year off of our time in salary cap prison. I don't really care which is the better player being that both are clearly over paid. One is off the books sooner and that's all I need. Arenas is done as a star in the NBA and this team is in full rebuilding mode. Anything to clear the way for the long term plan of the best owner in DC sports is good with me.
