The Official Washington Wizards Thread

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

I mean when you're one of the worst teams and you're getting blown out on a regular basis by the other worst teams (Raptors, Kings, Nets, etc), doesn't it stand to reason that you are in fact THE worst team?

We're gonna win 20 games this year.

I feel sorry for Buck and Phil. They sound so dejected.

This team DESPERATELY needs a real big-man coach for the front court. Outside of their individual talent, our front court players have not improved one iota when it comes to being legitimate NBA big men.

They literally do nothing right. Half of our fouls this game are because they don't even know how to set a legal screen.

they're trying their best to accentuate the positive, but you can tell, they're hurting

[No Excuses]

There is no point in keeping Flip. Fire this loser.

he can take Grunfeld with him as a bonus

Saturday is gonna be ugly.

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

Well we made a game out of it. Six losses in a row though. At least we're not as bad as the Caps.

I'd rather slit my wrists than watch a team lead by Devin Harris.

No idea why the refs insist on bailing all of his flops out.

Had a chance in this one, but the refs and Gilbert's poor shooting wouldn't allow it.

We'll have Harrison Barnes if we want him. Buck up everybody. Things won't stay bad forever. Wall will come back. Young will still kick ass. We'll get a great player in this class. Booker and Seraphin will knock heads. And McGee will throw down highlight dunks all day because that's the only shooting he'll ever have to do.

Lol, foreal..

But at least Ovechkin doesn't sit out half the seasons because he is "sore." Boo hoo.

Eh, like I've said, I had shoe issues in the Army. I know firsthand what kind of pain can come from that. ESPECIALLY shin splints. Which is what I've heard that he is (also) suffering from. And you really do overcompensate for the issue, which can put stress on other parts of the body and eventually result in a serious injury.

It has actually been 2 weeks since a D.C. team won...Wow...

Yup. The Wizards got the last win. December 3rd. Which I guess makes them the hottest team in the city by default.

I also just realized today that 1/3 of the Wizards wins this year have come against the Sixers. We've played them twice.

[The Brave Little Toaster Oven]

I wonder if we can trade Flip to the Heat for Erik?

I got a bad case of shin splints in high school from wearing Chuck Taylor Converse All Stars at tennis practice for a week or two. One wonders how in the **** people used to play basketball in those horrible shoes. I was stupid and lazy and didn't bring proper court shoes to practice because I was so fricking fast I could have played barefoot and still run everything down. I played in boat shoes some days just because I could.

My hubris resulted in the aforementioned shin splints and that cooled my jets. Every day for a couple of months it hurt to walk. It really hurt to run and change directions. It definitely slowed me and subconsciously limited my effectiveness because I tried to get by on the court moving as little as possible. But I lived and still played and never missed a damn practice and I kept winning. I understand Wall's game is predicated on his speed and he's a multi-million dollar investment for our franchise. But you've got to hope he's tougher than he seems...
