G.A.C.O.L.B.

Also...I'm still waiting for Charlotte to go on a one game win streak so Bubble Skip will tell us how great the Hornets are. Dude is pulling a nice houdini act.

Permabanned

Lol someone posted this elsewhere on the Internets. Didn't know this was possible;

With Derozan out for a long period of time, we could be on top of the East real soon.

Yup. Said that in the NBA thread when the the news of his injury broke. They given any timetable on his return yet?

Back to back chicken sandwich games?

Drew Golden reminds me so much of myself when he gets those tip in putbacks. I bet if you asked him how he does it, he couldn't tell you. Because I know I can't. It's like I just know the right touch and angle to get the tip.

You old enough to remember Rodman?

It has to be said. That Andre Miller cross-up was a thing of beauty.

**** CSN. Wizards halftime and they talk about the Redskins.

You listened to local sports talk at all? It's like they're doing Wiz fans a favor by spending any time on us. Drove me nuts my entire life but I finally have legit cause now. (Been said for a few weeks now I'm not watching games, but I don't even listen to Redskins talk on the radio anymore. Just. Don't. Care.)

Know what else I just realized? Blow out win, starters getting big rest and not a sign of Garrett Temple.

Am I right on that or did I just black him out?

Lol and I'm obviously a few minutes behind because speak of the devil. Looks like Randy finally figured out the whole Butler >>> Temple thing

And a chicken sandwich to end the night. This would have been a fun game to attend.

Lmao, you see Gortat celebrating the free chicken sandwich on the bench? Love this team

And I love the fact the starters only played a few minutes in the 4th.

Has Wall played any?

I've seen it all tonight.

"Good, quick instincts by Kevin Seraphin..."

Indeed

Wow, absolutely loved seeing John Wall stopping Seraphin coming off the court and dropping knowledge. Like Wittman has done done for years now. Official leader

Love this team

We need to make a statement and blow this team out.

Lol started posting the exact same thing at the end of the 1st, then got lazy and tired of the phone. Completely agree obviously

The nba has an abundance is patchwork beards that just ain't working.

Examples? Always like feeling better about my ****ty one

Lol Wall pulled that out of his ass. Shame he couldn't complete the 4 point play

I think maybe it's just carryover from our longtime status as "Clippers of the East"? Unless you play in one of the super markets (like the Clippers) or have some MAJOR back story (see LeBron going to Miami), it normally takes the media a few years to catch up with reality. You'll notice something similar with the Nats.

Wait. You are talking about Beal as "potentially the best shooter in the draft since Ray Allen?"

I mean, I like Beal, but come on now. He shot 44 percent (34 percent on three pointer) during his one year in college.

I know it's your thing (see Kevin Durant to Golden State) but pulling things out my ass just ain't for me.

HUGE game tonight. I know it's early an all, but establishing homecourt against the Heat is a must.

This might be the first time in my entire life, in my 25+ years of Bullets/Wizards fandom, that the 16th game of the season can LEGITIMATELY be called "HUGE". Goddamn it's nice being relevant.

Redwho? DMV is a basketball region. It's damn time the Wizards took their proper spot on the local pecking order.

We really need Martell Webster back.

Yeah I know there's been some news on Webster recently, any ideas when he's expected back? As far as I recall "soon" is all that's been said. I miss anything?

As Coach Gibbs would say "UP HERE you gotta win ugly sometimes"

A win is a win. And the Pelicans are at .500 but they'd be a top-4 team in the East.

And we're still second in the East but with Derozan going out with a tendon tear in his leg, we got a good opportunity to make a move for that top spot. Early as **** or not, that would really feel nice.

Gortat is allergic to angry dunks isn't he? Even when he does "slam" he usually just drops it in. Dude blew an easy lob because he tries to find a way to gently put it through the cylinder.

Got me thinking, how many great, or even just good, European "angry dunkers" have there been?

I saw some little mini-doc on him trying to relearn how to shoot. Holy ****. And people thought Wall had issues. I've never seen anything like that. And from the #2 overall pick, one pick ahead of arguably potentially the best shooter in the draft since Ray Allen.

Yup, if the best thing Abe Pollin ever did was build the Phone Booth downtown with his own money and single-handedly revitalize Chinatown, the second best thing he did was run MJ's ass out of town. And I'm sorry but that took some balls to do.

Huh? They were horrible for like 4 years! They technically should have won the 1st overall at least 2 times according to their records. So they could have had the brow, or Irving, or others. They ended up with Kamba and Bismarck. ( similar to how we ended up with ves)

No, instead of the Brow they ended up with Michael Kidd Gilchrist. Similar to how we ended with Bradley Beal, you know, with the very next pick. How's that worked out for them? Or they could've gotten Lillard or Drummond or even Harrison Barnes.

Those names hurt my soul.

Hey at least we weren't the ones who gave Jeffries 5 years, $30 mil (as the Knicks demonstrated yet again why they're my second favorite team).

Woooow, Derozan out indefinitely with a torn leg tendon. That's a potential game changer in the East.

Update on @Raptors DeMar DeRozan. Tests revealed torn left adductor longus tendon. No timetable for return to bball activity. #rtz

Danny Miller, Terps made the final four and he transferred out. I don't remember why he transferred.

(I was a HUGE Terps fan though back in the day, pre-championship, pre-Final Fours, hell pre-Joe Smith even.

I was brought up on all things local and followed Georgetown, GW, American, etc, went to Mason summer bball camps ever year and taken to their games constantly, so on and so forth. Above all though, I was raised on ACC basketball, raised on ACC legend and lore, and being a Washingtonian, the Terps were naturally my squad.

And then they (the ACC, not the Terps) went and ****ed up something great, something perfect. Just so sad I won't be able to share something truly special with my kids and grandkids like it was shared with me.)

Sorry. Sorry for the hijack. With me falling off the NFL...HARD, trying to figure out what to turn my newly-free sports time to and just reminiscing as a result.

Aka the Jared Jeffries & Jarvis Hayes Strategy, or "Jar. Strategy" for short.

Where art thou BS?

Question for you all, the National championship team, no McDonald's All American. They had one on the team who had transferred the previous year, to Notre Dame IIRC. My question: what was his name? For some reason I keep think Danny Miller. How close am I?

(thinking about this because listening to Terps talk on 980 right now (guess what 106.7 the Fail is talking about?) and they're discussing the McDonald's All American the Terps got now and how until he tests the NBA waters
