Somebody please step out on Kaman's bald ass

I swear Crawford looks like he is 49 years old

Somebody please step out on Kaman's bald ass

Chris Kaman is the type of center (Brad Miller, Big Z, etc.) I always wished this team had when we were competing with Gil, Antawn and Caron. They desperately needed a center that could hit a jump shot and facilitate the offense.

It amuses me watching McGee have no idea where to begin when defending a player like Kaman.

Oh yeah
Brad Miller is on the trading block every year
He woulda helped in all of those series versus the LeBrons
Plus he was a badass in the post

McGee cannot comprehend the concept that centers can move out of the post So he stays there the whole time waiting for a hi light block

we tend to dig a hole in the 1st quarter, then spend the 2nd quarter getting out, only to be shoved back down in the 3rd

What do you all think about going after Marcus Thorton this offseason....he has been lightin' up since he got to Sac town and he will be a free agent this summer. Also, does anyone know why OJ Mayo was on the trade block this year? Does he have character issues? I'd be happy to trade Dray Blatche and the pick we got from the Hawks for Mayo. I doubt that would be enough to get it done for the former #3 overall....but who knows.

Not a big fan of Crawford. Certainly worth a shot trading for him, but he looks like Gilbert Arenas super-light. Bad shot selection, high volume player with sub-par defense. When he's hot he gives the appearance of a good player, but I don't see it. I guess that's a problem with the majority of players on this team, though.

I hear you on the shot selection and lack of defense, but he is a rookie...and I can almost guarantee you Flip is just telling him to go out there and play. I definitely think Crawford has a future in this league as a 6th man (scoring off the bench)

Guy on ESPN compared crawford to Jason Terry, which I think would be a very good situation for us in the long run if he could develop into that type of player.

Yeah it's character concerns GB. He decided to go complete retard this year. Plus he's slipped the last two years after a very strong rookie season. IIRC they were gonna give him straight up for Hansborough. Not sure they'd take Blatche though since they're talking long term extension with Randolph.

Plus Mayo is another undersized, tweener type of guy.

[B55Green]

Wizards and their 10 point deficits, it really kills them.

Every game

Sarcasm my friend.

You wanna know my true expectations? I'll probably be dead in 30 years. Max. I don't expect to see one Wizards championship before then.

LOL I feel fortunate to have witnessed Redskins, Bullets, and Orioles championships in my lifetime

No doubt, I'll give him credit for stepping in when he's so young and hardly got any run in ATL. I do think the Terry comparison is pretty good in terms of their ability to fill it up off the bench, but Terry is a fairly high IQ player. Just gotta hope Crawford develops that.

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

Lucky bastard. At least I got the Skins SB though.

I honestly think that outside the Caps, of the three other DC teams, the one with who's gonna get the next championship is the Nats. I've given up on the Skins and the Wizards are the Wizards. I'll always follow them though.

scratch that on Mayo then....we need to get rid of our character issues as it is. I think we definitely need to get rid Flip and/or Blatche this offseason....if both of those guys are back next year I'm going to be furious...it obviously isn't going to work out.

I'm definitely on the Marcus Thorton bandwagon though.

and count me in for Harrison Barnes in the draft

I think the Wizards actually have the second best chance.....you can completely rebuild a team in just a few years in the NBA and we already have one major super star on the roster.....if we can get lucky and draft a second this year in the draft (although it looks weak) we could surround those two guys with role players the next couple years and be a contender in 3 or 4.

I'm convinced the skins will never change while Danny is still the owner and I don't know enough about baseball to comment on the nats.

Of all the major sports, I think the NBA then the NHL are the toughest.

Hopefully the Caps bring it home.

Wizards are +10 tonight with Booker in the game.....Ernie really hit the jackpot this year with the draft picks and trades.

I might actually stay up to watch the end of this game to see if John can get to 30-10

In the NBA you need one of the top 5 players in the league. I think the wizards have the least chance of every team.
